As the Philadelphia Eagles became one of only four teams to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, the city erupted in a blaze of joy and pride. On February 4th, the Eagles won their first-ever NFL championship, thanks to the efforts of backup quarterback Nick Foles and his squad.

The Eagles played an impressive game against the Patriots during the Super Bowl as they took the term "underdogs" to a whole new level. Nick Foles looked as confident as ever on the field, racking up 373 passing yards, three touchdowns, an interception, and a 106.1 passer rating.

Tom Brady was also a genius in the game, with 505 yards himself; but Nick Foles one-upped him while he completed the same trick play that Brady was not able to catch.

The Philadelphian ambassador and hip-hop superstar, Meek Mill, said he was amazed as he watched his Eagles rock out to his hit song, "Dreams and Nightmares", before the big game, hours before they took the final victory.

As he watched the team dance and sing along to his track, he felt encouraged knowing injustice still mattered to people, and his voice is still being heard.

Meek Mill was sentenced to at least two years in prison for violating probation while driving his dirt bike on Instagram. Because of his heavy social media presence, he picked up reckless driving charges once the videos surfaced public media sources.After the big game, loyal Philadelphians took to the streets with posters, signs, and custom jerseys to support Meek Mill and peacefully protest for his release from prison. While Meek Mill's release from prison is most likely going to be postponed until 2019, the spirit of hopefulness is prevalent in his hometown of Philadelphia.

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.

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.

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.
