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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
