Ridiculously Fun Games For Summer

For college students, summer can get quite boring without the usual busy weeks and party laden weekends. If you're stuck trying to think of something fun to do with your friends on a long, hot summer night, here are some ideas!

1. Slip and Slide Flip Cup

Combining your favorite childhood summer activity with an adult favorite, Slip and Slide Flip Cup is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. To play, simply set up a Slip and Slide (can be store bought or a tarp coated with dish soap and water) and then set up a Flip Cup table at the end of the tarp. Assemble to teams in front of two (or one giant) Slip and Slide mats, take turns slipping and sliding down the tarp then stand up quickly, chug your beer, flip your cup, and run back to the end of the line, tagging in the next player.

2. Human Hungry Hungry Hippo

To play this legendary game, find a large space that would be easy for wheels to roll on (a basketball court seems to be the best option). Place some small-ish colorful balls in the middle of the floor. Each team should consist of two players. One player lays belly down on a scooter (the flat kind from elementary school gym) or a skateboard and hold a rectangular laundry basket. The other player holds the player on the scooter's feet and acts as the navigator. When the ref says "go" each team tries to capture as many balls from the middle in his or her basket and then stashes those balls in their designated corner of the room. At the end, each team's balls are counted and the team with the most balls wins.

3. BRU-BAG

A charming mixture of beer pong and cornhole. Need I say more?

4. Water Balloon Dodgeball

It's dodgeball... with water balloons. What could be better on a hot summer's day? Bonus: Turn it into a drinking game by establishing a rule that says that any player hit by a balloon can get back in the game by chugging a beer.

5. Giant Beer Pong

Beer Pong using trash cans and large balls. Bigger is always better, right?

Don't waste your summer sitting around being bored. Grab some friends, get out, and try some of these ridiculously fun games!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
