The Patriots have real issues with their offense at the moment as they don't have a strong quarterback and might be without some of their best receivers. Read to see how this could be detrimental to the New England Patriots season.

It's obvious that the 2016 New England Patriots have had a successful three weeks. With this being said, most people think that the Patriots are winning without their star quarterback Tom Brady, but what many non-Patriots fans don't realize is that the Patriots have done it without many of their stars including Rob Gronkowski for multiple games, Julian Edelman for a single game, among others. Even without these stars, the Patriots are still lacking a solid quarterback with Jimmy Garoppolo out with a right shoulder injury and third-string quarterback, Jacoby Brissett suffering a sprained right thumb. So how are the Patriots going to continue their winning streak? It's beyond me; however, leave it to the mastermind behind the entire New England Patriots team, Bill Belichick.

Belichick is notorious for being a man of few words, often disapproving of many media questions that are asked of him following team practices. The indisputable question that will be asked this week is who is going to be the quarterback? Will it be Julian Edelman, known for his amazing abilities as a wide receiver, will Jimmy Garoppolo be healthy, or are the Patriots going to sign a free agent? This issue is much bigger than Brady. The media desperately wants an answer, but the players do as well. Belichick always has an answer. He will find someone, rumored to be former Texans quarterback T.J Yates, to complete the job. Belichick is specifically trying to do his job, living by the quote that is synonymous with the Patriots. This quarterback issue also could potentially mean a lack of successful offense due to the fact that Julian Edelman is the Patriots main receiver. If he is quarterback, the role he played in college, the backup wide receivers will have large shoes to fill. This problem could be even more detrimental if larger than life tight end Rob Gronkowski remains inactive because of his hamstring injury. This problem is only for the Patriots Week 4 game because Brady is eligible to return Week 5! #BradyIsFree!

Well, if there is a will there is a way. If both Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski play their proper roles as receivers and the Patriots find a quarterback that can adequately do his job, I believe they will be fine. I mean look at it this way, the Patriots shutout the Texans on Thursday night with their third-string quarterback leading the offense with a sprained thumb and without, arguably, the best tight end in the game. As a Patriots fan, I think Belichick will be successful and the Patriots will prevail over the Bills, the last place team in the AFC East. This game is going to be a must watch on October 2 at 1:00 PM ET as these two rival teams go head to head for the first time this season. It will be an interesting game to watch for all those Patriots fans out there, so stay tuned and keep your eyes out for the latest Patriots news to see how the roster will play out for this extremely important game.

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.
