Golden State Warriors Sweep Cavs In the NBA Finals

The Golden State Warriors continued their impressive dynasty run this past week sweeping Lebron and the Cleveland Cavaliers. This was the Warriors' third title in four years, and Golden State could possibly be the greatest team we've ever seen. While the NBA playoffs had plenty of drama and great games, the finals matchup was just what most had predicted during the last offseason and many were extremely disappointed.

It was the fourth installment of Cavs vs. Warriors and coming into the series I predicted Golden State would win in five games, they didn't even need five. I'm one of the biggest Lebron fans out there so I gave him a game won out of respect. But basketball is a five on five sport and Lebron's supporting cast just couldn't keep up with the amount of talent Golden State has.

Kevin Durant dominated this series averaging 28.8 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Kevin Durant showed why after Lebron retires he might take the throne of the best player in the league. His ability to shoot over almost anybody and hit tough shots is something unheard of.

Durant and the Warriors were able to contain the rest of the Cavs but they didn't have to do much. J.R. Smith never really showed up in a positive way, although no one will forget his incredible game one mistake when Smith ran out the clock at the end of the game instead of trying to hit a game-winner because he didn't know the game was tied. Kyle Korver was his typical inconsistent self, hitting some shots but not enough for the big stage, Jordan Clarkson threw up enough bricks to build a house, and George Hill and Larry Nance were basically nonexistent.

The only player the Cavs had to support Lebron in any way was Kevin Love who recorded a double-double through the first three games and was a rebound away from putting one up in the final game of the series. Lebron averaged 34 points 10 assists and 8.5 rebounds throughout the series, which could've been his final game in a Cavs uniform. Regardless of where he goes, the city of Cleveland was given a championship and they should respect Lebron for that. No burning jerseys or trash talk on twitter.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
