Welcome to All Star Weekend

Broadcasting and Cable

It is the most wonderful time in the National Hockey League. That's right, All Star Weekend is back. It is time for all the newbies and the vets to come together, show off their skills and hang out with each other. This year LA is hosting this marvelous weekend. Media Day, a skills competition and finally a day of games, what more could a hockey fan ask for. This year, 19 players will be attending for the very first time, a lot of these players are rookies. It will be interesting to see how to newbies handle being in the spotlight all weekend long. The fans were able to vote for their favorite players from their favorite teams to attend. The physical game will happen in a format of 3 on 3. It will be played tournament style. The new 3 on 3 format allows for an open flow and spaced out playing field. After 20 minutes, whichever team as more goals, obviously wins. When there are two teams left standing, they will battle it out to claim the title of the All Star Weekend champions. The MVP will win money and/ or a car. It is a time where they can relax from playing against their rivals and just enjoy themselves.

But be prepared for shenanigans. Every year during the skills competition, many jokes and gags are pulled off. Here is a bit of what Blackhawks Patrick Kane does,

I mean, they have all the fun in the world with this weekend. Just peep Tyler Seguin for a moment. Smile boy! One of the best moments that could happen in hockey is when they just throw as many tricks as possible. It's not all seriousness.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.
