The Finals Weren't Rigged, The Warriors Are just Too Good

I know, I hate how good they are too, but this isn't the WWE.

Yes, the Golden State Warriors won yet another NBA championship -- their third in the last four years. But honestly, what can you do?

What can LEBRON do? What could he have done?

Yes, he went off for more than 30+ points in more than one Game of this year's Finals, but he still fell short. However, we can't put that blame on him -- it's on his team.

LeBron is the literal definition of "carrying," and he can only carry his team for so long.

He's been carrying his team for the entire season and, not to bash on them, but without him, they would've gone nowhere this season. And honestly, that's not even bashing on them, that's just me being truthful.

Like, yes, they have some shooters like Kyle Korver, Kevin Love, and J.R. Smith, but with these players... it's like a gamble -- especially with J.R. Smith.. you cannot fight me on this one.

For the Warriors, if Stephen Curry was having a bad game, then Klay Thompson was going at it; if Thompson was having a bad game, then Kevin Durant was going at it; if KD was having a bad game, then Draymond Green was going at it; if Green was having a bad game, then Andre Iguodala was going at it, and the list just goes on and on.

The Warriors didn't just have a starting line-up, they also had a bench, and that makes all the difference. If you do not have players that can -- at least -- decently perform in the rotation, then you're going to have a tough time. There are substitutions for a reason, and Cleveland was struggling with that missing component.

So, the Finals aren't rigged. Golden State is just a 73-win team who added a Kevin Durant.

And then Cleveland had a LeBron James and inconsistent J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, and Rodney Hood and George Hill who tried as hard as they could. Then you have Larry Nance Jr. who couldn't get his shot together (sorry Larry).

Honestly, LeBron is probably going to leave Cleveland -- and it breaks my heart saying that -- but at least when (or if... I have a little bit of hope) the Finals won't be Warriors vs Cavaliers again.... or so we pray.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
