To The 2018 Michigan Football Season: Thank You, Next

I cannot believe I am writing this today, November 24th, 2018. I was hoping I would be writing about the Michigan Football team sometime later in January, but life never works as planned, am I right?

Anyways, the season Michigan football team had, was utterly amazing, going on a ten game winning streak after a first-week loss to Notre Dame, trying to complete what we Michigan fans called the "Revenge Tour 2018." Having what was recognized as the number one defense in the country as of November 23rd. But we reached our breaking point, sitting pretty and confident ranked at the number four spot going into game twelve, we met our rival, Ohio State, in their stomping grounds for once again, "The Game."

Here in Columbus, Ohio, we fell apart, defensively, offensively, you name it. Our defense was rocked and blown wide open and we could not complete passes. We lost 62-39. You have to give it to Ohio State, they showed up ready to play and win, and today was just not our day. Congratulations.

But with that said, we have to look at the positives for the future of the team from this game. Right? This game should be used as a building block for next season. With a returning lineup, for the most part, we can only improve. We had a 10 game winning streak, until this point, so we do have a strong lineup. It was just a bad day. This game should be looked back at, now and in the future, with pain, regret, and want for revenge. This type of defeat should never ever be allowed to happen again.

We can change our game plan next year. We can change our offensive tactics and defensive strategies. We can enact new plays. We can come back stronger and better than ever. There is more than enough room for improvement. In order to succeed, you need to fail, and this is indeed this Michigan football team's failure. But we are not done. We are done for our run for this 2018 season, but not done as a football program. We will say "Thank you, next" to this past season, and look forward to next year's fruitful season. Do not count out the Wolverines.

We are the leaders and the best. We are the champions of the West. We hail to Michigan.

See you next year in the Big Ten Championship and National Championship. And of course, the Big House for our revenge to Ohio State in "The Game." Next year will be the year for Michigan.

As always, GO BLUE.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
