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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
