Sipping the Blue Kool-Aid

With this win, I'm kind of convinced the Lions have a shot at a winning season.

Sipping the Blue Kool-Aid

That's it, I'm sipping the blue Kool-Aid. There's no doubt about it after the win against the Rams this past Sunday on yet another last second field goal from Lions' kicker Matt Prater helping the Lions head into week 7 at 3-3. A record most people gave up on three weeks ago. Yes, they only beat the Rams. The same team who had the worst offense, but put up big numbers yesterday on the Lions' defense.

With this win, I'm kind of convinced the Lions have a shot at a winning season. Now, all this remains to be seen. But as long as they can continue to find ways to win, then we still have a chance at possibly making it into the wild card. Yes, they are still a long-shot, but there is a glimmer of hope nonetheless.

Now, I completely understand, y'all hate Caldwell. I'm not entirely in favor of the guy either due to his lack of emotion during the game and they way he handles the media. But maybe we need to give him one last shot. He's had some terrible teams to work with so let's cut the guy some slack, just a little bit. He's working for a historically awful organization, so let's all keep that in mind.

Next week, the Lions welcome in the Washington Redskins. They currently sit at 4-2 and in second place in the NFC East behind Dallas. This, once again, is a very winnable game for the Lions. But for the Lions to be able to win this game, the secondary has to step up. The secondary got picked apart by another average quarterback.

The L.A. Rams quarterback threw for 321 yards, while completing 27 of 32 passes. That cannot happen next week when the Redskins come to town. Yes, the secondary came up big once again with an interception to seal the deal, but 300+ yards is inexcusable. Other than that, the defense played very well against the run, limiting the Rams to only 76 yards.

With all this being said, the Lions are on a two game tear and heading into next weekend's game with some serious confidence and a chance to have an above .500 record for the second time this season.

Go Lions!

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.
