The 2016 NFL Draft, although it feels like it was just yesterday, has proven to have been one of the best classes in recent memory, especially when it comes to top-end stars. However, some have admittedly produced better than others, so here's how the teams would draft had they known what we know today.

1. Los Angeles Rams-Carson Wentz, QB, NDSU

Original Selection-Jared Goff, QB, California

While the selection of Goff has not been a bust yet, he has not yet produced to the MVP-caliber status that Wentz has shown thusfar. The Eagles quarterback has led his franchise to an 8-1 start in 2017, while Goff's Rams sit at 7-2, although his statistically horrible rookie campaign was much the product of the so-called Jeff Fisher Effect.

2. Philadelphia Eagles-Ezekiel Elliot, RB, Ohio State

Original Selection-Carson Wentz, QB, NDSU

The Cowboys running back, despite his off-field issues, has been one of the NFL's biggest talents through two years, and has the makings of an all time great. Behind a solid offensive line in Philly, he could do real damage.

3. San Diego Chargers-Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State

Original Selection-Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State

The Chargers keep their stud defensive end, as he has made them one of the most feared pass rushes in the NFL. Although there are other star players still available, the Chargers have no choice but to keep the centerpiece of their defense.

4. Dallas Cowboys-Jared Goff, QB, California

Original Selection-Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State

With Elliott off the board, the Cowboys snag their quarterback of the future in Jared Goff. Its hard to say how good Goff would be without the tutelage of Sean McVay, but its safe to say he could fill the shoes of Dak Prescott's game management.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars-Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State

Original Selection-Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State

It must be nearly impossible for the Jags to pass on Ramsey, arguably the best corner in the NFL, and the cornerstone of their elite defense, but if a franchise has a chance at a franchise quarterback, they have no choice but to take it. Prescott would slot in nicely with Leonard Fournette, Allen Robinson, and Marquise Lee on the offensive side as well.

6. Baltimore Ravens-Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State

Original Selection-Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame

Ramsey, as stated above, is just too good to pass up, and could very well go number one overall in a draft not as stacked as this one. Sadly for him, he falls all the way to number six as the final selection in my re-draft, although he will be the centerpiece of a resurgent Baltimore secondary.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
