There really isn't any debate anymore

Can we all just admit that Tom Brady is the Greatest of All Time
Los Angelos Times

I’ll admit I’m a little biased when it comes to Touchdown Tommy. I’m a die hard Patriots fan and have been for the better part of the last eleven years, and even then I could’ve told you TB12 is the greatest QB of all time, and the case for him holding this title has only strengthened since then. Let’s start with the basics. Tom Brady is one of three quarterbacks to win four super bowls (the current record), but is the only one to do so in the salary-cap era, and if it wasn’t for a miraculous helmet catch and a lucky pass to Mario Manningham, he would have six super bowls. But that’s neither here nor there. What is most impressive fact about Tom’s super bowls wins that neither Terry Bradshaw or Joe Montana can claim? He won his third and fourth ring ten years apart. Ten years! Him and Vince Wilfork were the only players on both those Patriots team. This means with a virtually entirely different supporting cast he still was an amazing QB. Furthermore Tom has been in 6 super bowls, more than any other QB in NFL history. He is also tied at 3 for most amount of super bowl MVP awards. Additionally Tom Brady is the only QB to overcome a double-digit deficit in the super bowl to win the game. But it’s not only about super bowls is it? Tom Brady also has more wins than any other player in the postseason at 22, holding six more wins than the second place contender Joe Montana. Tom also holds the record for most TDs in the postseason and the super bowl. Furthermore, TB12 holds the record for most yards in the playoffs. Him and Bill Bellicheck have the best record of any QB Coach pairing in NFL history for both the Postseason and the Regular Season. Let’s also not ignore that Tom Brady has two MVP awards, and most likely a third at the end of this year, and has the greatest single season TD to Interception ratio ever at 28-2. A record he happened to set at the ripe age of 38. Let that sink in. He is still setting NFL records at 38. That’s insane.

Look, I could berate you with more stats or NFL history to show you why TB12 is the G.O.A.T. but I believe my argument speaks for itself. I’m not saying you have to like him, but at least give the man the respect he deserves.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
