I've been counting down since June.

Worry no more, basketball fans, the boring Friday nights will soon come to an end because is coming back to town.

I realize how corny that was, but I don't take back what I said.

The angsty "Summer of LeBron" is soon coming to an end as we will all become witnesses to the reality of his decision to join the west coast Los Angeles Lakers.

Then, of course, there's DeMarcus Cousins who made his way out of New Orleans to join the 2k-glitched powerhouse Golden State Warriors.

But hey the Boston Celtics still have their young, up-and-coming team as well as the Philadelphia 76ers. Then, DeMar DeRozan had -- what I personally call -- an emotional breakup with the Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors after getting traded to the San Antonio Spurs for Kawhi Leonard.

Oh, and Russell Westbrook and Paul George are two of the "Big Three" from the Oklahoma City Thunder; Carmelo Anthony is now making his way to the Houston Rockets with 2018 MVP James Harden and Chris Paul.

Jeez.

Well, that's enough storylines and drama, for now, it's time to look at the upcoming season schedule, per CBS Sports:

Here is the entire national TV schedule for the opening week.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
