There are so many things to do on the weekends. Homework, laundry, binge watching Netflix, going out, but sometimes there is really just nothing that seems fun (or you just want to procrastinate your homework) and you need something to do. Well, grab a group of friends and have a blast with these classic games.

1. Monopoly

I really do not think that the most classic board game of all time needs an explanation as to why it is in this list.

2. Mao

Mao is a super fun card game to play with a big or small group of people. The mystery of the game makes it so suspenseful and is even more exciting when someone who has never played decides to give it a try.

3. Cards Against Humanity

This game is great to play with your friends and everyone can have fun because every play is funny.

4. Chess/Checkers

If you want a big group of people to surround you, chess is the game to play. I do not understand what draws in the numbers, but people love to crowd around to watch a game of chess.

5. Yahtzee

No, this game is not just for you to play with your grandmother. Everyone knows the exhilarating feeling when you get a YAHTZEE!

6. Candy Land

Yes, this game is from your childhood. No, playing it does not make you a child. Yes, it is still fun as a college student.

7. Clue

Want a mystery game to make you think? Playing Clue gets everyone involved thinking about who-done-it and makes for a fun game night.

8. Parchessi

Most people do not know what this game is, but I promise it is amazing. It is like a version of Sorry, but way more intense.

9. Phase 10

Another classic card game, Phase 10 can break or make friendships with who you chose to skip.

10. Battleship

Finally, Battleship. A great game of strategy (and some guessing skills) that literally anyone can play.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
