Odell Beckham is 24/7 Entertainment

Nobody has more Vine potential on and off the field than OBJ.

Football is an emotional sport and NFL fans can always relate to players who showcase their passion at all times. Some players are must-see on T.V., the football field and on the sidelines - Odell Beckham is a prime example. Whether he is catching a touchdown or getting beat down a net, the Vine potential is relatively high for him.

I have seen players go on tirades before, but a player crying during the third quarter of a close game was just weird. It seems as if some of his teammates just leave him alone when he has those episodes and just stay out of his way. The rest of the team might want to help him stay focused because without him the offense would struggle immensely.

As a Cowboys fan, I want nothing but bad things to happen to the New York Giants, but this situation makes me uncomfortable. I am perfectly fine with players getting upset when the game is not going well. When Dez Bryant went on his tirade against Detroit, I actually felt better about the Cowboys chances in the game. Sure, they lost, but Tony Romo threw two quarterbacks in five minutes and helped ignite the team’s offense. With Beckham however, his antics do not seem to spark the Giants, and they stay in neutral.

Another interesting thing I find from this situation is how Beckham's teammates do not really protect him on the field. He is their best player and only All-Pro player from last year, but they treat him like he is just an annoying little brother. Sure, they might want to give him the cold shoulder to teach him a lesson, but they should also consider putting their pride aside. Nobody on their team has the capability to destroy a game plan like he does, and that still has not happened this year.

One particular comment I found interesting was teammate Eli Manning saying he had to play smarter and I found that interesting. If I am not mistaken, Beckham’s tirade against Washington occurred right after Manning threw a one-handed interception in the red zone. Not excusing Beckham’s behavior, but Manning needs to focus on himself as well in New York’s situation.

The Giants lost again Sunday, but there were not any outbursts from Beckham. He even made up with the kicking net that beat him down last month, so Beckham might be turning a corner. The Giants still lost, but he caught a touchdown, so everything might be back to normal in New Jersey. All that built up rage coincided with his lack of touchdown antics, so Beckham can get back to doing dancing.

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.
