Patriots Make History

Everyone gathered around a TV with plenty of food and friends to watch Super Bowl LI and if you didn’t.. you made a huge mistake. The New England Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28. The game was nothing short of amazing and had every fan on the edge of their seat. It was the first Super Bowl to go into overtime and Brady took home his fifth ring.

Pats fans everywhere were closing their eyes, threatening to turn the TV off, and heartbroken as the score was 28-12 in the last ten minutes of the game. This was it. I have to admit I was convinced it was over and the Falcons had beat us. Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola scored the Patriots two touchdowns bringing the score to a tie. The first Super Bowl overtime in NFL history.

In overtime the Patriots won the coin toss calling heads and taking the ball first. Tom Brady also known as and commonly referred to as “the GOAT” passed the ball little at a time watching the clock carefully. In overtime the Pats went 75 yards in 8 plays for James White to score the winning touchdown after a call on pass interference. They didn’t only make history going into overtime at the Super Bowl, they made history with the huge comeback.

To all the Falcons fans that were convinced you were going to win and were trash talking at half time… that’s why we play the whole game! The New England Patriots have taken on their fair share of hate but I would just like to say they handle it in the best way possible:

Tom Brady appeared in a Shields Health Care commercial trolling Roger Goodell. It starts as the nurse asks him to remove all of his jewelry and put in the locker. As he takes off all four of his rings but then says “Actually, no I forgot this one” and pulls out the Super Bowl 51 ring. The nurse responds that he’s going to need a bigger locker and he says “Roger that.”


Then, Patriots defensive coordinator, Matt Patricia is seen wearing a Roger Goodell clown shirt as he steps off the plane.

The best part of after the Super Bowl is all of the memes. People sure do get creative. Here’s a few:

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.
