Even though the Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year, the week leading up to the Super Bowl and even Super Bowl Sunday can mean much more than just football. So, here is a list of what Super Bowl Sunday really means to the American people.

1. Parties

Whether it is a family party or a friends party, you are bound to end up at a watch party to watch the big game.

2. Food

If you are at a party without some killer snacks, you better get up and leave because you are at quite possibly the worst Super Bowl party ever.

3. Commercials

Can I get a "Dilly Dilly!"?? Even if you aren't in it for the game itself, at least you have the commercials. Second to the game, the commercials are all the talk the day following the Super Bowl.

4. Getting drunk on a Sunday

Not normal behavior, even for a kid in college, but this single Sunday of the year tends to be one of the only ones where a majority of the people are drunk on a Sunday.

5. The halftime show

In between the game and all of the commercials, there is the halftime show. The show is usually one of the highly promoted parts of the game and it is very often hit or miss with the people watching at home. It is either very impressing or absolutely awful. (Lets hope JT can impress rather than disappoint.)

6. And, Believe it or not, football

Despite everything else going on during Super Bowl Sunday, there is still a football game to be watched. No matter what team you cheer for, there is always a favorite to win the big game .

On that note, GO PATS! #SAFTB

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.
