Headbandz: The Best Game Ever

It can be hard to find something awesomely fun to do on a regular weeknight in a college town. My friends and I often find ourselves mindlessly surfing the TV channels agonizingly searching for anything entertaining. However, I have found the answer to all of our prayers.

I have recently discovered the imminent fun that stems from a game called Headbandz. For those who have never heard of Headbandz, first off let me apologize. Headbandz is, simply put, the best game ever invented. All you have to do to enjoy this game is put the provided headband on your head and flip the timer. You then pick up a card and insert it into headband, which allows all the other players to see "what you are" while you ask questions about the object until you are able to  guess what it is.

For example, I would begin by asking, "Is it an animal?" If the answer is no, I would ask, "Is it an insect?" If the answer is yes, I may then be able to guess that my card is a fly. If I get it right before the timer runs out of sand, I pick up another card. The goal is to guess as many items as possible before the timer runs out. As if the directions don't obviously explain why this game is incredibly fun, I will happily point out a few of the many reasons I sincerely love headbandz.

First of all, I play this game with my best friends, and who doesn't like having all the power while your friend anxiously and quickly asks questions like "Am I a piece of breakfast food?" To put it simply, it is hilarious. 

Also, the questions are always responded to with a "yes" or "no." I find an unusual amount of joy in being able to say "no" when a friend desperately asks me if they are a giraffe, and they are actually an elephant. Their guess is so close that I feel a slight urge to say "you're warm" before I remember that this is a competition. 

Headbandz gets really heated with a big group of people, which is the best way to play of course. Some people are naturally good guessers and quick speakers, which gives them an advantage in the game and makes the other players, the ones who are hesitant about which questions to ask or are sadly untalented at guessing, feel awesomely inferior. 

The few reasons I have pointed out for Headbandz being the most awesome game on the market right now hardly does it justice, and I highly recommend that you pick it up and find out for yourself just how hilarious it can be!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
