The Kansas City Chiefs are 5-0 on the young NFL season and continue tearing NFL defenses to shreds. The latest victim of that incredible KC offense was the best defense in the league, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jags did what no other defense could do before, hold star QB Patrick Mahomes to 0 TD's and picking off Mahomes twice, his first interceptions of the year.

The story of the Chiefs' success is led by Mahomes who could be the front-runner for offensive player of the year in the NFL, totaling 1,513 yards in five games with 14 TD's.

Mahomes and the KC offense aren't going to slow down anytime soon with weapons like Tyreik Hill and Sammy Watkins on the outside with the option of Travis Kelce lining up on the line as a tight end or going out into the slot.

The rising star of Mahomes was known going into the offseason last year, as the Chiefs let then starting QB Alex Smith test the waters of free agency after Mahomes impressed in limited time as a rookie. With the proper weapons around Mahomes and Andy Reid's football mind leading the team, the Chiefs were destined to achieve greatness this season.

NFL fans have seen this before from Kansas City though, going 9-0 in 2013 and 5-0 last season and not getting a win in the playoffs.

As an Oakland Raiders fan, I'm waiting for that inevitable collapse KC hits mid-season, but this year just seems different. This past week against the Jags was when I thought Mahomes' stellar play would halt and the Chiefs would take their first L of the year, both were incorrect.

Mahomes went 22/38 with 313 yards and a TD on the ground. The two interceptions thrown were the first real blemishes on the season for the Chiefs, but it didn't stop them from securing a 30-14 win.

The Chiefs seem like the team to beat in the AFC for now (don't forget about the Patriots) five games into the season. The Chiefs will have another big-time test ahead of them this upcoming week against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

The Chiefs defense will be the key to how far KC can go in the playoffs, and next week will be a great gauge of how dependable they can be.

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
