As a child, board games were our life. We wanted to play them every night with our family and friends. Almost every birthday party or family event you went to had a board game. You'd think that we'd be sick of them after awhile, but that just wasn't possible. Even to this day, we get excited when someone mentions board games - especially if it's on your top 10 list! Here are some of the best board games that millennials played and came to fall in love with! Did yours make the list?

1. Monopoly


This game seemed like it would never end, but you didn't want to quit until you had all of the properties or a hotel on everything!

2. Candy Land

Princess Lolly, Queen Frostine, Lord Licorice, King Kandy, Plumpy, Jolly, Gloppy, Gramma Nutt -- We all had one character we loved the most!

3. Uno

Reverse. Skip. Reverse. Draw two. Draw four. Sorry, not sorry!

4. Connect Four

There was always that one spot you wanted, but your opponent always took it!

5. Battleship

You were extra cool if you had the electronic version!

6. Sorry

"I know you're almost to the safe zone, but I want your spot, so I'm knocking you back to start!"

7. The Game of Life

Not only did you want the best job, the best house, and the most money, but you hoped that that would be your future too.

8. Guess Who?

"Does your person have brown hair?" No. "Glasses?" No. "A hat?" Yes!

9. Chutes and Ladders

You loved the tallest ladder, but hated the longest slide.

10. Pictionary

"Is that a tree? A house? A tree on top of the house?"

11. Don't Wake Daddy!

Even as you got older, the dad still makes you jump!


No matter how old we are, we'll always love these games. How many of you would actually turn down a game of Uno if your friends asked? Not many! So grab your friends, get some board games, and bring back some memories! (Maybe you'll make a few new ones too!)

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
