No, Shakira And Jennifer Lopez Are Not 'Too Old' For Their Performance In The Super Bowl

There's no age limit when it comes to absolutely slaying the Super Bowl.

No, Shakira And Jennifer Lopez Are Not 'Too Old' For Their Performance In The Super Bowl

On February 2, the Kansas City Chiefs played the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. But the most important part of the night was when Shakira and Jennifer Lopez took the stage during the halftime show.

Of course, in the only way it knows how, Twitter began to spread its opinions about the show and how it was inappropriate. A lot of people pointed out the ages of both J-Lo (50 years old) and Shakira (43 years old).

People on the Internet lost it over the fact that J-Lo used a stripper pole to climb and slide down, which most people (including me) were amazed by. Some people claimed that it was inappropriate for her to do that on TV because she is 50 years old and there are kids watching the Super Bowl.

Honestly, I feel like critics have always been harder on the women rather than the men during the Super Bowl halftime performances.

During last year's Super Bowl, Adam Levine, who is 40 years old, strutted around the stage without a shirt on, and nobody questioned if that was appropriate for his age.

Don't even get me started on the 2004 Super Bowl performance. This was the year with the infamous wardrobe malfunction when Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake performed. At the end of their song, Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson's breast. The blame and criticism quickly fell on Janet Jackson, even though Justin was the one that tore off the piece of costume.

All I know is, if I looked that good and moved like that at their age, I would do whatever the hell I want. So, the moral of this story is: please keep your opinions to yourself, because age has nothing to do with J-Lo and Shakira's performance.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
