An Eagles Fan Super Bowl Experience Told In Gifs

https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/2018/02/08/636536521694478019-865477648_IMG_0682.PNG

I have no kids. I have never been married. Therefore, the Eagles winning their first Super Bowl was the greatest moment of my life (so far). As someone in my twenties, I feel lucky that I had didn't have to wait as long as the older generations of Eagles fans did for their first Super Bowl and first NFL championship since 1960.

While I lived and died with every play and only cared about the outcome of the game, I still had a great time watching this epic Super Bowl for all-time. Words can't describe the emotions I, and all Eagles fans, felt as the game progressed, so here are some gifs that will do our feelings justice. I only wish you could expereince something as exhilirating as this if you haven't already.

When The Eagles Came Out to Meek Mill's Dreams and Nightmares

Leslie Odom Jr. and Pink's performances

Realizing that the internet only cares about the gum Pink took out of her mouth but was actually a cough drop because she was battling the flu

Thinking why Bill Belichick would not play Malcolm Butler at all in the game

Watching the first teaser for the Han Solo movie

When Alshon Jeffery caught the first touchdown of the game

When Jake Elliot missed the Extra Point After the Eagles first touchdown

When the Patriots botched a short field goal attempt

Seeing Hopper from Stranger Things in the Tide commercials

The commercial with the audio from an MLK speech he took 50 years to the day

Watching literally every other commercial

When Malcolm Jenkins knocked Brandon Cooks out of the game

When the Pats ran a trick play but Tom Brady drops the pass

When LeGarrette Blount ran 20 yards for a touchdown

When the ball popped out of Alshon Jeffery's hands and it got intercepted

When Nick Foles caught a Touchdown pass from Trey Burton on a play called "The Philly Special"

Pretending to care about the Halftime show

Except for that Prince tribute

When I noticed ex-Eagle Freddie Mitchell in the crowd next to Justin Timberlake during the Halftime show

When you see Eli Manning and Odell Beckham imitate the Dirty Dancing scene (Even though the Giants went 3-13)

When Gronk started to take over the game

When Corey Clement caught the touchdown

When the announcers say the Clement touchdown should get overturned

When the Patriots took the lead

When Foles connects to Zach Ertz on the 4th and 1 play

When Ertz catches the go-ahead touchdown pass with just over 2 minutes left

Hearing the announcers plead that the Ertz touchdown wasn't a catch

Thinking about what I would do if they overturned the touchdown

When Brandon Graham stripped the ball from Brady and Derek Barnett recovered it

When the last-second Hail Mary fell incomplete

The Moment You Realize The Eagles Finally Won the Super Bowl

Watching the Lombardi Trophy presentation

When Jeffrey Lurie hoisted the trophy

Nick Foles's baby on the stage as he's given the MVP award

When you finally have something to brag about to other fan bases on the internet

Me whenever someone tries criticising Philly's Super Bowl celebration

The Eagles Coming Back to Philadelphia with the Lombardi trophy

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
