1. It brings you closer to friends

Playing Dungeons and Dragons creates closer ties with you and your friends. Going through a dungeon with friends forces the group to collaborate with one another. Puzzling situations and problem solving help to bring people together.

2. Work on your math skills

Every circumstance in this game is governed by a roll of the die. As you continue playing, the numbers begin to make sense and calculations become easier. Dungeons and Dragons is able to get you to think about math when you didn't think you wanted to.

3. Show some creativity

If you're creating and dungeon and intend to be the dungeon master, you get to create a story entirely from scratch. If you're a player, you get to adapt to the story and make your own decisions in the most creative way possible. On both sides, imagination is key.

4. Adaptability/Critical thinking

Whether you're running the show or just along for the ride, the game will have you make some snap decisions. Playing Dungeons and Dragons is a great way to work on your quick thinking and analysis.

5. Become a better writer

As the dungeon master, you can write a story that fits perfectly to your Dungeons and Dragons group. As you continue to write dungeons, you will get better at writing with a purpose. Eventually, creativity will come naturally to you.

Dungeons and Dragons is a great way to show off these skills to yourself and your friend group. If you invite new people, you're sure to make a new friend and engage in jolly cooperation.

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.

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.
