5 Board Games To Play With Friends
USAG- Humphreys

With the stress of school, most students just want to hang out with their friends and have some fun. Most people go out to a party, or to dinner, but college students don’t have a lot of money so what’s the best option for them? Staying in and hanging out with friends at home. Instead of watching a movie why not have a game night. Here are five games you should play with your friends:

1. The Game of Life




The classic game of going through the motions of life sounds dull but in reality when played with a group of friends it can actually turn into a fun time. For more fun create an advance set of rules and challenges that will occur when a player lands on specific spaces.



2. Cards Against Humanity





What’s game night without this gem of a game? It’s nothing but a boring night. The game has several different sets of rules and can be played with a large group of people. Remember the tagline of the game is "A Horrible Game For Horrible People" but in reality, you'll laugh so hard you'll be rolling on the floor.

3. Exploding Kittens



“A card game for people who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats.” No real kittens were harmed in the playing of this game. Exploding Kittens is the Most Backed Kickstarter, and Most Funded Game in Kickstarter history and it doesn’t disappoint. If you’re not sure about it just watch this video:




4. Jenga



Yes it’s the game with the blocks but what happens when there are several sets of them all with different rules? Pure madness. There’s a Donkey Kong version, Space Invaders, and Jenga Boom. Just pick one and play with friends, of course they’ll fall but it will be fun all in the same.


5. Twister



Yes, it sounds childish, but Twister is a fun way to break the ice between your friends. Especially the ones that don’t know each other very well.

Now that you have the games all you have to do is put together snacks or have everyone bring something they cooked themselves and some music and you’re set to have a fun night with your friends.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

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. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
