Games nights can be fun at any age, whether you're playing them with your family, your floor, or just a group of friends. But if you've ended one too many friendships over a game of Monopoly, it may be time to find some new games to play. Here's a list of 8 tested-by-me games that all ages can enjoy to get you started:

1. Otrio


This game is tic-tac-toe on steroids. It's hard to keep up with the other 3 players because there are so many ways to get 3 in a row. You'll find yourself frustrated when your opponent sneaks past you to win.

2. Tension

Adults and kids go head-to-head in this game of categories.

3. Square Up

This is a fast-paced game of making your pattern before your partner does. Before you know it, a couple hours and a few dozen rounds will fly by.

4. Bananagrams

This game is perfect for any Words With Friends fans. You make your own Scrabble board with the letters you're given and keep building as you draw more letters. Plus, it's super portable to bring on trips or to a friend's.

5. Five Second Rule

It sounds super easy - just name 3 things that go with the category when it's your turn. But when you only have 5 seconds, the pressure comes down and you're bound to mess up, which makes for some great laughs.

6. Spot It

Your reaction time will be tested in this fast-paced game of matching. You may get mad at your friends as you fight over who said it first but it'll turn hours of playing.

7. Phase 10

Only play this game if you have all night because it takes a lot of focus and patience. I've been up until 5 am finishing this addictive card game.

8. Say Anything

This game will test how well you know your opponents and how well you think you know your opponents knowledge of your opponents. (Confused? Me too.) If you like Apples to Apples, you'll love Say Anything.

Next time you and your friends are bored, check out one of these games for a fun, competitive night!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
