Party games are something we are familiar with. Whether it's playing beer pong at the massive ragers or playing Catan at a small hangout with close friends, games are parties just seem to mix well. The impairing effect of alcohol makes most of us worst and allows for some hilarious moments, whereas some people turn into pong gods after one drop of alcohol. Here is a list of games you might want to consider whipping out at the next party you're at and have people proclaiming you as "The Party Game King."

1. The Jackbox Party Pack 3

This is a steam game that will have you and all your friends in uproarious laughter. It's a very simple concept. Everyone signs in to the game on their phones and then plays along through a variety of games that pit you against each other. The game doesn't take itself too seriously and has a tongue-in-cheek demeanor that only makes it more endearing. The games range from trivia (with fun mini games), a percentage guessing game (where someone will get accused of cheating), a catchphrase like game where you finish sentences and come up with new names for wacky things, a t-shirt designing game (the best one by far), and a game where everyone is asked a question but one person and you all have to determine who the "faker" is by everyone's answers. These games can be as clean or as dirty as you want them to be and the content is almost entirely generated by the players. Things will inevitably get wackier and dirtier as more alcohol enters the situation and your sides WILL be hurting after you're done with this one. The game also can accompany 8 main players and some audience slots for select games so it can allow lots of people to play at once.



2. Rock Band

Singing and drinking are great combinations, because alcohol makes us sing better right? Why not add some fake instruments into the mix and you have a great party game. The number of people that can play at once is a bit more limited but turns are only a few minutes long and people can rotate out. On top of that, spectators can easily sing along and probably laugh along as people inevitably make fools of themselves for trying to hit the high notes in Bohemian Rhapsody on the mic or as the guitarist completely fails the epic guitar solo from "Crazy Train". People will be begging for you to bring this one again.



3. Mortal Kombat or any fighting game tbh

Whip out your favorite fighting game and some controllers and people are bound to be heated. People will crawl out of the wood works to prove their prowess in these digital battle arenas. The great thing about fighting games are that even the seasoned experts can get beat out by that button-mashing newbie, especially as more and more alcohol enter the mix. Every single landed combo will be met with the roar from the spectators as they get all riled up to take on the reigning champ themselves.


These are just some of my picks that always liven up my parties and my friends love them. What are some of your favorite party games? Let me know how these work out if you give them a shot!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
