This past Sunday was certainly one for the books! The Philadelphia Eagles won their first ever Super Bowl against the reigning New England Patriots. But there are so many moments to remember from this year’s Super Bowl aside from the stunning victory by the Eagles!

Best: The commercials.

I don’t know about y’all, but I had the time of my life watching this year’s Super Bowl commercials. (See what I did there?) As always the commercials never disappoint, unless it’s Pepsi. My personal favorite was the Fire & Ice commercial featuring Peter Dinklage and Morgan Freeman, two legendary actors lip-syncing to a song I don’t know the name of but still enjoyed because of their excellent minute-long performance! (I re-watched the commercial and saw that Morgan Freeman was lip-syncing Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On".) E-Trade’s commercial was a very close second because nothing’s funnier than seeing a ninety-year-old man wielding a firehose and spiraling out of control from it! Also, I want my grandmother to take up DJ-ing after seeing that commercial! The only time I was left scratching my head at a commercial was (if I remember correctly) the Diet Coke commercial, with the girl dancing in an awkward and very unenthusiastic manner. Just what exactly was happening there? I already don’t like Diet Coke, and I really don’t want to get into it after seeing this commercial. Regardless of the misstep, the “Time of My Life” dance definitely topped the night off!

Worst: The Halftime Show.

Personally, I thought this year’s halftime show was so underwhelming. What exactly was going on? It just seemed to be a mishmash of well-coordinated dancing, a forgettable “tribute” to Prince, and a teenager who could not for the life of him stay off his phone. At least he can say he got a selfie with Justin Timberlake. In hindsight, this might have been the most entertaining part of the show, certainly more so than the pitiful attempt to bring Prince back to life. I get that it was his hometown of Minneapolis, but as an avid Prince fan, it did next to no justice to the late singer.

Worst: Kylie Jenner.

What does Kylie Jenner have to do with the Super Bowl? After the big Eagles win, I received an urgent message from my Odyssey GroupMe saying Kylie Jenner gave birth to a baby girl. (Congratulations, by the way, Kylie! I'm happy you gave birth to a healthy baby!) I couldn't help but ask myself "Why now?" Why wait until the Super Bowl, two days after she gave birth, to announce that she had a child and another two days to tell the world her name? Why not announce it the day of?

Best/Worst: The Eagles' Win.

Depending on whether you hate the Patriots or not, this was either the best or worst day in sports history. This was the very first Super Bowl win for the Philadelphia Eagles, and it was such a magical moment from some people took a very rowdy approach to celebrating the victory... like the denizens of Philadelphia. I called my mother after the big win, and she was legit crying tears of joy, since she has been a die-hard Eagles fan since she was in her teens.

Best: Tide.

After a questionable trend of people eating laundry detergent, Tide is still giving itself a good name by revolutionizing advertisements. For all you know, this article could be an ad for Tide! Or is it...?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
