Major Changes for the Atlanta Falcons

There are a lot of changes that have transpired since the Atlanta Falcons loss against the Miami Dolphins last Thursday.

Within one week, the falcons have cut 8 players from their roster, including one they recently signed this summer. Arthur Lynch, former University of Georgia standout and tight end, was signed by the Atlanta Falcons in mid July, and was waived by the Atlanta Falcons on August 27. Along with Lynch, offensive lineman Michael Huey, running back Gus Johnson, wide receiver Jordan Leslie, linebacker Ivan McLennan, quarterback Sean Renfree, cornerback Ryan White, and defensive lineman Brandon Williams were among the other players that have been waived by the Falcons. Sergio Brown (safety), was the only one to be released.

The Atlanta Falcons now stands at 75 players ready to be suited up for the last preseason game at the Georgia Dome against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What exactly does this mean for the Atlanta Falcons in the regular season?

Lately, they have been preparing two of the most stellar players for what is to come. Julio Jones and Dwight Freeney sat out of practice on Sunday due to their injuries. With Jones' ankle and Freeney's back injury, these two need as much time away from the field right now until full recovery and can help bring the Falcons more wins this season.

So, the question is, what do we expect against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Thursday? A good game with great players. Hoping that Jones and Freeney are recovered enough to bring some extra skill to the table, the Falcons will be ready to take home their 3rd preseason win to lead to more regular season wins for Falcons fans.

Although the Falcons have gone under major changes these past few weeks that will affect them in the future, these are bringing positive changes to the Falcons franchise and will help bring more wins back home.

Stay tuned on September 1 on your local CW station for the Falcon's last preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Georgia Dome. Follow @KayDesiraye on Twitter for Falcons' news and live game updates.

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.
