Don't Count Out The Seahawks From The NFL Playoffs Just Yet

The Seattle Seahawks despite having a 4-5 record are still pushing for the playoffs and are still among the best teams in the league.

Don't Count Out The Seahawks From The NFL Playoffs Just Yet

Yes, I know the Seahawks have a losing record. Yes, I know that they are 4.5 games behind the Los Angeles Rams, but the thing with the Seahawks is that over the last month they've been one of the consistently better teams in the league.

The Seahawks have played the Rams twice this season and while they lost both games, they lost those games by a combined difference of a touchdown. That's very impressive considering the fact that the Rams have only lost one game and that was against the best team in the league: The New Orleans Saints.

Let's be honest, the chances of the Seahawks winning the NFC West are very very slim, but they still have a very high chance to at least make the playoffs as a wildcard team. The Seahawks are currently two games out of the playoff picture and winning against the Packers on Thursday Night Football leaves them one game out of the playoff picture. With a few losses for the Vikings or Panthers, the Seahawks could easily climb back into the playoffs and considering the Vikings and Panthers both have harder schedules than the Seahawks in the upcoming weeks, it is very likely that this might happen.

As I've watched the Seahawks over the last couple of weeks, it made one thing clear for me; this Seahawks team is capable of doing anything with Russell Wilson as their quarterback.

Seattle is the leading rushing team in the league this year as they are averaging 152.2 rushing yards a game. With defenses trying to shut down Russell Wilson, Mike Davis and Chris Carson have both stepped up to the plate helping the Seahawks out-rush any team they have played. Russell Wilson helps makes game-changing throws which helps impact the game in a drastic way. When in trouble Wilson can heave up a pass to help keep Seattle alive in the drive. Last week Russell Wilson missed on a crucial throw, but 9/10, he will make that throw to help his team win.

Outside of Russell Wilson, the Seahawks lack any real star power on their offense, but this offense still has the ability to impact a game in a major way.

The Seahawks are going to be scary for many teams for the rest of the season. I know no one expects them to go far, but with their experienced coach and insane quarterback you can't ever count them out because you never know when they will shine.

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.
