Superbowl

So like everyone else I was rooting the Giants on Superbowl Sunday. My suitemates and I went out an brought ridiculous amounts of snacks and then visited the Dominican lounge so we could get free pizza and wings. We spent the actual game sitting in our room. Something you should know about my roommate is that she is a die hard Giants fan so it was pretty eventful to watch her scream and freak out at the television when something happened. When the Giants won she decided to take a victory lap around our room. Our living room is always filled with various wires for our laptops and phone chargers. As she was taking this lap she tripped over one of the phone cords and fell face first into the small linoleum space that makes up our kitchen. She proceeded to scream and cheer about the Giants while her face was still on the floor. After the celebrations were over, Our friends and I spontaneously decided to go to New York City to celebrate with everyone that was there. So we rode the train into the city and walked to Times Square. Everyone was going nuts and screaming "GO GIANTS". People were giving everyone high fives and running around the streets doing absurd things. We actually ended up meeting my roommates older sister and her friends in the middle of Times Square. Her friends were running football plays in the streets during the red lights and were jumping into the piles of trash that fill the streets of New York. It was an unbelievable experience to see so much pride a city can have for their team.
