Is Odell Beckham Jr. Worth All That Money?

Odell Beckham Jr recently signed a 95 million dollar contract over 6 years with 65 million dollars guaranteed which has made him the highest paid Wide Receiver in the NFL. With all respect to Odell, the best receiver in the NFL currently is Antonio Brown so does it make sense that the Giants paid more to Odell than the Steelers are paying to Brown?

Lots of analysts such as Stephen A. Smith say that there's no way in hell that Odell should be paid more than Brown, but I disagree. Odell deserves every penny from this contract and he also deserves to be paid more than Brown. Odell may not be the best receiver in the NFL currently, but he is undisputedly top five, and in my eyes, he is the 2nd best receiver in the league. Other factors also contribute to why Odell deserves what he is being paid. Odell Beckham is only 25 years old, the second youngest top five receiver after Michael Thomas, meaning he is just about to enter his prime which is scary considering how good he is already. Having him under contract for 6 years is well done by the Giants as they have Odell throughout his whole prime and they will be able to make deep playoff runs for the next 6 years with Odell and Saquon Barkley as the centerpieces of the Giant's offense.

Even though Odell may not be the best receiver in the NFL currently, he will be very soon. The decision by the New York Giants organization to lock up Odell for the next 6 years when he is in his prime was a smart move. With Odell's production only bound to get better this contract while expensive will help the Giants to be on the Super Bowl hunt for years to come

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.
