Back when Friday nights consisted of pizza deliveries, two liters of Dr. Pepper to the face and one too many Cheetos Puffs, we relied on board games as our primary source of entertainment.

If you recognize these 12 board games, chances are you're a millennial that went to middle school in the 2000s:

1. Monopoly

You're lying if you say you've finished a full game of monopoly in one sitting.

2. Scrabble

The ultimate brain teaser that made us feel like a mini cult of Einsteins.

3. Life


The game we played to envision all the possibilities our futures would entail.

4. Perfection

The start of all millennial anxiety.

5. Clue

Followed by a Clue movie night with all three endings.

6. Guess Who

Before diversity became well established.

7. Candyland

The only game that gave your sweet tooth a run for its money.

8. Connect Four


Where we all learned how to strategize.

9. Sorry!

The game of sweet revenge.

10. Trouble

The only game where there's trouble in the bubble.

11. Operation

Probably the most fun, most adrenalin seeking game.

12. Mouse Trap

Whatever you do, don't get caught!

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.
