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!

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
