The 22 Emotions Patriots Fans Had Watching Super Bowl 51

BGR

st off, if you missed the game, no matter who you were rooting for, you missed the best game in history. If you don't know what happened, the Patriots came back from a 25 point deficit to defeat the Falcons in overtime, to take home the Lombardi trophy. No team has ever come back from a deficit that large and won, especially in a Super Bowl. New England fans everywhere had mixed emotions all throughout the game. Here is an inside look at the reactions we all had:

1. Reading all the pre-game reports the week leading up to the game, and all of them saying the Patriots were going to loose.

2. The day of the game, making sure all your meals and snacks are perfect for the party.

3. Drooling over Luke Bryan during the national anthem.

4. Waiting to see if we were going to win the coin toss.

5. When the game finally kicked off.

6. Seeing Tom Brady take the field for the first time.

7. When no one scored during the first quarter.

8. But then you remember the Patriots have never scored in the first quarter of a Super Bowl.

9. When the Falcons scored their first touchdown.

10. But then the Patriots didn't score one...

11. And then the Falcons scored two more touchdowns, and we only had a field goal, making it 21-3 at the half.

12. But then we all got to take a break from the game and watch Lady Gaga absolutely slay her halftime performance.

13. And then, the Falcons scored yet another touchdown, making it 28-3.

14. But we all knew Brady was not going to lose this game.

15. When we finally scored a touchdown, but Gostkowski missed the extra point.

16. When the Patriots started to look like robots, and before you knew it the score was 28-20, and the sun started shining again.

17. When Edelman made the best catch in NFL history.

18. When we scored with 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter, forcing the game into overtime.

19. Winning the coin toss in overtime.

20. When White ran the ball into the end zone and we were officially... CHAMPIONS

21. Watching Goodell hand us the trophy after all the hate we got from him.

22. And finally, getting your 87 cent coffee at Dunks the next morning (because we all needed it).

So thank you, Patriots, for giving us something to believe in all the time.

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.

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.
