5. Justin Houston

Houston, an eight-year Kansas City Chiefs veteran, has signed on with the upstart Indianapolis Colts for the 2019 season. The Colts were one of the hottest teams in the NFL towards the end of the year and Houston will bring necessary experience and a dedicated work ethic to a younger group.

The former Bulldog has 381 tackles and 78.5 sacks in his career. He has also shown the ability to drop back into coverage with 4 career interceptions but has made his money being a pass-rushing difference maker.

4. Matthew Stafford

Stafford is the longest tenured starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions since Bobby Layne from 1950-1957. He is arguably the best the franchise had ever had at the position. Stafford has 38,526 career passing yards to go along with 237 touchdowns and a 62.4 percent completion rate.

Recently, Stafford has gotten a bad wrap because of his lack of playoff and big-game appearances but he has consistently been among the best stat producers in the game. His team is improving year after year and the numbers speak for themselves. The success will come.

3. David Andrews

One of the most successful players on this list, Andrews has made multiple trips to the Super Bowl snapping the ball to and protecting legendary quarterback Tom Brady. Andrews is among the best pass protectors in the league every season and continues to rack up accolades.

At just 26 years old, Andrews will only get better.

2. A.J. Green

Green was one of the most highly decorated receivers that ever came out of Georgia. He was seen as a game breaker and has lived up to that title with spectacular catches and 63 career touchdowns. Green amassed 8,907 receiving yards on struggling Cincinnati Bengals teams and is nowhere near finished.

Green has played eight professional seasons and has six 1,000 yards receiving campaigns, quite an accomplishment for a receiver.

1. Todd Gurley II

Gurley II has played four NFL seasons and accrued 4,547 rushing yards. Only one of his first four years has not been over 1,000 yards on the ground. Gurley II has 46 career touchdowns in 58 games with a Super Bowl appearance with the Los Angeles Rams.

As an extremely successful and dynamic running back, Gurley II is very young and still improving. Coming off an injury-plagued postseason, he will look to bounce back in a big way going into the 2019 season. Not to mention, he is a fantasy football stud…

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
