As the Philadelphia Eagles became one of only four teams to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, the city erupted in a blaze of joy and pride. On February 4th, the Eagles won their first-ever NFL championship, thanks to the efforts of backup quarterback Nick Foles and his squad.

The Eagles played an impressive game against the Patriots during the Super Bowl as they took the term "underdogs" to a whole new level. Nick Foles looked as confident as ever on the field, racking up 373 passing yards, three touchdowns, an interception, and a 106.1 passer rating.

Tom Brady was also a genius in the game, with 505 yards himself; but Nick Foles one-upped him while he completed the same trick play that Brady was not able to catch.

The Philadelphian ambassador and hip-hop superstar, Meek Mill, said he was amazed as he watched his Eagles rock out to his hit song, "Dreams and Nightmares", before the big game, hours before they took the final victory.

As he watched the team dance and sing along to his track, he felt encouraged knowing injustice still mattered to people, and his voice is still being heard.

Meek Mill was sentenced to at least two years in prison for violating probation while driving his dirt bike on Instagram. Because of his heavy social media presence, he picked up reckless driving charges once the videos surfaced public media sources.After the big game, loyal Philadelphians took to the streets with posters, signs, and custom jerseys to support Meek Mill and peacefully protest for his release from prison. While Meek Mill's release from prison is most likely going to be postponed until 2019, the spirit of hopefulness is prevalent in his hometown of Philadelphia.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
