I'm a Pats fan and proud!

A Patriots Fan's Reaction To Super Bowl LI
NE Patriots Life

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 34 – ATLANTA FALCONS 28.

Some people thought that it was a miracle, but never for a moment did I doubt that the Patriots would win. Tom Brady has now solidified his place as the greatest quarterback in football history, as has the Bill Belichick/Brady/Robert Kraft partnership. Super Bowl LI was an unbelievable game with many firsts — the first Super Bowl to go into overtime, the first time a team has overcome a deficit of more than 10 points to win, the first time a quarterback has won five Super Bowls. I could go on, but I won’t. It is truly one for the books. After a disappointingly slow Patriots start, football fans were on the edge of their seats in the fourth quarter and through overtime as the Patriots orchestrated the greatest comeback in NFL history. Even though many New England fans at Fairfield were nervous for the outcome of the game, they were able to celebrate afterward with their friends. There was never a Super Bowl like this year's game and I don't say that just because I am a huge fan of the New England Patriots!

There was a great deal of energy and excitement among those watching the Super Bowl and with only 27 percent of the people in the country rooting for the Patriots, I couldn’t assume that those around me were New England Patriot fans.

At Fairfield, many students supported the Atlanta Falcons because they are sick and tired of the Patriots winning all the time — sounds like they're a little jealous to me —, but deep down inside, I think that they have a lot of respect for Brady, Belichick and the entire Patriots team. It’s hard not to. They taught us some great life lessons about the importance of perseverance, teamwork and class. I, for one, am proud to be a fan. Thank you, Tom Brady and New England Patriots for the incredible game! Your fans adore you, stand behind you and are still celebrating!

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.
