Random 2

As the NBA regular season comes to the end, I wonder if the Eastern Conference just as weak as the previous last 5 years? NBA superstar, LeBron James is not just getting better, but instead he is getting smarter. After 14 years in the league, LeBron is still at the top of his game, going back to the Finals 6 years in a roll. Every year around the playoff season, LeBron wakes up and transform into the machine that carries the team over any obstacle and find a way to win most series. As he is preparing for the 7th consecutive final appearances, the Eastern Conference seems to be weaker than ever. 

The number one seed of the Eastern Conference, Toronto Raptors, may appear to be a strong candidates to play against the Cavs, yet any basketball fan would remember how the Raptors operate in playoff games, Choking.. The number two seeds, Boston Celtics, lost their starting shooting guard at the very beginning of the season due to a gruesome injury and they just lost the starting point guard, Kyrie Irving in the last week of the regular season. Ben Simmons and the Sixers may make some noise in the playoff, however, I don't think a rookie will be able to win championships at today's game. I hate to say it as a Kobe and Lakers fan, but it seems like LeBron will literally walk into the playoff again.

    I'm not entirely sure LeBron will end up in the playoffs. My little brother is a huge Basketball nerd and he thinks the Raptors have been doing well this year. He also has a lot of faith in the Sixers. So don't lose hope, I know I won't. (My brother and I are rooting for Harden on the other side, he deserves the MVP title this season.)

    I have no doubt that LeBron is making what I believe is his 8th straight trip to the finals. It is nearly impossible to beat him in a seven game series unless you have four All-Stars like the Warriors. The playoffs should be great in the West though, I really think Houston can beat GSW.

    Since I grew up in Sweden, I haven't really followed basketball before. But out of the three biggest sports in the US---basketball, football, and baseball---I like basketball the most, because it's more fast-paced and exciting to watch. I adopted Clippers as my team when I moved to LA, but just like you, I'm sad that neither of the LA teams made it to the playoffs.

Music Festival Survival Guide

Pro Tips to a Better Festival Experience By Maren J. Lee Can you recall the excitement and overwhelming feeling right before a music festival? Well, I can still clearly remember my first festival. Not knowing what I signed up for, my friends persuaded me to purchase a last minute ticket and off I went to a 3 days festival at San Bernardino. As a festival virgin,  I did not know what to expect or what to bring to the event. All I had packed in my duffle  bag were three outfits and my toothbrush. Although I was extremely underprepared, I still fell in love with the beauty of festival. The beauty of escaping reality fascinated my imagination. I started to wonder if there are better ways to enjoy the festivities…   As festival becomes more popular among the millennials generation, more and more people are attending the festivity for the first time. This articles will provide a few ways to improve the overall experience through these three categories:  Pre...

Born on Third Base

Rebalance of the society's attribution goes hand in hand with the distribution of wealth. Chuck Collins made some excellent arguments about the transition of society's wealth to build a better and more equal world. Chuck's ideology required the wealthy to step up and make action to change the society. As part of the top 1%, when chuck received his inheritance at the age of 26, he decided to donate most of his possession and dedicated his time to work on the unequal problems. I really admire Chuck's dedication toward solving the problem. According to him, the world would not change for the better, if the riches wouldn't share their wealth with the society. I didn't finish the book, but I agree with all Chuck said in the book so far. This book may be the key to encourage the wealthy to support others and get involve with the transition.
