Having an XX gene in the gaming world can be quite ... annoying.

10 Things Girls that Game Go Through
Martin Driver

As a female, the things I've been told over and over and over again are, at this point, just plain comical. If you are a male, please takes notes: No, I'm not making you a sandwich, no my boyfriend did not teach me, no, I will not add you.


1) Yes, I cannot tell you who was the character in Metroid's 1991's second boss' grandmother's dog name.

Why does knowing such specific details in games I'm trying to enjoy somehow dictates my level of skills? Just because I can't recall a minuscule detail doesn't mean I'm "not legit".... How does that even correlate?


2) You sound like a 12-year-old boy. Are you sure you're a girl?

No, my Y chromosome never activated. And unless I've been lying to myself, I think I know what is in my pants.


3) What size are your boobs?

This one always makes me laugh. Why? Are yours bigger?

4) *Dies once*

"Do you need help? Follow me, I'll protect you. You need to hid when this happens. You can't charge in like that! You need to aim high. Jum close to me here's ammo, I got you. Let me be your boyfriend."

Oh dear God.


5) "COD is the only game you own. LOL. You're an attention whore"

And if it was, what is it to you? I happen to like FPS. The amount of games I play and the amount of games I own is none of your business. Unless you wanna buy some games to add to my collection, you have no right to talk about what is on my shelf.


6) "Go Make me a sandwich"

Go fix my sink then.

Whenever I got told this, it makes me think what year does this dude think it is? And that he needs to update his joke book. I don't even find this offense, I just wanna help you find your way back to your common sense again.


7) How the males on the other side see me.



8)What I'm Really Doing.

I'm playing to relax after a stressful day. Don't add to what I'm trying to get rid off.


9) No GameStop sales rep, I know what I'm looking for, I know what it does. Yes, I'm sure I wanna get this...No, this is not for my boyfriend.

I hate when I walk into a Gamestop to get a new game, hard wear or just to ask a question and I feel all eyes on me. No, I'm not here because I'm with a male friend. I genuinely need to ask something/buy.


10) I am a Gamer Girl

No, I am not a gamer girl. I am gamer. I play games... Just because what is in our pants are different does not dictate anything. Calling me a "GamerGirl" indicates that there are distinct species of gamers...I happen to be good at some games, I happen to suck at other games. I'm a "n00b" in some games and I'm a beast at other games. Get used to it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
