If there is one thing everyone knows about me, it's that I am an Oklahoma City Thunder Enthusiast through and through. My twitter is basically a Thunder fanpage (subtle plug: follow me @ellier57) and a Steven Adams shrine.

It was a long and hard road, and at times we didn't think it would happen, but the OKC Thunder are officially in the playoffs.

So let's get to the point. I think the Thunder have an actual, legitimate chance of making it to the Western Conference Finals this year. Maybe even the NBA Finals (wishful thinking). Here's why.

Round 1 Matchup

OKC Thunder vs Portland Trailblazers. If there's one thing any devoted Thunder fan can simultaneously gripe and celebrate about is Russell Westbrook's beef with...well, everyone.

And when Russ has beef with someone, he will undoubtedly show up and show out for any chance to outshine them.

i.e., Damian Lillard, Trailblazers Point Guard. This'll be a fun matchup, folks.

Playoff P

AKA Paul George, just in playoff mode.

Team Chemistry

Let me say it again, CHEMISTRY. Look at that support! That sportsmanship!! That love!!! GO OFF!

Russell Westbrook

When he's on, at least. Especially come playoffs season, Russ is unstoppable.

Like Antonio Daniels said, "One Year ago, Denver didn't make the playoffs. OKC, San Antonio, and Portland were all eliminated first round. One year later...one of these 4 teams will be in the [Western Conference Finals]!!"

And lastly, the ticket that has been in my phone case for a few weeks

I'm not a superstitious person until it comes to the NBA. And I'm just saying, we have been 5-0 since that ticket has been in my phone case, so you can bet it'll stay there till the season is over.

However, the Thunder are notorious for losing games they should win and winning games they shouldn't have a chance at. So, just in case I am completely wrong on all of this, they could really pull a Thunder and get eliminated first round. There, I said it.

Anyway, Thunder Up!!!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
