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.

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.
