When you think of golf, what comes to mind? Tiger Woods? A driving range? A local tournament like the Waste Management Tournament in Scottsdale? TopGolf? After this year, there is a new name that will be blowing up social media, that name being Jordan Spieth.

Spieth is a 21-year-old from Texas who is on track to make history. He is currently ranked No. 2 in the world, right behind Rory McIlroy. A win at the 144th Open Championship in St. Andrews, two weekends ago, would have meant a chance to complete the Grand Slam in one year for the then 21-year-old. He finished one stroke short of the playoffs. Zach Johnson ended up winning the Open Championship.

Spieth won his first major at the 2015 Masters Tournament with a score of -18. Next, he took the peculiar course in Washington by storm at the 2015 U.S. Open and won with a final score of 5 under-par. These statistics may not seem special, but Spieth was the first player since Tiger Woods, in 2002, to win the Masters and the U.S. Open in the same year. He also won the John Deere Classic the week before the Open in Scotland.

This young man has made a big impact in hearts of fans all around the world. What sets Spieth apart and makes him the future of golf? Well, that is easy. It all starts out with his attitude on the course. When Spieth is playing, you can see the concentration in his eyes. Stepping up to the tee, you can see he knows exactly where he wants to put the ball and he succeeds every time.

Another reason Spieth has such a bright future is the way he presents himself on the course, especially on the green. He is not one to go crazy and celebrate for every hole and is very considerate to other players. You can see his fist in the air as he celebrates to himself and to his caddy. He is very classy in that respect and is not full of himself, which is why he is winning the hearts of fans all over the world.

The Texas native has a skill that most golfers can't get past, the ability to move on from a bad shot or hole. Spieth is very good at focusing on what is ahead of him, rather than dwelling on a bad drive or the Valley of Sin, which he got stuck in on the last round of the Open Championship. Spieth keeps his eye on the prize and knows what he has to shoot to win it all.

Jordan Spieth is the master of the course and is trending on Twitter. He is someone that you can see yourself hanging out with, maybe even playing a round of golf with. Spieth is the future of golf and will be legendary just like players such as Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer.

As a fan of golf, I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you, Jordan. Great things to come!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
