When You Play 'Cards Against Humanity' At Camp, Don't Google What You Don't Understand

Ignorance is bliss.

Cards Against Humanity is one of my favorite games, not only because it is psychologically revealing (As in finding out your friends have darker or dirtier minds than you thought), but it can give you plenty of stories to tell. Once such funny anecdote stemmed from the ignorance of the definition of "Pixelated Bukkake."

Every year at Theater Camp, after the dress rehearsal, there's about three hours of break time before the show to gather our nerves and of course, eat. Usually, we're shown a movie, however, that year, someone brought Cards Against Humanity. Those of us who didn't want to watch the movie went backstage to play.

The exact details of that one game are a blur to me. For a few minutes, we were playing, laughing at the responses, probably screaming "Why would you say that?!?!" to the darker responses...

Eventually, someone played the infamous "Pixelated Bukkake" card. I don't remember if that one won the round or not, but all hell broke loose the moment someone asked, "What's that mean."

Now, keep in mind, everyone there was in high school, had the internet, and seemed aware of the other less-than-appropriate cards. That one person's ignorance of what that was let out a chorus of "Um's," "Uh's," and "You don't wanna know's." However, that person was bent on finding out what it was. "I'm googling it," she said. The rest of the group did their best to stop her, but it was too late. The look on her face, and the "Oh... That's what it is" said it all. Luckily, she seemed over it afterward, and it didn't affect her performance.

The moral of this story? If you must allow innocent people to play Cards Against Humanity, never allow them access to Google.

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.
