The time has come.

The 2018 NFL Draft is here and I personally couldn't be any more excited. From sitting on my couch and watching it with one of my oldest friends to the frustration of always hating who the Detroit Lions select, it is still one of my favorite occasions. These are my personal thoughts and feelings on how the draft will go. This mock draft also has no trades because they are nearly impossible to predict. Enjoy!

1. Cleveland Browns- Sam Darnold QB, USC

Sam Darnold is, seen by most, as the top QB prospect in the draft. The Browns cannot pass up on his talent.

2. NY Giants- Bradley Chubb DE, N.C. State

3. NY Jets- Baker Mayfield QB, Oklahoma

4. Cleveland Browns- Saquon Barkley RB, Penn State

The Browns second pick is my favorite in the entire draft. Barkley is the most electrifying prospect in this draft and the best running back prospect the NFL has seen in years.

5. Denver Broncos- Quenton Nelson OG, Notre Dame

6. Indianapolis Colts- Roquan Smith LB, Georgia

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Derwin James S, Florida State

8. Chicago Bears- Denzel Ward CB, Ohio State

9. San Francisco 49ers- Minkah Fitzpatrick S, Alabama

10. Oakland Raiders- Tremaine Edmunds LB, Virginia Tech

11. Miami Dolphins- Josh Allen QB, Wyoming

Josh Allen is a steal for Miami. They didn't have to trade up and still got their QB of the future.

12. Buffalo Bills- Josh Rosen QB, UCLA

13. Washington Redskins- Vita Vea DT, Washington

14. Green Bay Packers- Harold Landry DE, Boston College

15. Arizona Cardinals- Lamar Jackson QB, Louisville

Lamar Jackson is seen by many as a risk because he has an unorthodox style of playing quarterback, but I think it is what will make him truly special in the NFL

16. Baltimore Ravens- Calvin Ridley WR, Alabama

17. Los Angeles Chargers- Mike McGlinchey OT, Notre Dame

18. Seattle Seahawks- Marcus Davenport DE, UTSA

19. Dallas Cowboys- Taven Bryan DT, Florida

20. Detroit Lions- James Daniels C, Iowa

The Lions have many needs, James Daniels fills out the offensive line perfectly from my perspective.

21. Cincinnati Bengals- Will Hernandez OG, UTEP

22. Buffalo Bills- Leighton Vander Esch LB, Boise State

23. New England Patriots- Taven Bryan DT, Florida

24. Carolina Panthers- D.J. Moore WR, Maryland

25. Tennessee Titans- Da'Ron Payne DT, Alabama

26. Atlanta Falcons- Maurice Hurst DT, Michigan

27. New Orleans Saints- Dallas Goedert TE, South Dakota State

Dallas Goedert is my top tight end prospect and I believe will be an absolute stud for the Saints. Also, playing with Drew Brees doesn't hurt.

28. Pittsburgh Steelers- Rashaan Evans LB, Alabama

29. Jacksonville Jaguars- Kolton Miller OT, UCLA

30. Minnesota Vikings- Jaire Alexander CB, Louisville

31. New England Patriots- Mason Rudolph QB, Oklahoma State

Mason Rudloph is my personal favorite QB prospect in the draft. Sitting behind Tom Brady is the best possible scenario for him and he will succed in that role.

32. Philadelphia Eagles- Josh Jackson CB, Iowa

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.
