Founded in 1933, The Philadelphia Eagles are commonly used as a punchline by many of those who follow American football. From no Super Bowl rings to several disappointing games our team has almost always been on the receiving end of jokes and memes. They're not the worst team in the NFL, but they've had their fair share of ups and downs. Although the Eagles have the most hardcore/loyal fans, there is absolutely no doubt that there are many struggles in being a die-hard fan. With being a fan comes the undying love, wild behavior and definitely a hard time.

1. Super Bowl XXXIX

A big thank you to McNabb -- that should have been ours.

2. New York Giants

The oldest rivalry in the NFL, thankfully not so heated/talked about.

3. Dallas Cowboys

THE MOST heated rivalry in the NFL. Do you really need more explanation?

4. Terrell Owens

Sure he can play, but the guy is a straight up douche.

5. Donovan McNabb

After choking during the Super Bowl, he really just went downhill from there.

6. Andy Reid

He was our coach for a good 14 years, and made his fair share of bad calls. He really did let us down towards the end, too.

7. Meeting the Cowboys 113 times in 82 years and losing 63 times

Yeah that means we won 50 times but still...

8. Hearing the same jabs from anti-Eagles fans

"How many Super Bowl rings do the Eagles have?"

9. Poor trade decisions

RIP Nick Foles

10. Being an Eagles fan living in Jersey

I made the poor decision to surround myself with Giants fans (thanks Rowan University).

With all the struggles comes the great strength an Eagles fan possess. There are so many reasons to ditch our boys in green and start rooting for someone that may or may not be better, but there's no fun in that. Sticking by them, even through so many mistakes makes loving football, loving the Eagles, so much better.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
