Our Favorite Sunday

A game or a holiday?

Our Favorite Sunday
Maxim

Millions tune in to watch the most highly anticipated and most watched television event of the year. The anticipation. The suspense. I can barely wait, eager to participate in America's favorite Sunday of the year. Everyone get ready to put your favorite jersey on because it's almost here! The Super Bowl.

First, you wake up and put on your favorite jersey. You paint your face and put on those crazy neon socks or hat and get ready to go. Team spirit is a must for this epic game day.

Then you quickly go to the food store to buy balloons and you might as well buy some more nachos, wings, beer, burgers, chips, cookies and cakes because is there even such thing as one too many cakes with both teams customized in icing with a football stadium and an exquisite drawing of helmets and celebration?

You go back home and everyone comes over or you head to your friends or families houses and you start to argue over who will win. Some place bets, others just ramble on for hours.

The game starts. It is insane. So much hype. One of my favorite parts are the absolute best commercials that are crazy funny and awesome. Like last years absurdly awkward and hysterically funny "Puppy Monkey Baby" mountain dew commercial that made everyone fall to the floor laughing. In my opinion the commercials are probably the reason why there are so many viewers. How about that vintage throwback Coca-cola "Mean Joe Green" Pittsburgh Steelers commercial, come on what's not to like about that!?!?

You eat, have fun with friends, and basically spend the entire night yelling at the tv, thinking the refs can hear you when in your mind you know you're right and they made a bad call, and await to see the winner.

If your team won you probably sprint out of the house with pots and pans and noisemakers shouting and crying of joy. If your team lost you’ll be depressed for weeks and that’s just how it goes. It’s much more than just another Sunday night football game.

The beauty of the Super Bowl is that everyone participates and unites. No matter your age, even if you’re a baby, your parents dress you up in a cute little jersey and you sit and watch too. Everyone celebrates in the end, and there is so much leading up to it. There is something for everyone to enjoy from just eating good food (me) to actually watching the game.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
