Video games are super fun to play, especially with your friends. There was nothing better than trying to beat your friends at your favorite game and then getting to call yourself the "master."

If your parents also happened to influence your video game collection, then here's a list of video games that will make you want to get your hands on an old game consul and play immediately.

1. Pacman


The OG videogame to rule them all. There's nothing better than being able to clear the screen of all the white dots with "Pacman" and kicking butts against the ghosts.

2. Space Invaders

Long before the movie, "Alien," we were defending the Earth from "Space Invaders." We couldn't take too long though as the rows of Invaders would slowly but surely fly downwards to attack us.

3. Super Mario Bros


Favorite. Game. Of. All. Time. "The Super Mario Bros." game was the greatest because it all had different worlds to conquer, coins to collect, and little mushroom dudes to destroy. And don't forget how many times we had to save the Princess!

4. Donkey Kong


The OG of the jungle was Donkey Kong. He sits on his mighty thrown and tosses barrels down the slopes for Mario to trip over less he save the Princess once again. But what a good feeling it was to destroy him and make it all the way to the top!

5. Frogger


Instead of asking, "why did the chicken cross the road?," we should have been asking, "why did Frogger cross the road?" Obviously to get to the other side and not be run over by several cars.

6. Q*bert


Definitely one of the weirdest games to come out Atari and definitely the most challenging. We were never sure why but little Q*bert had to jump on all the boxes to make them change color in order to win the game, all the while avoiding the little springy snakes.

7. Zelda


"Zelda" is one video game everyone knows and how fun it was (and still is, but with way better graphics). Full of adventure and wistfulness, there was no stopping once you started playing this game.

8. Dig Dug


Digging your way through the layers of dirt to rid yourself of all the weird little monsters running around in the roots was always entertaining. Especially since the music only played while your character was moving and also stopped when you did.

9. Duck Hunt


If you loved dogs and loved to shoot guns but didn't have either in real life, this was the game to play. Shooting ducks out of the sky was always fun to see how good your aim was.

10. Breakout

Even though this game was essentially "Ping Pong" but just playing it by yourself with cool colored blocks to hit, the most frustrating part was when the little ball wouldn't go in quite the right spot to get the last block. But how satisfying it was when it did!

11. Pitfall


Move over Donkey Kong, the new king of the jungle has arrived! While trying not to fall in the pits, jump over rolling barrels, sliding past snakes, and risking getting bitten by jumping on the alligator heads, it was one crazy adventure in this game.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
