With the first pick in the 2016 NFL draft the Los Angeles Rams select..... *Roger Goodell Voice*

1. Los Angeles Rams (from Tennesse Titans):Jared Goff, QB,California

The Rams traded up 14 picks to get the guy they want under center. For the past five years, the Rams have built one of the most talented rosters in the NFL but haven't been able to find a quarterback to lead the franchise. They've gone through Nick Foles, Case Keenum, Austin Davis, Shaun Hill and former number one pick Sam Bradford. Goff may start as a rookie but won't have to do it all on his own because he'll be sharing the backfield with last year's Offensive Rookie Of The Year Todd Gurley.


2. Philadelphia Eagles (from Cleveland Browns):Carson Wentz,QB, North Dakota St.

The Eagles signed quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel earlier this offseason but are taking they quarterback of the future with this pick. The organization knows that the right quarterback can carry them to the Super Bowl. Wentz won't be forced into action early giving him time to develop for the future.

3. San Diego Chargers: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss

Chargers fans may not like this pick but they are getting a steal here as Laremy Tunsil is the best offensive lineman in this year's draft. Before the number one overall pick was traded Tunsil was likely to hear his name called first. Last season Philip Rivers was under constant pressure and this pick will surely protect his blind side for the rest of his career.

4. Dallas Cowboys: Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State

Ramsey fills a need for the Cowboys who had one of the worst secondaries in the NFL last season. He'll be able to slide in at safety, as a slot corner or outside against teams best receivers.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars:Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State

Bosa is an every-down lineman that will pair up nicely with Dante Fowler Jr. the teams first round pick last season. With those two on the edge, the Jaguars should surpass the team's sack total of 36 from last season.

6. Baltimore Ravens: Ronnie Stanley,OT,Notre Dame

The Ravens make the safe pick here taking the talented lineman from Notre Dame to protect Joe Flacco who's returning from a torn ACL and MCL.

7. San Francisco 49ers: Myles Jack, LB, UCLA

San Francisco wanted to take a quarterback her but the top two at the position are already gone. Chip Kelly will take the versatile linebacker that once played both ways as a Bruin.

8. Cleveland Browns (from Miami Dolphins via Eagles): DeForest Buckner,DE,Oregon

Buckner is a massive at 6'7" lineman that can do it all. The Browns have struck out recently with first round picks and will look to change that trend with this pick.

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida

Hargreaves gets to stay in the state of Florida and join a young Buccaneers team.

10. New York Giants : Ezekiel Elliot,RB, Ohio State

Elliot is the best running back in the draft and this is the perfect destination for him. The Giants offense led by a veteran quarterback Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr already have a stable of running backs but known of them are as talented as Elliot.

11. Chicago Bears: Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville

Rankins is small in stature but is explosive coming off the line. Scouts have called him a poor man's version of Aaron Donald.

12. New Orleans Saints: Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss

Treadwell is the perfect fit to replace longtime Saint Marques Colston.

13. Miami Dolphins (from Philadelphia Eagles): Mackensie Alexander,DB, Clemson

Mackensie Alexander has proclaimed that he's the best corner in this years draft class and Dolphins are looking to replace Brent Grimes.


14. Oakland Raiders: Jarren Reed, DT, Alabama

Reed fits in perfectly with the Raiders who already have pass rushers in Khalil Mack, Bruce Irvin, and Aldon Smith. With Mack commanding double teams Reed will get one on one matchups.


15. Tennessee Titans ( from LA Rams): Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan St.

Marcus Mariota is the Titans franchise quarterback and with this pick, the team looks to protect their prize possession.


16. Detroit Lions: Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State

Detroit could go a couple of different ways here the team has needs all over but need to add a lineman to protect Matthew Stafford.


17. Atlanta Falcons: Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson

For years, the Falcons have been looking for a pass rusher and this is the year that they finally get one. Lawson showcased his talents in the National Championship game dominating the Alabama offensive lineman.


18. Indianapolis Colts: Darron Lee,LB, Ohio St.

Lee is a versatile linebacker that could become a Pro Bowler for the Colts.


19. Buffalo Bills:Leonard Floyd,OLB, Georgia

Defensive minded Rex Ryan is always looking to add pass rushers for his sophisticated blitz packages.


20. New York Jets: Reggie Ragland,ILB, Alabama

The Jets could go with quarterback Paxton Lynch here but need a thumping linebacker to lead their defense.


21. Washington Redskins: Andrew Billings,DL, Baylor

Billings was literally and figuratively overshadowed by teammate Shawn Oakman but is actually the better player of the two. Washington gets a steal here a with a nose tackle that can rush the passer.


22. Houston Texans: Josh Doctson, WR, TCU

Doctson is the best all-around wideout in this year's draft and Texans are looking to build around their quarterback of the future Brock Osweiler.


23. Minnesota Vikings: Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame

Fifth round pick Stephon Diggs emerged out of nowhere last year for the Vikings but the team needs another receiver to catch passes from Teddy Bridgewater.


24. Cincinnati Bengals: Corey Coleman WR, Baylor

Earlier this offseason the Bengals lost their number two and three receivers in free agency. Coleman will be expected to step in right away at receiver opposite AJ Green.


25. Pittsburgh Steelers: Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State

Apple addresses the Steelers number one need. Last season the Steelers gave up more passing yards than any other team in the AFC.


26. Seattle Seahawks:Robert Nkemdiche, DL, Ole Miss

Pete Carroll is known for taking gambles on players Nkemdiche is a top ten talent but off-field incidents have caused him to drop this far in the draft.


27. Green Bay Packers: Ryan Kelly C, Alabama

Last season the Packers struggled to protect Rodgers and this pick will give the team more depth along the offensive line.


28. Kansas City Chiefs: A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama

The Chiefs look to bulk up their defensive line with this pick. Robinson is proven run stopper that can step in right away as a rookie.


29. Arizona Cardinals: Paxton Lynch,QB, Memphis

The luxury of being selected this late is that you go to one of the better teams in the NFL. As a Cardinal Lynch would get the opportunity to learn from Carson Palmer.


30. Carolina Panthers: William Jackson III, CB, Houston

Josh Norman won't be returning to Carolina so Jackson fills the teams need at the cornerback position.


31. Denver Broncos: Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky

With DeMarcus Ware another year older and the team struggling to come to terms on a contract with Von Miller the another pass rusher is needed.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
