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.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
