College is all about the parties, having a good time, being young, and doing stupid things right? Eh. Sort of. Not really, though. There is so much more to college than anyone could expect their first year. Even when you become a senior, there are still surprises around every corner. Everyone thinks the only games and the best games to play in college involve alcohol like beer pong, slap the bag, kings, or quarters; but that isn't really true at all. Here is a list of all the games you play in college that don't involve parties or booze.
1.) The Procrastination Game
This game is really simple! All you have to do is wait as long as you can to do your paper. Depending on the length of the paper and how long you procrastinate determines how well you do. The goal is to procrastinate longer than your previous time on a larger assignment! This is very invigorating!
2.) The Pasta Challenge
With little money in the bank account and the need to eat, students tend to resort to pasta. How many different ways can you make pasta with five ingredients? That's the game! How long can you go before you're sick of the noodles!
3.) The Money Game
Who can make five dollars go the furthest? Let's find out!
4.) Grades on Grades
Play ball with the professors and see if you can score an A! This game is particularly challenging because each professor provides their own unique set of rules and deciphering them is the hardest part!
5.) Registration Showdown
Everyone in your major needs this one class to graduate. There is only one section. There are 55 of you trying to register for the class, but there are only 45 seats. You all register at the same time. Who has the fastest Wi-Fi? Who will have to stay an extra semester? Fight!
6.) On Time Race
Can you make it to class on time after a nice nap? You get marked absent even if you are just late. Make across campus before the clock strikes three!
7.) Presentation Showcase
You talk in front of the class on a topic you learned from reading page after page last night, but can you do it without any "ums" or pauses? Don't worry, everyone is judging their presentation against yours and you are doing the same thing. Be ready for the impossible questions at the end from your professor in the back. This is where we see what each student is made of!
8.) The Cookie Fight
Food fights are for the days when you knew you had another meal coming your way that day. Now, it's all about the cookie fight! There is only one cookie left in the dining hall. You see. The enemy sees it. Eye contact is made and the fight for this last cookie begins! Will you get desert or leave empty handed?
9.) Swiper No Swiping
Ordering food on your phone through an app to pick up when it's done is a luxury especially if it means twenty more minutes of lying down. However, there are always those greedy f*&$kers that ran out of meals and are now on the prowl to swipe someone else's order. Lurking in the shadows, you have to get to the food location and stop the swipers from swiping your food!
10.) The Fake Fuzz Battle
Campus security loves to hand out parking tickets to the poor college students that are already paying to come to school. Mission: park somewhere you aren't supposed to and get away with it! This is a mastered craft and typically takes many failures before you succeed. If you get caught then stage two of this game is initiated: fight the ticket! You deploy literary tactics you learned in your first year writing class like appealing to ethos, pathos, and logos to win the appeal with usually no prevail! Good try and better luck next time!
11.) The Final Stand
This is the make-it or break-it game.There is a week left of the semester and there is still 60% of your grade to be determined. How is that possible? No one knows, but that's how it is and everyone is feeling the pressure. You fight for a spot in the library near an outlet against other students, argue with the jammed printed, complain to your computer for being too slow, and cuss out your professors along the way. Will you finish all of your work? Will you be ready for your finals? Will you hold your final stand or crumble like the city of Troy?
