Superbowl 50: What Happened?

Superbowl 50: What Happened?

In the midst of the excitement brewing, positively, we see that big day for football was going to bring extreme hype to the day. Who would have thought the Carolina Panthers would have been so dominant throughout the whole season, impressing me game after game. Going into the Super Bowl, I felt no reason why Cam Newton and crew was going to come out with a victory.

The start of the game was slow, as we saw the Panthers win the coin toss to overturn for possession at the half. The Broncos drove down the field like they were determined to get the job done. The defense was tough enough to settle them to a three, but this start worried me. That all died down when I seen the Panthers offense came onto the field, this was it I thought, unstoppable at its finest. When the Panthers was forced to punt on their first drive the whole playoffs, I knew something would be off this game.

At half, I'm mentally sweating, it's 7-13 and the Panthers are playing antsy. Broncos aren't being tremendous but their defense is harmful. My confidence rejoices after the halftime performance. Which brings up a question whether or not the performances are prerecorded, but that's for another time. The Panthers receive the ball and the comeback ensues, or at least I hoped. They don't score until the fourth quarter, which only ends being a field goal. The Broncos scored in the third which makes the score 16-10. Although the play for the Panthers has been atrocious, we still have a chance to win. This is the time we been waiting on, make up for all the lack of play the other three-quarters and finish it here. Cam Newton was pressured by their defense too heavily, causing a forced fumble for a touchdown and an interception. Denver manages to score once more to end the 23-10. One word can explain the game, inexperience. Peyton Manning and the Broncos are sailing off into the sunset for a fairy tale ending; The Panthers will be back though and I already know the outcome will be different.

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.
