It's the Wings' turn to rebuild

Brace Yourselves: A Red Wings Rebuild Is Coming

The Detroit Red Wings are their most disastrous season in over 20 years, and it is not looking like they will continue their playoff streak in the 2016-2017 season. They are last in the Atlantic Division 10 points behind the Philadelphia Flyers who hold the second Wild Card spot. Anything and everything they have tried this year has not worked as well as they hoped. No matter what they do, they just cannot seem to string together a series of quality games that result in wins for them. If this season continues down the path it is currently going, then it is likely that the Detroit Red Wings will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in 25 years.

Although the season and the streak are most likely lost unless a miracle happens, a bright future can still become a reality for the Wings. Many fans won't like hearing this, but the only way to get the Red Wings back to being contenders for the Stanley Cup is to rebuild the team from the ground up. Now, this does not mean they would rid the team of their good young talents such as Andreas Anthanasiou, Dylan Larkin, Jared Coreau, Anthony Mantha, and Tomas Jurco, but to move out some of the veteran players and be one of the lower teams in the league for a few years so that they can get a few high draft picks to make the team both younger and faster.

A rebuilding stage is just what the Red Wings need to become an elite team in the NHL once again. Although it won't be a fun time watching them rebuild, it will be fun once it is complete and the team becomes a contender for Lord Stanley again. A rebuild is upon us and whether Wings fans like it or not, it has to be done.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
