It seems like only yesterday the Patriots ran away with the Super Bowl title. Now, we have yet another NFL season upon us. Will the Patriots be victorious again? Or will a dark horse come and steal the Lombardi Trophy right out from under their eyes? Only time will tell how each team does in this next year. I myself have some predictions of my own, which are totally accurate and not implausible at all. Without further ado, I present my top five predictions for the 2017-2018 NFL season.

1. The Browns will make the playoffs.

This will happen, I guarantee. For a team that only had one win last year, the only way to go is up. Expect injuries on the Steelers and Ravens to boost their winning percentage within their division. I expect them to go as far as the AFC Championship game, where they will lose a heartbreaker to the Miami Dolphins.

2. Tony Romo will come back.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Brett Favre 2.0. After deciding to retire this past year from the Dallas Cowboys, Romo will be unable to resist the urge to come back after Dak Prescott fails to live up to the glory of last year. Under his leadership, the Cowboys will just miss the playoffs with an 8-8 record.

3. The Eagles will win the Super Bowl.

This is definitely NOT because I am a Philadelphia fan. No, I believe that, after years of almost being the perfect team, the Eagles have found their stride. Carson Wentz has a year under his belt with this coaching staff. This will push him to become the MVP of the Super Bowl, beating the Miami Dolphins with a last-second touchdown by a score of 28-21.

4. The Patriots will not make the playoffs.

I know this one will be hard for all the Patriots fans here in the Boston area. After successfully earning his fifth Super Bowl rin, Brady will be unable to repeat. The weight of pleasing the fans will be too much for him and his company, which leads me to my final prediction...

5. Tom Brady will retire.

Folks, you can only be on a special diet without tomatoes for so long. And at 40 years old, your body is going to want to stop being hit by men weighing over 200 or 300 pounds. After a disappointing season, Brady will realize that he can no longer be the man from 2016, quietly retiring before having his jersey retired in 2018.

So with that, I end my predictions for the season. Will they come true? Probably not. But if they do, do not say Sarah Ernst did not warn you!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
