On Sunday, we saw two teams get destroyed on national television. At 3:05 p.m. on Jan. 22 in the National Conference Championship game, the Atlanta Falcons demolished the Green Bay Packers in a 44-21 win and Atlanta moved onto Super Bowl 51. Atlanta's offense was on fire, quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 392 yards and four touchdowns and NO interceptions!

Ryan is having the season of his career and he heads to the Super Bowl.

As for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay's defense, they weren't even there the entire game. I say that because they just sucked. They couldn't really do much on offense, and defensively, they weren't there.Rodgers threw for 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Not the best game for him at all. For next season, the defense needs to improve because if they don't, I don't know what will happen to the Green Bay Packers franchise.

As for the American Conference Championship, at 6:40 p.m., we witnessed another blowout with the New England Patriots beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-17. Quarterback Tom Brady threw for 384 yards and three touchdowns, and no interceptions, just like Ryan. Brady looked great on the field and so did the defense. Defensive back Eric Rowe picked off quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to cap off the game in the fourth quarter. Brady is heading to his seventh Super Bowl appearance, the most of any quarterback in history.

For Pittsburgh, they need work. They need to work on their defense greatly because without improvement, they might end up not even going to the playoffs next year. On the subject of needing work, Roethlisberger is getting old. Granted, he's not as old as Brady, but he's getting up there and I don't know how much time he'll have left. Maybe next time, Pittsburgh won't stay in the same hotel that they stayed in because apparently the fire alarm was pulled.

.

On Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m., the final game of the National Football League will be in Houston, Texas as the Patriots face off against the Falcons. It will be the best of the best facing off in a matchup that no one predicted.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
