Even when we lose we win...

10 Reasons Why Being Part of Patriots Nation is the Best Part of New England

1. The Games Bring Family Together

I can always count on my family gathering together in our living room to watch the game every Sunday. Whether it’s for an actual Pats game or if it’s their opponents, they always like to have intel on whether the team the Pats play next are hard to beat or an easy win.

2. There’s Always Some Sort of Yelling Toward the TV

This yelling is either anger or excitement. You can hear the family yelling about an amazing catch or a bad call all through the house, maybe even at the end of the driveway. What can I say, especially in a family like mine, we get really loud.

3. The Love for the Patriots Never Fades

Even though sometimes the Pats don’t always pull through when they’re supposed to, we are always loyal. The Pats will always be our number one team and our love for them is always there. We bleed red, white and blue for New England.

4. There’s Always Great Food Involved

Personally, I think this is my favorite part of the games, I mean most people love the food associated with footballs Sundays; chips and dip, chili, chicken wings, pizza, Chinese food, etc.

5. The Super Bowl is like Another Holiday

Getting together with family during the Super Bowl is alway tradition. You all gather together (usually with your Pats gear on) and you yell and eat together. As soon as they pull off the win there’s a huge celebration, sometimes involving tears.

6. The Players are Cute

Brady, Gronkowski, Edelman, Amendola; oh the list just goes on. If you don’t really get the game at least the players are nice to look at.


7. We Know the Pats Will Always Do Their Job

Every year we always have nerves as to whether or not we will be able to pull of the games we have to. However, at the end of the day the Pats always do their job, and we can all be proud of everything they’ve pulled off.

8. Somehow We Manage to do the Impossible

Pats VS Seahawks (Super Bowl XLIX)

Pats VS Falcons (Super Bowl LI)

Pats VS Jaguars

... And many, many, many more.


9. We Will Always be the GOAT

Let’s just talk about Tom Brady. How many times has he pulled off the impossible, how many times has he aided the team in our amazing wins. Even when we lose, we win.

10. The Rest of the Country Hates Us

I think this is one of my favorite parts about being a part of Patriots Nation. The only reason they all hate is because we keep winning; “they hate us because they ain’t us”.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
