st off, if you missed the game, no matter who you were rooting for, you missed the best game in history. If you don't know what happened, the Patriots came back from a 25 point deficit to defeat the Falcons in overtime, to take home the Lombardi trophy. No team has ever come back from a deficit that large and won, especially in a Super Bowl. New England fans everywhere had mixed emotions all throughout the game. Here is an inside look at the reactions we all had:

1. Reading all the pre-game reports the week leading up to the game, and all of them saying the Patriots were going to loose.


2. The day of the game, making sure all your meals and snacks are perfect for the party.

3. Drooling over Luke Bryan during the national anthem.

4. Waiting to see if we were going to win the coin toss.

5. When the game finally kicked off.

6. Seeing Tom Brady take the field for the first time.

7. When no one scored during the first quarter.

8. But then you remember the Patriots have never scored in the first quarter of a Super Bowl.

9. When the Falcons scored their first touchdown.

10. But then the Patriots didn't score one...

11. And then the Falcons scored two more touchdowns, and we only had a field goal, making it 21-3 at the half.

12. But then we all got to take a break from the game and watch Lady Gaga absolutely slay her halftime performance.

13. And then, the Falcons scored yet another touchdown, making it 28-3.

14. But we all knew Brady was not going to lose this game.


15. When we finally scored a touchdown, but Gostkowski missed the extra point.

16. When the Patriots started to look like robots, and before you knew it the score was 28-20, and the sun started shining again.

17. When Edelman made the best catch in NFL history.

18. When we scored with 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter, forcing the game into overtime.

19. Winning the coin toss in overtime.

20. When White ran the ball into the end zone and we were officially... CHAMPIONS

21. Watching Goodell hand us the trophy after all the hate we got from him.

22. And finally, getting your 87 cent coffee at Dunks the next morning (because we all needed it).


So thank you, Patriots, for giving us something to believe in all the time.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

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.

Blair Waldorf

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.
