27 Things I'd Rather Do Than Play An LJN Video Game

Cinemassacre / YouTube

Ah, yes, LJN Ltd. I’m sure a lot of people who were gamers in the 1980s to 1990s are very familiar with this infamous video game company that was notorious for making terrible games in that time period.

A lot of my knowledge of LJN comes from The Angry Video Game Nerd on YouTube. As he likes to refer to them as “Laughing Joking Numbnuts,” he has demonstrated on his channel just how terrible these games are.

If I had to choose, I would much rather do the following than EVER play an LJN video game.

1. Be late for class looking for a parking spot

2. Do a group project in class

3. Have my name spelled “Johannah” instead of “Johanna”

4. Listen to a toddler scream at Wal-Mart for five minutes

5. Listen to “It’s Everyday Bro” by Jake Paul on repeat for days straight

6. Get literal coal for Christmas

7. Relive high school all over again

8. Hear “Leon Heeeeelllllllppppppp!” While playing "Resident Evil 4" nonstop on a continuous loop during the entire game.

9. Play HongKong ‘97.

10. Wait in line at the financial aid office

11. Have my favorite show/movie removed from Netflix

12. Hear that Net Neutrality being repealed was actually a joke and it’s still safe.

13. Get a message from my ex at two in the morning

14. Listen to Mike Tyson rap.

15. Read an uninteresting or unfulfilling book

16. Clean my cats’ litter box

17. Watch the Netflix version of “Death Note”

18. Cancel my Apple Music Membership

19. Stub my toe.

20. Watch cringey BuzzFeed videos.

21. Shatter my iPhone screen.

22. Order chicken nuggets in the drive through but get a fish sandwich instead

23. Take an awkward family photo for a Christmas card

24. Have my coffee knocked over by one of my cats

25. Have no coffee at all

26. Go on an awkward Tinder date

27. Lose all my Instagram and Twitter followers and all my Snapchat streaks.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
