This NBA season will be the first season I watch. I have seen a couple of games in the past, but not followed the league throughout the whole season. I have previously only followed the NFL. I do have a favorite NFL team, but I know a lot about the league in general as well. However, I think it is time for me to add a new sport. The interesting way I am going to select my team is something I originally joked about to a friend. I talked about it and decided let's just see what happens. I decided to DM on twitter every NBA team that had their DM's open. I asked a very simple question:

This is my first season watching the NBA. Why should I become a fan of this team?

This would be final too. I do not bandwagon in sports. Once I choose a team I am a fan for life. Loyalty is important even in sports. Take the NFL team I follow, the Carolina Panthers. I know there are pictures of me as a small child in Carolina Panthers gear. I am still a fan through all the rough years with losing seasons. As well as two Super Bowl appearances both of them being losses. I would remain loyal to this team throughout any season that happens. The teams that I was able to contact were surprisingly few. There were only four teams that had their DM's open.

1. The Portland Trailblazers

2. The Phoenix Suns

3. The Milwaukee Bucks

4. The Houston Rockets

At the time of this writing, I have not heard back from any of these teams. It is a shot in the dark, I know that. If something does happen though I will be surprised. I will also update this with the results.

Fingers Crossed. Let's see what happens.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
