I wasn't really a fan of either teams in the Super Bowl this year, and while Beyonce and Lady Gaga were enough of a reason to tune in, Super Bowl commercials are always the highlight of my year. Perhaps my marketing education has made me a nerd in this regard, but at my Super Bowl party, rather than talking during commercials and focusing during the game, I enforced the opposite. While eating (lots of eating) and chatting were allowed during game time, I forced everyone to be quiet during commercial breaks. I mean, hey, these seconds are worth millions of dollars and deserve appreciation! Below is my review and highlights of the best 2016 Super Bowl 50 commercials (in no particular order -- that's too hard to decide).

T-mobile -- Steve Harvey makes fun of himself


I find this commercial pretty hilarious. First off, completely mimicking Verizon's moving ball commercial, T-mobile directly calls out Verizon for their information about coverage. Then to top it off, Steve Harvey is there referencing his infamous Miss America crowning mistake and says, "I'm not taking responsibility for this one!" It's just great.

Doritos -- Disturbingly funny


I don't know why but its pretty hysterical for Doritos to advertise saying that their snack can induce labor of an unborn child.

Doritos -- Win part 2

Got to love America's best friend! Dog commercials always tend to go over pretty well, and this adorable "sneaking in" premise is too cute to not make the top.

Hyundai -- Kevin Hart as world's creepiest dad


At a whopping 5'4, comedian Kevin Hart never plays intimidating roles. However, Hyundai casted him as an overprotecting father, something hilarious in itself. This commercial is very relatable for many parents and still fits it well with features of the car.

Bud Light -- My 2016 presidential vote


Maybe it's just because these are two of my favorite comedians, but I think this was my favorite commercial to watch. Very timely with the election coming up, the use of political jargon and America's love for beer make this commercial genius.

Skittles -- Solid throwback


Every year there always has to be a classic rock commercial. Still killing the rocker look, I think Steven Tyler did a great job. Who doesn't like a good Aerosmith throwback?!

NFL -- Children singing about being conceived

I think that's what was happening here? The NFL got a lot of internet attention for this seemingly inappropriate topic, but I still thought it was pretty funny!

Mountain Dew -- I have no idea what this is


I don't have a good explanation for why this makes my top list but for some reason it made me laugh! It was definitely out there, but memorable to say the least.

T-mobile -- Drake is bae

Playing off of Drake's popular music video and song, "Hotline Bling," I think T-mobile did a pretty good job using this song about phones, and twisting it to show how other carriers "ruin everything." This was humorous and showed that T-mobile is pretty cool despite the nerdy dance break at the end.

Heinz -- Adorable wienies


Heinz has gotten a lot of praise for the commercial and I can tell why! The stampede of wieners dressed as wieners was adorable. And when you didn't think it could get any cuter, the puppies attack the condiments and lick them all over their faces! Also, the precious toddler dressed as the little ketchup packet really put me over the edge! Well done.

While a lot of people said the commercials were slacking this year, I have to disagree! This collection is super creative and all make me laugh every single time.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
