Following a 17-year consecutive streak of scoring at least 10 points in a game, LeBron officially ended his run with an eight-point performance against the Toronto Raptors. Despite the end of this symbol of longevity, his selflessness in sacrificing the streak helped clinch the win for the Los Angeles Lakers in a gritty four-quarter bout. With indicators of his retirement soon approaching, the moment highlights James’s career tenure and the length of his prominence in the league.

Hairstyles constantly change, whether it be popularity or style in general. Over hundreds of years, men's hairstyles in particular have changed drastically. Whether in the 1800s or the 21st century, men's hairstyles have always defined men. Hairstyles have evolved from slick backs with gel and fat to modern mullets and big, fluffy hair.

In a surge of hostile architecture, anti-homeless benches emerge across the U.S. in an attempt to remove shelterless Americans from public spaces. Ironically, benches, originally intended to promote community wellness, force homeless citizens to relocate and face an extreme lack of empathy. By shifting one’s perspective away from defensive strategies from a non-enemy and toward the aid of those in need, districts can successfully welcome those of all demographics — provided that those with authority over architecture head these efforts.

	As the second hand on the clock ticks slowly into hours and torn pages of calendars transition into distant memories of months past, history’s continuity in the modern day may fade into the background. A cause-and-effect worldview becomes pertinent when disconnection breeds hate. Unfortunately, no one aspect of the world exists in a vacuum, and as such, maintaining a tangible understanding of history persists as the only way to keep the present in hand.

Rory Gilmore’s later-season decline redefines her character from a prodigy full of potential and promise to a washed-up version of the girl she almost became. As her choices become increasingly questionable and self-destructive, her downfall leaves fans wondering if she ever truly carried the potential to reach her goal of becoming a world-renowned journalist. Rory’s failures highlight the pressure of perfection and rich privilege, and what remains proves in every way disappointing to the fans who once rooted for her future.

Since the early 2000s, the hit teen television show “Gilmore Girls” has taken over the screens of millions of viewers worldwide. Fans quickly swooned over main character Rory Gilmore as she aged into an academically savvy teen.
