4 Scary Games You Can Play at Night

Maybe it's just your eyes playing tricks on you, or maybe it's something else.

4 Scary Games You Can Play at Night

Remember being ten years old and trying to be cool around your friends at a sleepover when you suggested that you guys should try to conjure Bloody Mary or The Boogeyman, only to end up freaking out and calling your mom to take you home? Well, in honor of nostalgia, I've found some creepy games that you can play by yourself, or with friends, in case you still want to be cool or just love adrenaline rushes. WARNING: PLAY THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK. They have been ranked from least to most scary (according to me, anyway). Have fun!

1. Doors of Your Mind

This game seems harmless enough. All you really have to do is sit in a room by yourself, close your eyes, and imagine your mind as a corridor full of doorways. You choose which doors to open, but be careful - some doors can contain bad energies and trap you in them. I think this game is just scary because it allows you to go through every crevice of your mind, even ones that you wanted to keep away forever.

2. The Answer Man

Traditionally, this game is played with ten people. But not everyone knows ten people so I'm sure this game would work with any even number of people (that's 2, 4, 6, etc.). Each of you will need to call the person to your left - but you have to make sure you all hit the call button at the same time, or else the game will fail. If you all get a busy signal, the game is over. But, if one person doesn't receive a busy signal, then they get to talk to the Answer Man. They can ask the Answer Man any question they want, and the Answer Man will ask a question back that the person has to answer. This can last as long as the person wants, but when the call is at its end the person needs to tell the Answer Man that he has to go and keep being persistent. IF THE ANSWER MAN TRIES TO BRIBE THE CALLER WITH FREE INFORMATION, DO NOT STAY ON THE LINE.

3. Three Kings

In a dim-lit room, place two mirrors on two chairs facing each other, and a chair in between the two, facing one of the mirrors. The third chair is your throne, making you the king. One of the mirrors is your Queen and the other is your Fool. But remember, the game is called Three Kings, which means that you're a Fool to one of them, and a Queen to the other. The idea of this game is to reach the "Shadowside", whatever that is. Maybe it's just mediation, or maybe it's something a little darker. But maybe it's just your eyes playing tricks on you.

4. One Person Hide and Seek

I'm not sure why anyone would play this game, as it is the creepiest one I could find. This is a single player game, unless you count a doll/stuffed animal as a player. You set up a doll or stuffed animal somewhere and you have to find it. But after you find it, it has to find you. If it doesn't find you and you can avoid the doll/stuffed animal, you have to find it to end the game. Be warned though, you might not find the doll where you left it.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
