Super Bowl LI: Who Will Come Out Victorious?
Pats Pulpit

In two weeks it's the biggest game in football history: The Super Bowl. A lot of history has been made in this game especially when it comes down to the clutch catches, field goals and not to mention the best teams in the league. You heard it here first: this is a year that will make history.

First off the Super Bowl game that was ever played was in 1967. Any guess on who played in the first game? I'll give you a hint they were both in this year's playoffs. The two teams were the Green Bay Packers, who were defeated pretty bad against the Falcons and the Kansas City Chiefs who were eliminated by the Steelers in a close one. This game would be the first of many in the now called NFL, because back then it was a championship game between the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL).

This year's Super Bowl is between neither of these teams. The two organizations playing for the Lombardi Trophy this year are the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. Both are very good teams and are ready for the battle to be named champions. The last time the Falcons were in the Super Bowl was back in 1999 in SB XXXIII. The Patriots last appearance was not too long ago as it was in 2015 when they beat the Seahawks.

This year's Super Bowl will be a great one. The Patriots who are one of the tougher teams in the league and the Falcons who are a young and rising powerhouse to play. The Patriots are a team that has had a lot of scrutiny as due to the deflate-gate, spy gate, and other problems. However, they are back to prove that they are able to win a Super Bowl without doing anything. As for the Falcons, this team with seven players from their defense having at most two seasons under their belt want to prove that they can win with inexperience.

Both teams are looking good as they both have very good quarterbacks and great players on both defense and offense. it's going to be a great game to watch as these two teams face each other on the gridiron. This quarterback matchup will be one for the ages. A quarterback who was drafted with the 199th pick and a quarterback who is searching for his first ring and giving his franchise their first ring as well.

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.

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.

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.
