As we are all locked down in our homes for quarantine, the realization that we really don't have much to do in our homes is hitting us in the face. This has caused a lot of people to take up new hobbies and even start buying video game systems like the Nintendo Switch.

But if you're a non-gamer, figuring out which games to buy can be a challenge.

Here are eight games for the Switch that every non-gamer can break into with ease and fall in love with:

1. "Animal Crossing: New Horizons"

This game quickly became a viral sensation on Twitter after its release as it was released during quarantine.

You don't need to be an expert gamer, but "Animal Crossing" gives you the chance to manage your own island, build houses, bring animals to your islands as residents, and even meet up with your friends on their island in the online mode.

All in all, this game is an amazing way of staying connected with friends and relaxing after a long day.

2. "Super Mario Odyssey"

The Mario franchise is classic. This game is no exception. Just another addition to an already classic franchise. But a game anyone can break into with little to no effort.

3. "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe"

If you enjoy racing games, "Mario Kart" is going to be your new favorite game.

4. "Splatoon 2"

If you're looking for an engaging third-person shooter that's not violent and actually silly, pick up "Splatoon 2." In this game, you play with a team and shoot ink on and against your rivals. It's enjoyable, fast-paced, and super easy to break into.

5. "Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu!"

Ever wanted to be Ash Ketchum and get your own Pikachu? This remake of the original Pokémon games starts you off with your own Pikachu as you go on your adventure challenging gym leaders and facing Jesse and James of Team Rocket.

A simple and classic game that anyone can break into.

6. "Super Mario Party"

"Super Mario Party" is a game you can play solo or with friends and family. It's a board-game-type game that makes you solve puzzles and play mini-games in a race to the finish.

7. "Untitled Goose Game"

This game became an indie sensation. But it's exactly what it looks like. You're a goose and you get to be a goose. What else can you really say?

8. "Oxenfree"

This game is like a mashup of "Riverdale" and "Stranger Things" put into video game form.

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.
