Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles must import talent in order to win.

The 2016-17 Philadelphia Eagles fall short of a completely disappointing season. The Eagles, devastated by the Chip Kelly regime, were thought to be a large flop in the pre-season. Chip Kelly had single-handedly destroyed the team's talent pool. LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, etc. were all lost as a result of the poor coaching. Running three plays quickly was not an effective scheme for the NFL. Doug Pederson stepped up in the Head Coach position, and with the draft of Carson Wentz, the city felt some excitement. The Philadelphia Eagles started off the season undefeated. This fueled the city's thought that after years and years, this would be the Super Bowl winning team. This dream quickly soured as the Eagles would lose game and game again, but there's always next time for this team. What does this team need?

This team needs to increase the talent. The receiving core is mediocre at best. Jordan Matthews is a great receiver, but a great number 2, not number 1. Nelson Agholor has been a major bust, Josh Huff was cut after an arrest in New Jersey, and there really is no way to win a Super Bowl with such mediocrity. Darren Sproles is an amazing running back, but he is quite old and should not be taken the bulk of the workload for the offense. Overall, the Eagles must import more talent for the team to reach its greatest potential. The age old phrase for this Philadelphia team, better luck next year. If the Eagles can manage to get the talent, next year could be the year behind Carson Wentz.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
