As a Patriots fan, I gotta admit that this mightve been one of the craziest games ever. It seemed like the Baltimore Ravens were going to have a long night after the Patriots were winning 23-3 but I knew in my mind that you have to play 'til the end against the Ravens and the Patriots eventually pulled this game out with a 30-23 victory.

Coming into this game, the Ravens had arguably one of the top 5 defenses in the NFL and were number one in stopping the run. The Patriots' gameplan in that first half is stop the high powered Ravens led by Quarterback Joe Flacco who did finish throwing two touchdowns: one to Tight End Darren Waller and running back Kenneth Dixon. After the Patriots took a 16-3 lead at half, Patriots QB Tom Brady threw an 18 yard touchdown pass to tight end Martellus Bennett which looked to be a complete blowout. Then the struggles came with the special teams as on back to back fumbles gave the Ravens some life. However, Tom Brady's pass to Chris Hogan was the dagger in the Ravens' comeback hopes. This was not only a great game to watch as a Pats fan, but the Monday Night Football ratings of viewers watching that game went higher. As the end of the Holiday season approaches, the Patriots seem to be playing well at both offense and defense.

Good luck to the Patriots and the rest of their season. Hopefully, they'll be looking forward to holding the Lombardi Trophy come Febuary, but let's not look too far away from there. Every step forward counts and with many teams in contention such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs, the road to the Super Bowl won't be as easy as people might think.

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.

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.
