6 Drinking Games That Are Safe To Play With Parents

The season of Parents Weekend is upon us once again. Many of us have seen the numerous pictures posted by college accounts of parents at tailgates, immersing themselves in our college culture-and for that Moms and Dads, we applaud you. The world has its fair share of drinking games, but when it comes to drinking games that are appropriate to play with the people who raised us, we're sure to hit more than a few duds. So to save everyone some precious time, I've put together a list of games that allow everyone to ~rage with some respect~.


First thing's first-the classics.

Beer Pong

It's a no brainer. Think about it like the grown up version of playing h-o-r-s-e with your family. Plus, it's a solid way to get a little friendly competition started. If you don't know how to play, it's about time you do. The rules are simple, and you can get a full list of them here.

Flip Cup

Flip Cup is another classic that's bringing home the gold in the realm of family friendly drinking games. It brings out the competitive edge in everyone, and really there's nothing like trying to down beer faster than your dad, and cheering on your mom while she frantically tries to flip a solo cup on the dining room table. If you're a little blurry on the rules, you can double check them here.


Quarters

Quarters is similar to flip cup in that it has the same sense of urgency and it can be just as frustrating. On the upside, you can prove to your siblings that just because you weren't athletic growing up, doesn't mean that you can't totally own them when it comes to getting a quarter in a cup. There's a few different ways to play the game, pick your poison here.


Next, the more complicated games.

Waterfall

Waterfall is a game of chance, and every card you pick is sure to be promising in adding to the atmosphere this game creates. Each card is assigned a certain rule or task, but you can adjust them to what ever you prefer. You can check one version of the rules out here.


Ride the Bus

No, not the same bus you used to roll up in to middle school, this one is much more fun. The rules seem more complicated than they really are, but once you get the hang of them you'll be ready to play all night.


Presidents and A$$holes

This one is golden. The player's ranking is determined by how quickly they can use all of their cards. President is the highest and I'm sure you can figure out what the lowest is. Whoever is in a higher ranking than you can boss you around AKA it's your time to get revenge on your siblings for all the things they did to bully you growing up. Don't delay playing this game any longer.


Family game nights just got taken to a new level.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
