An Open Letter To All New England Patriots Haters
Vox

Football season is one of my favorite sports seasons.

It brings people together and gives you a fun event to look forward to every week. I, myself, am a die-hard New England Patriots fan, and come from a long line of crazy Patriots fans as well. As a football fan, I clearly know that not everyone is going to love the Patriots because they have their own teams to support and I totally respect that.

However, I will never understand these "Patriot Haters."

Super Bowl LII brought on a great match up. Of course, my favorite, the New England Patriots, against the Philadelphia Eagles. First things first, I want to give so much props to the Eagles for making it to the Super Bowl for the first time in many years, and for winning their first ever Super Bowl.

However, in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, I heard many people's input on the hopes for certain outcomes in Superbowl LII, and let me tell you what's wrong with it.

"Who do you want to win the Super Bowl? Pats or Eagles?"
"Well, I don't even watch football, but I just know that I don't want the Patriots to win."

I heard the above interaction countless times leading up to the 2018 Super Bowl. I understand not wanting a team to win because it's not your home team, but I do not understand people's need to root against the Patriots. Whether you like the Patriots or not, you cannot deny that they have created an iconic football dynasty.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has gone down in history for his amazing accomplishments in his years of playing. The Super Bowl should be about celebrating the greatness of the game and celebrating these accomplished teams and players, and not about hating teams because of the extraordinary empire they have worked tirelessly to build.

In no way am I hating on any other team's fans, but make sure when you are supporting a team that you are supporting them, and are not just rooting for another team because you "hate the Patriots."

The Patriots earned their way to be where they are today and as a true football fan, you should respect that.

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.
