Super Bowl Commercials

I've never really been that big of a sports fan. Instead, I've just rooted for Chicago. Now though, as I get older, I actually enjoy watching different games more, and it is something fun to do with the whole family. One of the best games, however, that I've always loved, is the Superbowl. It's a great day to gather with friends, snack on great food, and enjoy a great game. But the game isn't even the best part. Even the halftime show isn't the highlight. Instead, the best part of the Superbowl is the commercials that come with. As someone who has taken both advertising and marketing classes, it's so much more fulfilling when you see such a great ad, because you know all the effort that went into it. After searching through YouTube, I came up with this list of the best SuperBowl commercials, in my opinion at least. Enjoy (:

10. E*Trade- Monkey

This one is very confusing at first, so it catches your attention. Then, with one simple phrase, it reminds you to be careful with how to spend your money.

9. Doritos- Ultrasound

This commercial is hysterically funny, and really gets the point across on just how good their chips are. Makes me crave them at least.

8. Budweiser- Wassup

Honestly, this commercial has no point. But at the same time, it makes me smile just by the sheer stupidity of it. Plus, it's definitely memorable.

7. Fed-Ex- Cast Away

Fed-Ex really knocked it out of the park with this clever ad. It's a parody of the film Cast Away with Tom Hanks, and definitely made me laugh out loud

6. Volkswagen- Darth Vader

It's the little things that make life great. This adorable commercial will surely put a smile on your face.

5. Ameriquest Mortgage- Cat Killer

Okay, when searching for these commercials, I watched this one multiple times and was literally laughing out loud. Very creative, and definitely memorable.

4. Snickers- Betty White

This brilliant commercial was just the start of a new campaign for Snickers, which undoubtedly went very well. Plus, who didn't enjoy watching Betty White "play" football?

3. Budweiser- Lost Dog

Right in the feels Budweiser. Like, c'mon. This was one of the most talked about commercials the year it aired. Just goes to show that you can never go wrong with using cute puppies in your ads.

2. Budweiser- Clydesdale 9/11 Tribute

This commercial is so simple, yet beautiful. 9/11 is a date in American history that evokes emotion in all of us, and in a way unites us together. It's nice to see a company show their respects.

1. Budweiser- Separated at Birth

This one tops my list because it's my all time FAVORITE commercial. Cute, and funny. Good job Budweiser. You always do it best (:

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
