The Chicago Bears Made The Worst Mistake Of The NFL Draft

Move over Cleveland Browns, there's now a team that has even worse management!

The Chicago Bears Made The Worst Mistake Of The NFL Draft

This weekend, the NFL draft came to Philadelphia, as hopeful teams were working overtime in order to gain new hopeful additions to a professional football team. One of these teams is the Chicago Bears, which used to be one of the biggest powerhouse teams in the country. But that was in the 1980s, and now they are rebuilding with the coach currently on the hot seat and with one of their most talented wide receivers going to Philadelphia (and as a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I just want to thank the Chicago Bears management for letting him go). So what are they going to do with the number 3 pick in the draft?

They could've waited out and gain talented defensive back Solomon Thomas out of Stanford, or even Mitch Trubisky without giving up anything. Instead, the Chicago Bears made one of the most boneheaded draft moves in recent memory.

The Bears decided to trade with the San Francisco 49ers for the number 2 draft pick, which is only one spot from where they were. The Bears in return gave the 49ers their No. 3 overall pick, 2017 third- and fourth-round picks, and a 2018 third-round pick to move up to No. 2. And this was all for quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who only had 13 career starts for the North Carolina Tar Heels. And this was after the Bears gave newly-acquired quarterback Mike Glennon a three-year, $45 million contract.

To say the Bears made a stupid move is an understatement. Mitch Trubisky seems like an average quarterback at best, and they already have a quarterback with guaranteed money for three years. We'll see what happens when the season starts, but this was clearly the worst draft move of the first round.

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.
