The 22 Emotions Patriots Fans Had Watching Super Bowl 51

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.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
