4 Scary Games You Can Play at Night

Remember being ten years old and trying to be cool around your friends at a sleepover when you suggested that you guys should try to conjure Bloody Mary or The Boogeyman, only to end up freaking out and calling your mom to take you home? Well, in honor of nostalgia, I've found some creepy games that you can play by yourself, or with friends, in case you still want to be cool or just love adrenaline rushes. WARNING: PLAY THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK. They have been ranked from least to most scary (according to me, anyway). Have fun!

1. Doors of Your Mind

This game seems harmless enough. All you really have to do is sit in a room by yourself, close your eyes, and imagine your mind as a corridor full of doorways. You choose which doors to open, but be careful - some doors can contain bad energies and trap you in them. I think this game is just scary because it allows you to go through every crevice of your mind, even ones that you wanted to keep away forever.

2. The Answer Man

Traditionally, this game is played with ten people. But not everyone knows ten people so I'm sure this game would work with any even number of people (that's 2, 4, 6, etc.). Each of you will need to call the person to your left - but you have to make sure you all hit the call button at the same time, or else the game will fail. If you all get a busy signal, the game is over. But, if one person doesn't receive a busy signal, then they get to talk to the Answer Man. They can ask the Answer Man any question they want, and the Answer Man will ask a question back that the person has to answer. This can last as long as the person wants, but when the call is at its end the person needs to tell the Answer Man that he has to go and keep being persistent. IF THE ANSWER MAN TRIES TO BRIBE THE CALLER WITH FREE INFORMATION, DO NOT STAY ON THE LINE.

3. Three Kings

In a dim-lit room, place two mirrors on two chairs facing each other, and a chair in between the two, facing one of the mirrors. The third chair is your throne, making you the king. One of the mirrors is your Queen and the other is your Fool. But remember, the game is called Three Kings, which means that you're a Fool to one of them, and a Queen to the other. The idea of this game is to reach the "Shadowside", whatever that is. Maybe it's just mediation, or maybe it's something a little darker. But maybe it's just your eyes playing tricks on you.

4. One Person Hide and Seek

I'm not sure why anyone would play this game, as it is the creepiest one I could find. This is a single player game, unless you count a doll/stuffed animal as a player. You set up a doll or stuffed animal somewhere and you have to find it. But after you find it, it has to find you. If it doesn't find you and you can avoid the doll/stuffed animal, you have to find it to end the game. Be warned though, you might not find the doll where you left it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
