There are so many things to do on the weekends. Homework, laundry, binge watching Netflix, going out, but sometimes there is really just nothing that seems fun (or you just want to procrastinate your homework) and you need something to do. Well, grab a group of friends and have a blast with these classic games.

1. Monopoly

I really do not think that the most classic board game of all time needs an explanation as to why it is in this list.

2. Mao

Mao is a super fun card game to play with a big or small group of people. The mystery of the game makes it so suspenseful and is even more exciting when someone who has never played decides to give it a try.

3. Cards Against Humanity

This game is great to play with your friends and everyone can have fun because every play is funny.

4. Chess/Checkers

If you want a big group of people to surround you, chess is the game to play. I do not understand what draws in the numbers, but people love to crowd around to watch a game of chess.

5. Yahtzee

No, this game is not just for you to play with your grandmother. Everyone knows the exhilarating feeling when you get a YAHTZEE!

6. Candy Land

Yes, this game is from your childhood. No, playing it does not make you a child. Yes, it is still fun as a college student.

7. Clue

Want a mystery game to make you think? Playing Clue gets everyone involved thinking about who-done-it and makes for a fun game night.

8. Parchessi

Most people do not know what this game is, but I promise it is amazing. It is like a version of Sorry, but way more intense.

9. Phase 10

Another classic card game, Phase 10 can break or make friendships with who you chose to skip.

10. Battleship

Finally, Battleship. A great game of strategy (and some guessing skills) that literally anyone can play.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
