The tunnel is way more important than the light at the end. I said what I said, and I mean it. Now, you're probably thinking that I'm a negative person, but that is quite the opposite. The tunnel is our experiences. If you take a clueless person and put them in the light, then they won't know how to enjoy it. However, those who have gone through hardship know how to value the light. Our tunnels build our character. If we only had light, we would all be Jane Does and John Does. 

Don't make the rich richer! Now you could be saving money for different reasons, but let's say you're really trying to save fast, and that case you're gonna have to make some sacrifices. Is that $15 Netflix subscription really worth? Do I really need to buy ANOTHER pair of jeans? Shouldn't I just cook out home then go out to eat? These mini sacrifices make a big difference in reality. Save money anywhere you can. It's rough; I'm not gonna lie. But my biggest tip for you is to stay home too. Leaving the house is expensive! You still enjoy life of course, but be smart and be a hustler! Stay wealthy my friends!

The 2021 Masters kicked off yesterday morning and it looks like we have some exciting competition to look forward to over this 4-day major golf tournament. Justin Rose finished 1st on the leaderboard with a score of -7. He has a 4-point lead over the other 2nd place finishers and this is by far his best 1st round start at the Masters. Many of the stars playing in this tournament struggled on their first day. Dustin Johnson, the winner of last years Masters finished at +2 on the opening day. Also, Tommy Fleetwood scored a hole-in-one on hole 16 and recorded the 32nd one in Masters history. I look forward for what is to come in the second round after a great first day at Augusta National!

The Baylor Bears absolutely brought their A-game last night in what some may consider a blowout. The final score was 86-70  and all three of their starting guards had double digits just like their last game against Houston. Baylor started the game with a 9-0 lead and believe this lead is what help keep them rolling. Gonzaga's star player, Jalen Suggs, did not get off to a good start as he missed his first 3 and took a charge on his next possession. He then had to sit out shortly because he got 2 early fouls. Meanwhile Baylors star player, Jared Butler, did not miss a beat as he ended up with 22 points to lead his team to a dominate win. The Baylor Bears are well deserving of the 2021 national title!

The Final Four matchup between UCLA and Gonzaga was an all out brawl and Gonzaga slips away with a dagger in overtime. This game was one you did not want to miss considering there was 19 lead changes. The Zags are not only fighting to have a chance at winning their first national championship, but they are also fighting to remain the only undefeated team in the country. UCLA was easily the toughest team they faced thus far, and many people said that they wouldn't be able to answer when they face a tough team, but they did. UCLA guard Johnny Juzang was hit shot after shot and ended with 29 points, to lead their team. But, it just wasn't enough to compete with the Zags. Monday, Gonzaga will have a tough matchup as they face Baylor in the NCAA championship!

Baylor moves on to the NCAA Championship after putting on an impressive performance against Houston. All three of Baylor's starting guards were absolutely hot, all scoring double digits. Houston had no answer for the player of the game, Jared Butler, as he went 6/9 in field goals all in the first half. Baylor brought their skills, intensity and everything else they needed to dominate this game. Now, they go on to face the only undefeated team in the country, Gonzaga, in the NCAA National Championship. Monday nights game between the two is one that everyone's been waiting for, and with the talent both of these teams have, it should be one we won't forget!
