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.

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.

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.
