The NBA playoffs are here! The talk about "The King" Lebron James fighting for another championship against the Golden State Warriors is buzzing again. But, if you think about it, The NBA playoffs is a lot like Finals Week.

The Bracket

Once teams qualify for the playoffs they are put in a bracket. The bracket is full of the best teams that were the hardest to beat throughout the season, but there are always at least two teams we know will make it to the Championship. These teams all represent our class schedule and the “teams to watch for to be in the championship” are those one or two classes that you know are going to keep you up countless nights wanting to drop out.

Each Round of Playoffs

Every round of playoffs a team advances and the other goes home. The team that goes home is that final you take first and focus on first. The team that wins and advances is that final you put off studying for so you can get a good grade on the immediate final.

The Championship

The last final is here and you can almost hear the waves crashing down on the beach during summer vacation. The final seconds are ticking off the clock and you know you are either going to win or lose, and here it comes. You're praying to Jesus all your hard work during the season/school year paid off. Regardless you know you've just got to finish the semester/game and then the off season/summer is here. Keep pushing!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
