2017 NFL Playoffs

Who I want to win the 2017 Super Bowl

2017 NFL Playoffs

The NFL Playoffs are finally here and there are some unexpected teams like Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders and Miami Dolphins. There are also the teams we are used to seeing in the playoffs like Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.

I was shooting for Oakland during the last few weeks until their start QB Derek Carr broke his leg in week 15. This was a crippling blow and they lost almost all chances to win the Super Bowl. The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys are the two teams I am rooting for since the Carr injury.

I like the Giants just because they have done it before and something just clicks with Eli Manning in the playoffs and could they be the team to stop New England again? The Cowboys are hard to root against this year because their offense is basically two rookies. I have never liked Dallas but seeing the rookies be such a huge part of the teams success its hard to hate them.

There are three teams I would hate see winning it all. They are Green Bay, Seattle, and New England. Starting with Green Bay let me explain why. It just goes against my Bears fandom to root for the Packers. Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson get away with every call and it just pains me to watch them play. Seattle is just full of dirty players like Richard Sherman and Cam Chancellor. New England just is not fun to watch in the playoffs anymore as they have made so many years in a row now.

I would be most happy seeing the New York Giants win the super bowl but just being a football fan I would like as many interesting games as possible. A few overtime games would be cool, maybe a few questionable coaching decisions or even a tough flag called. I just want to see drama.

Maybe next year the Bears can actually be contenders again but I am not as confident as Alshon Jeffery.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
