11 Ways To Anger Your Friends At Risk

Risk: The Game of Global Domination. Risk is a classic board game that has been destroying friendships since 1959. Unlike Monopoly, Risk is simpler in that you do not have to handle money; instead, you attack your peers on neighboring territories in search of conquering continents. This game involves a lot of strategy and alliances, all of which can be wrecked by other players. Here are some ways to destroy your friendships while playing Risk:

1. Backing out of an alliance too soon

Seriously? It has literally only been one round, and you’re going to destroy our alliance already? Cool.

2. All players ganging up on one player

This is probably me being a sore loser but nothing is more annoying than having four other players attacking you from all sides and all you have to do is roll the dice and watch your troops go out one by one (or two).

3. Rolling the dice all over the board

Were my pieces there and your pieces here?

4. Defender rolling one dice

Doesn’t it just make more sense to use both dice if you’re defending 30 pieces? I don’t have time for this.

5. Taking over one territory on my full continent

Nothing is more frustrating than taking away my bonus troops just for you to put one lonely troop on the territory you just stole from me.

6. Putting all your troops in Australia

There’s one way in and one way out. You can build a pretty large defense there and just rack in the troop bonus, but it annoys other players.

7. Getting a six on every dice roll

That just ruined my chances of winning.

8. Losing your territory to someone with half your troop size

I am just a really bad roller I guess.

9. Your friend is spread out throughout Asia

This is just a dumb idea 'cause then it's just easy to attack them, and then they get mad and throw a hissy fit.

10. Friends making up rules

No, you can’t attack my Venezuela from the Middle East.

11. Stalling the game

My mother is yelling at me to go home. Sorry mom, but I’ve dedicated three hours to this game, and I have to finish.

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.
