If You Watched The Super Bowl And Aren't A Pats Fan... Sorry

Did anyone else have a good time watching the Super Bowl?

Last Sunday the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams, and Tom Brady cemented himself as the greatest football player of all time with his sixth Super Bowl win. And the game was... fine.

Don't get me wrong I was very entertained throughout the entire game. I'm partial to the Pats and to see their defense actually step up in the game and get some stops was actually refreshing. It was as if the season came full circle. If people weren't bad talking Brady throughout the season, they were talking about how much of a pushover the defense was. And for most of the season, it was. But the way they shut down one of the most explosive offenses in the league was beautiful to see.

But if you aren't a Patriots fan watching (because LA Rams fans don't exist) the game, then I can understand if you had a rough time with this one. The whole season was full of big plays and no-look passes, and by the time it came to the championship games the top four offenses in the playoffs were all going head to head against each other. It was set up to be an offensive onslaught to end the season and those expectations weren't even close to being met.

In fact, if you weren't an NE supporter then the whole night must have been pretty rough for you. It wasn't a very one-sided defensive game, the commercials weren't very good and the halftime show was as bland as rice (more Spongebob would've helped).

So for all of the people who are up in arms about how dull the game was, I get it. I'm not here to yell and scream at you for it. We've all been there as sports fans, there always has to be an amazing finish to the season. We're greedy like that. To me, it doesn't matter how my teams win just as long as they do. For everyone else, it was a tough way to spend a Sunday.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
