OK, guys, I'm here to settle the disagreement once and for all. Tom "GOAT" Brady is actually just a nice guy who really isn't even that good at football. Compared to the other washout quarterbacks like Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Brett Favre, and all of the other "legends" that got "too old" to play football, he's probably up there in the top two or three, and here's why.

1. He probably cheats

Deflate-Gate, Spy-Gate, and Snowplow-Gate aside, Tom Brady probably cheats every time he steps on the field. I mean, those throws are too accurate and that arm is just too strong. And even if he's not actually cheating, he's probably thinking about doing it, which is just as bad.

2. He breaks league sponsored rules

The cheating never stops does it? I mean, Goodell can't even stop Brady OR the Patriots from winning games, even if the league puts it in the rule book.

3. He wasn't even drafted that high

He was a sixth-round draft pick out of Michigan, which obviously means the league didn't think he was that good. So if the league didn't think he was that good, that means that he must either be cheating or getting lucky, right?

4. He's old

At 40 years old, he is the oldest quarterback to ever make it to a Superbowl. At that age, shouldn't he be retired? Or at least allowed a walker on the field? A cane maybe?

5. He's got four first names

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Junior. That's a long name, and every one of those names can be used as a first name. And as they say, you shouldn't trust people with two first names. Well, he's got four of 'em. 'Nuff said.

6. He looks too good while doing it

With all that winning, shouldn't he at least, well... LOOK a little less, ya know... perfect? At least to balance out his Benjamin Button-like football ability?

7. He never talks about how great he is

I mean, with all of that wining, wouldn't you be a little full of yourself? Would it kill Tom to show a least a little cockiness every now again? Everyone seems to be sick of the easygoing, nice guy attitude.

8. He doesn't even get paid that much

Tom Brady's current contract is for $41 million for the next two years, and will only get $14 million of that this season, which only makes him the 18th highest paid quarterback in the NFL. Someone making that little compared to people like Sam Bradford and Joe Flacco means that he just can't be that great, right?

9. The money he does get, he gives away

He has his own foundation. His wife gives millions to environmental causes. Like, shouldn't there be laws against being TOO nice? Jeez.

10. He actually wanted to be suspended

Leading analysts believe that the entire Deflate-Gate scandal was just a ploy to get number 12 an extended vacation. You heard it here first folks: Tom Brady was so tired of winning that he got Goodell to suspend him for four games just so he could have a little more time off. #vacagate #timeoffscandal #toomuchwinning #bringonthechallenge

11. He doesn't even win that many games

I mean, he's ONLY been to seven Superbowls in his career. Out of those seven, he's ONLY won five of them. Like, even the two losses were from the SAME team with the SAME head coach and the SAME quarterback. Coincidence? I think not.

So there it is, the definitive proof that Tom Brady is actually a terrible football player, and just not a great person in general. Stay tuned until next week, where we will discuss the aftermath of the Superbowl, and what that means going forward.

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.
