Living in Washington, D.C. has been a unique experience for me. The city is centered around politics and filled with people who want to make a difference not only for the United States, but for the world.

We’re approximately 12 weeks into the NFL season, and teams have played enough games to carve out their places in the league and assess their playoff prospects. NFL teams are broken up into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). At the end of the regular season, there are three rounds of playoffs before the Super Bowl. The first round is called the Wild Card Round. The top two seeds get an automatic bye; the 3rd seed plays the 6th seed, and the 4th and 5th seeds play each other. After those games, we move on to the Divisional Round, where the 1st seed team plays the lower-seed winner from the Wild Card Round, and the 2nd seed team plays the higher-seed team. After those two games, the two Divisional-Round winners move on to the conference championships. The winners of the AFC championship and the NFC championship compete in the Super Bowl.

Living in Washington, D.C. has been a unique experience for me. The city is centered around politics and filled with people who want to make a difference not only for the United States, but for the world. While leaving the comfort of Smith has been difficult for me, the experience has been undoubtedly worth it to study, work and live in this vibrant, politically charged city.
