It's that time of the year again, the Heisman watch is here. There are 8 very talented players on this list I have below. One who is not included who struggled week one, but could make a case includes Trevor Lawrence (QB Clemson), Justin Herbert (QB Oregon), KJ Costello (QB Stanford), Laviska Shenault (WR Colorado), Shea Patterson (QB Michigan), Khalil Tate (QB Arizona), Jake Fromm (QB Georgia), Isiah Hodgins (WR Oregon st.), Rondale Moore (WR Purdue), Jerry Jeudy (WR Alabama), Chuba Hubbard (RB Oklahoma St), Deandre Swift (RB Georgia ). If there is anyone I did not name that you think should be on list please feel free to reach out to me and let me know who you think should.

1. Jalen Hurts QB Oklahoma

QB Jalen hurts Oklahoma

With a total of 508 yards its hard to argue against his week one performance. Jalen with a doubtly posted Heisman numbers this week. On this Trek the transfer from Alabama was 20/23 for 336 yards passing ad another 176 yards and 3 TD's Rushing. Need I say anymore the Transfer from Bama truly shinned in his debut making a strong case for a Three-peat of Heisman wins for Oklahoma QB's.

2. Jonathon Taylor RB Wisconsin

RB Johnathon Taylor Wisconsin

Wisconsin had a pretty easy win against South Florida rolling past them 49-0. While that was going on Johnathon Taylor racked up 135 rushing yards and 2TD's with another 50 yards receiving and 2 TD's on his only two receptions. Taylor was constantly in the Heisman talks last year, and you should expect it again this year.

3. Travis Etienne RB Clemson

RB Travis Etienne Clemson

Etienne is someone who has been in the spotlight since his debut at Clemson. He is a hard runner who makes players. In the season opener against Georgia Tech, he carried the team. Trevor Lawrence the QB struggled this past week while Etienne RB shined. On only 12 carries he managed to amass 205 yards on only 12 carries he put up 3 TDs too.

4. Tua Tagaviola QB Alabama

QB Tua Tagaviola Alabama

A slow start to a strong finish, last year's Heisman runner up put on a show in the second half against Duke totaling 336 yards passing and 4 TDs going 26/31 in the process, posting a QBR of 94.1, so a pretty flawless day for the second-year starter.

5. Justin Fields QB Ohio st

QB Justin Fields Ohio St

Georgia gave away a good one in Justin Fields. Ohio St. debut posted pretty solid numbers throwing for a little over 200 yards and 4 TDs while rushing for another 60 yards and a TD. Needless to say, his day was much better than Georgia QB Jake Fromm who struggled a bit against Vandy.

6. Jacob Eason QB Washinton

Another former Georgia QB, who also transferred after losing the job, Eason posted 350 yards passing and 4TDs going 27/36. He has a lot of potential to find himself in the Heisman talks this year. 13-ranked Washington could even make a playoff push.

7. Sam Ehlinger QB Texas

QB Sam Ehilinger Texas

Ehlinger may be able to get Texas back to its old heights with a noteworthy performance this week and a solid season last year. He is definetly someone to keep your eyes on. He threw for 276 yards and 4TDs this past week in a blowout win against Louisiana Tech.

8. Anthony Gordon QB Washington St

QB Anthony Gordon Washington St

Probably the least talked about person on this list, including the names I listed that didn't make the top 8, Gordon Threw for over 400 yards and 5 TD's in a blow out win over New Mexico St. Gordon looked very poised in this win and could do some big things this year depending on how successful they can be down the road. Washington St. is currently ranked 23 and doesn't play another ranked team until September 28th.

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.
