Being A Falcons Fans Is A Love/Hate Relationship During Football Season

We all remember February 5, 2017. I remember that day in infamy as well as every person who lives in the state of Georgia that watched SuperBowl 51 on TV or in real time in Houston. That fourth quarter was devastating and we didn't blame the Patriots, we were disappointed in our dirty birds for getting comfortable and celebrating too early before the game was even over. But we had hope that next year they would come back with a force to be reckoned with.

They didn't make it. They lost in the 2nd round of the Playoffs to the LA Rams. But we had faith that next year we would dominate next season and represent Atlanta in the Mercedes Benz Stadium.



But now it's October and we're 3-3 and the season isn't over until December. The thoughts of getting in the playoffs are up in the air right now because every week we get a different team playing. One week they don't know how to play defense, the next week we have an defense and offensive line that's awake during both halves of the game. We root for them Sunday and by the afternoon, we're cussing them out asking what the heck happened? Some people ask why we still think they have a chance. It's the same reason everyone else roots for their team, whether they're the reigning champs or the worst in the league. We stay loyal to a fault and keep the hope alive of having a championship trophy for our city.



So at this point, there's a 60/40 chance of us getting into the playoffs and to the superbowl but you know what, we're still going to celebrate because the city of Atlanta knows how to party and Super Bowl Weekend will definetely be lit.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
