When my family gathers together for the holidays, I always look forward to late nights where we laugh and play games together. In college, I tend to feel less homesick when my friends and I gather together for a game night. Although playing games like Cards Against Humanity can be fun, I enjoy playing games with my college friends that I can also play together with my family. So I wanted to share some games that are family-friendly but also really fun that you can play at your next college game night.

1. Exploding Kittens

You may love cats, but you won’t love being the unlucky player to draw the exploding kitten card. To avoid this unlucky fate, like in UNO you can play cards like a skip or attack card to try and force your friends to draw the exploding kitten instead.

2. One Night Ultimate Werewolf

Like the good old-fashioned game of Mafia, the goal of this game is to figure out who are the players with the role of Werewolf among the rest of the Village folk. This fun role-playing game includes an app that will guide you through the game.

3. Pie Face

As the name suggests, this game involves a mechanical arm that will throw whip cream in your face if you’re unlucky. This game is perfect to play with friends when you want to laugh at how silly you look with whip cream on your face. Make sure to take silly selfies together!

4. Speak Out

Just like Pie Face, this game will make you laugh at how silly you look and sound as you try to say phrases with a mouth guard in your mouth. According to Chris Pratt, this game is his mom's favorite.

5. Telestrations

This game combines good old-fashioned favorites Pictionary and Telephone. So the goal is to sketch out the written message so well that the next player can then guess the message, but like telephone, the messages become distorted into funny sayings as the game goes on.

6. Utter Nonsense

Similar to Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity, this game involves playing phrase cards in response to prompt cards. Utter Nonsense, however, is different because those prompt cards specify accents that you have to say those phrases in. Combining these silly accents with silly phrases creates absolutely ridiculous sayings that sound like utter nonsense.

7. Game of Things

Similar to Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity, the Game of Things involves responding to a prompt by writing your own responses. So feel free to have some fun and respond with inside jokes when playing with your friends! Even Ellen DeGeneres had fun playing with Martha Stewart, Miley Cyrus and Snoop Dogg.

8. Jackbox Games

Jackbox has a variety of different games that you can play with your friends on your phones from a laptop. Just like the Game of Things, they have a game called Quiplash where you respond to prompts on your phones. For each prompt, two people respond and their responses are then judged against each other for a winning Quiplash.

So have fun playing with your friends and family! Don't get too competitive though!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
