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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
