On Sunday, we saw two teams get destroyed on national television. At 3:05 p.m. on Jan. 22 in the National Conference Championship game, the Atlanta Falcons demolished the Green Bay Packers in a 44-21 win and Atlanta moved onto Super Bowl 51. Atlanta's offense was on fire, quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 392 yards and four touchdowns and NO interceptions!

Ryan is having the season of his career and he heads to the Super Bowl.

As for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay's defense, they weren't even there the entire game. I say that because they just sucked. They couldn't really do much on offense, and defensively, they weren't there.Rodgers threw for 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Not the best game for him at all. For next season, the defense needs to improve because if they don't, I don't know what will happen to the Green Bay Packers franchise.

As for the American Conference Championship, at 6:40 p.m., we witnessed another blowout with the New England Patriots beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-17. Quarterback Tom Brady threw for 384 yards and three touchdowns, and no interceptions, just like Ryan. Brady looked great on the field and so did the defense. Defensive back Eric Rowe picked off quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to cap off the game in the fourth quarter. Brady is heading to his seventh Super Bowl appearance, the most of any quarterback in history.

For Pittsburgh, they need work. They need to work on their defense greatly because without improvement, they might end up not even going to the playoffs next year. On the subject of needing work, Roethlisberger is getting old. Granted, he's not as old as Brady, but he's getting up there and I don't know how much time he'll have left. Maybe next time, Pittsburgh won't stay in the same hotel that they stayed in because apparently the fire alarm was pulled.

.

On Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m., the final game of the National Football League will be in Houston, Texas as the Patriots face off against the Falcons. It will be the best of the best facing off in a matchup that no one predicted.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
