Double Dog App Resembles The Film "Nerve"

A newly released truth or dare app parallels the movie "Nerve" starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco.

The film depicts an online game that challenges people to a series of dares that start out innocent but immediately turn intense. The catch is that the players earn a cash reward per dare they complete.

The Double Dog app also allows users to dare each other to do anything they please, but the creators came up with a creative way to—hopefully—prevent people from pushing the boundaries too far.

The app has two forms of currency in exchange for delivering proof of dares: U.S. dollars and bones (clearly a dare that rewards five bones won't be as challenging—or embarrassing—as one that offers 20 bones or perhaps $20.

You can earn over 100 bones when you make an account to start you off. Although, if you reach zero bones than you have no choice but to perform dares offered to you in order to continue challenging others.

How the game works is that when a person dares you, you can either ignore the dare or blindly accept knowing nothing about it except how much you'll earn from it. However, if you're not comfortable with the dare you have the option to "double dare" the person back for twice the value the bones they offered. If the darer chickens out on the double dare they must pay you three times the amount of the initial offer.

When you complete a dare—via video or picture proof—the darer determines whether your proof is valid, otherwise they can contest it. Once the evidence is verified you earn your pay. If you share your proof with your followers—or everyone in the Double Dog community, depending on your privacy settings—you'll earn an additional three bones. You can also share via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, which will reward you another three bones per share.

In regard to dares, the app has hundreds of provided ones categorized into different groups: trending, charity (yup the app has philanthropic opportunities), selfie, silly, gross, karaoke, flirt (this one tends to cross the appropriate line), extreme, acting, set a record, as well as a few other categories. Of course, you always have the option to create your own dares, but if it's deemed inappropriate or dangerous it can be reported.

The Double Dog community is fairly small at the moment, since the app hasn't blown up like the Pokémon GO app has. It's hard to say if the app will gain popularity given its potential for sexual and violent controversy. Only time will tell.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
