Looking early on the 2016 Ryder Cup

For those who aren't really into golf but you are into sports, the Ryder Cup Golf Tournament is one of the most exciting sports tournaments ever. Each year several players from the PGA tour get picked to be on a team for the United States and the European roster. This year's golf field is filled with a lot of veteran and up and coming players. Of course one of the best players that's been on the United States is Tiger Woods. However, he really hasn't gotten his great golf game back yet. One of the key reasons is because of the problem with his back. Woods is planning to make a comeback as he hopes to play on October 13-16 Safeway Open. Woods also said that he plans to play at the Turkish Airlines Open in Antayla during November and the December's Hero World Challenge in the Bahammas. It's going to be hard for Tiger to play well again due to a bad back but if he wants to come back, it sounds like his back has been just about healed.

The Ryder Cup is an event where its usually 2 players from each the United States team and 2 players from the European team square off. There are multiple groups that go out on the course at once and then there's others that go at different times. This year's Ryder Cup will be played from September 27th to October 2nd at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska Minnesota which is right outside of Minneapolis. Currently on USAs roster, there's a total of 13 golfers on the team. The golfers currently right now on USAs roster are first the captain Davis Love 3, along with the players like Dustin Johnson, Zach Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Brandt Snedeker, Jordan Speith, Jimmy Walker. There are still 4 still open spots for the USA squad. The canidates for the 4 open picks for the USA are Rickie Fowler, JB Holmes, Matt Kuchar, Bill Haas, Bubba Watson, Will McGirt, and Scott Piercy. From Team Europe, the captain field is Darren Clarke, Thomas Bjorn( Vice-Captain), Ian Poulter( Vice-Captain), Sam Torrance( Vice-Captain),Martin Kaymer, Thomas Pieters, Paul Lawrie( Vice-Captain), Lee Westwood.

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.
