Eagles Vs. Patriots Through The Eyes Of An Outcast

Eagles Vs. Patriots Through The Eyes Of An Outcast
Mia Barbera

American football is one of the most watched sports in the U.S. Each fan has their own team that they are passionate about. The Super Bowl every year brings in thousands upon thousands of viewers, whether it is just for the halftime show, which is being performed by Justin Timberlake this year, or for the game itself. The Patriots are in the Super Bowl once again, playing the Philadelphia Eagles. I am a Philly fan currently attending school in New England territory.

Now, I am a very proud Eagles fan. I am sure that all other Philly fans can agree that this is the best chance we have at winning our first ring that we've had in a while...Possibly ever.

Yet, being a Philly fan in Pats territory is a difficult situation that I am sure others agree with. My sister had the same issue as she went to school in Massachusetts and had to live four years of being made fun of every time Philly lost, or just the fact that she was an outcast.

Luckily, I have gotten used to being an outcast, and being made fun of for who I root for. I mean, I live in Giants and Jets territory, so anytime I attend a game at Metlife Stadium, Giants fans always have choice words for me.

So, while I may not fit in here, with the few other Philly fans that attend this school, luckily I already know what it feels like to be an outcast. But as any proud fan of their team, a head will always be held high no matter the outcome, as well as a few tears that might be shed.

We are underdogs, and I have a good feeling that we will fly high.

To all my other Eagles fans out there, Go Birds!

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.

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.
