11 Reasons to Watch Super Bowl 50

Here are some reasons to watch the Super Bowl this year, as if you needed me to tell you why.

Super Bowl 50 is coming up this Sunday. As a Winthrop student, we have the luxury of going to a University just thirty minutes from the home of the future winning team so this is definitely a Super Bowl to look forward to. Here are some reasons why you should be looking forward to Sunday.

1. Beyonce.

This needs no explanation. Just go with it. Beyonce will be performing, therefore, you will be watching.

2. Food.

Food doesn’t really need an explanation either. Wherever you go to watch the Super Bowl, there will be a 99.99 percent chance of food, unless you’re watching from your dorm. There might not be any food in there because #BrokeCollegeStudent

3. We are calling it Super Bowl 50 and using regular numbers instead of Roman Numerals.

It will be much more easy to read.

4. To see if Doritos steps their game up from last year.

Doritos always has funny commercials. Let’s see if they can do another one.

5. Cam Newton looks like the guy that bakes on High School Musical.

I think that’s a pretty good reason to watch the Super Bowl. Maybe he'll bring cupcakes to the game.

6. There will be controversy.

Coldplay and Beyonce just released a music video for their song Hymn for the Weekend, and the video has already sparked some controversy. Critics are complaining that they are making fun of Indian customs and religion. The performers will be doing the song during halftime and will surely cause an uproar for the rest of the country who hasn’t heard about the video yet so there is something to look forward to.

7. This is what Beyonce looked like last time she performed at the Super Bowl.

That was a fun show and she even surprised everyone with Destiny’s Child! (And I’m not talking about Blue Ivy). I can’t wait to see how she brings it this year.

8. Cam Newton will probably “dab on ‘em”

...Or do this.

9. Krispy Kreme.

Every time the Panthers win, you win as well because you can get a dozen donuts for $3.99 at Krispy Kreme. I’m assuming this applies to the Super Bowl as well.

10. Did I mention Sasha Fierce will be present?

11. Oh, and I think there might be some football going on as well.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
