2017 NFL Playoffs

Who I want to win the 2017 Super Bowl

2017 NFL Playoffs

The NFL Playoffs are finally here and there are some unexpected teams like Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders and Miami Dolphins. There are also the teams we are used to seeing in the playoffs like Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.

I was shooting for Oakland during the last few weeks until their start QB Derek Carr broke his leg in week 15. This was a crippling blow and they lost almost all chances to win the Super Bowl. The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys are the two teams I am rooting for since the Carr injury.

I like the Giants just because they have done it before and something just clicks with Eli Manning in the playoffs and could they be the team to stop New England again? The Cowboys are hard to root against this year because their offense is basically two rookies. I have never liked Dallas but seeing the rookies be such a huge part of the teams success its hard to hate them.

There are three teams I would hate see winning it all. They are Green Bay, Seattle, and New England. Starting with Green Bay let me explain why. It just goes against my Bears fandom to root for the Packers. Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson get away with every call and it just pains me to watch them play. Seattle is just full of dirty players like Richard Sherman and Cam Chancellor. New England just is not fun to watch in the playoffs anymore as they have made so many years in a row now.

I would be most happy seeing the New York Giants win the super bowl but just being a football fan I would like as many interesting games as possible. A few overtime games would be cool, maybe a few questionable coaching decisions or even a tough flag called. I just want to see drama.

Maybe next year the Bears can actually be contenders again but I am not as confident as Alshon Jeffery.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
