Things Better Than Watching the Actual Super Bowl

Whether you are an NFL fan or not, Superbowl Sunday has something to offer everyone. Even if you are the friend who doesn't know who is playing, don't worry the football aspect is not that important.

Commercials. Things really don't get any better than Super Bowl commercials. Especially the Budweiser commercial with the puppy. Not only do the commercials bring a little humor to the tense atmosphere of your boyfriend and his friends screaming at the TV, but what would you talk about Monday morning without them? The commercials provide great advertisements for companies. For weeks after, fans will still be talking about the best and worst commercials of Super Bowl Sunday. Way to go, Budweiser, every girl can agree you win the best commercial of 2015 and it is not because we like your beer.

Food. This is the perfect day for you and your roommates to get domestic. It usually starts by searching Pinterest for hours, and trying to contact your mom to get the perfect recipe. Unfortunately, for most of us, the recipe never turns out like it looks on Pinterest. However, you can always count on the food table to have multiple dips including too much cheese, wings, and pigs in a blanket.

Procrastination. Face it. Sunday is the day you are supposed to waste away sleeping or studying to prepare for the week. We all have assignments due Monday, but because it is Super Bowl Sunday we get a free pass, right? At least that is what we are hoping for. Don't worry, if you are hungover or did not do your homework for Monday, I am sure you won't be the only one.

A reason to have a party on Sunday.

Who said Sunday cannot be the best day of the weekend? Most of the time, we spend our Sundays dreading the upcoming week full of studying, classes, and meetings. The Super Bowl is the only day of the year when it is acceptable to party on Sunday.

Whether you are watching the game, or just there to eat the food, take advantage of this Super Bowl Sunday.

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.
