Everyone has issues while they're gaming. Just like our real lives, gaming has struggles of its own that we have to deal with. These are 10 reasons on why most gamers struggle while trying to enjoy their favorite video games.

1. Sleep is non-existent

"I can't go with a loss, I'm on a win-streak here, " said the boy deprived 10 hours of sleep.

Once you're hooked on a game, there's no going back, and that's a fact.

2. Not enough time

This is a struggle you can’t fix. Gaming will mostly be a hobby and that’s it.

Gaming requires time, and sometimes you simply just don’t have the time to play.

3. Having no money

This will probably be an eternal struggle until your rich. You literally want to buy every game you've had on your list but you're broke.

What do you do? Simple. Just cry.

4. To go out or not?


It's a Friday night and you're playing FIFA and your friend texts you to go out, what do you do?

Easy. Ignore the call. Keep on playing the game.

5. Slow internet

One of the worst things that can happen is having a bad connection a.k.a Lag. Or getting a glitch in a game. WHY. MUST. THIS. HAPPEN.

6. Too much stress

From eye strains, to sore thumbs and even crying at times. Video games can definitely stress your life out.

7. Disappointment in games

You saw the trailer, got hyped, waited until that day to buy the video game until you actually play it and realize it's garbage. Everyone's had this feeling, it's alright man, chin up.

8. Rage Quit

There's no shame in losing a game, as well as there's also no shame in wanting to smash your controller into tiny pieces.

9. Difficulty levels

From easy to difficult, there's a lot of times where you just look at the TV screen and say: wow, is it really that easy? Or why is it so freaking hard?

10. PC vs. Console Debates

First of all, why is this even a debate? Just respect each other, play your games and get OVER IT. FFS

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.
