Nintendo is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to video games. They consistently release fun, engaging, beautiful games that entertain people of all ages. Their biggest attraction? Their diverse and numerous characters, each with their own unique background and story progression.

Games like "Super Smash Brothers" bring Nintendo characters together in a setting we normally wouldn't see them in, and it got me thinking... what would these characters be like at college? What would their majors be, and would they be involved? If so, what would they do? Well, here's my hot take.

1. Mario - Criminal Justice

A real go-getter, Mario is a very proactive and ambitious student. All he wants to do is bring good to the world. He's on a first-name basis with most of his professors and always turns in his assignments before the due dates. Everybody loves him, and he's great to talk to. He's not the smartest cookie, but he sure does try hard. He's involved with the student government on campus.

2. Princess Peach - Philosophy

Peach doesn't really have to worry about picking a major that's going to make her money. I mean, she is royalty. She spends a lot of time alone — you know, being kidnapped and stuff — and she's got a lot of time to think. Her major doesn't have much of a real-world application, but she's, like, really cool.

She's also a member of an Alpha chapter sorority. All her sisters tell her that her boyfriend smells like a toilet and that she should date a guy who's actually involved with Greek life, but she loves him anyway because he's supportive and would go to the ends of the earth for her.

3. Bowser - Economics

Bowser's got big money. He's always driving around campus in a fancy car with music blaring. He's interested in world domination, and he figured economics was the best way to do that. However, he's not very good at math and has a terrible GPA. He's a member of an Alpha chapter fraternity. He keeps trying to get with Peach and will corner her in the bars, but she's really not into it. He's big, but Mario always ends up kicking his ass.

4. Donkey Kong - Health and Physical Education

Donkey Kong is a total gym rat. He loves working out and is all about protein shakes. Can't you tell? His body is a temple, and he will treat it as such. Some people call him stupid, but really he's just a slow learner — can't he catch a break? He's in a less prestigious fraternity than Bowser, but people always compare them because they're both big and loud. DK wishes they would stop doing this because he really doesn't like Bowser.

5. Kirby - Culinary Arts

Kirby is known around campus for clearing out entire dining halls of food. He's a little man with a big appetite. He's fascinated by all things edible and never skips a meal. He even petitioned the university to keep the dining halls open two hours later so he could get a late night snack in. Doesn't go out much, but when he does everybody's excited to see him. Look how cute!

6. Tom Nook - Supply Chain Management

Tom Nook is old and has already established his business, but he's looking to expand to a wider market. He came back to college to study supply chain so he can franchise his eclectic store, Nook's Cranny. He's become a bit of a fixture on campus and can almost always be found in the lobby of the business school asking people if they need student loans. Bit of a shady figure, he is.

7. The Villager - Undecided

The Villager is the perfect representation of all of us our freshman year — he has no idea what the hell he's doing. His class schedule is full of things he's interested in but not really sure if he wants to commit to a whole major. He's taking archaeology, plant biology, interior design and even a few finance and economics classes (at the suggestion of his mentor, Tom Nook) this semester. His dorm room is super cool, too. You can tell he really took the time to make it look good.

8. Link - Horticulture/Botany

Link is a good guy. He's skilled, intelligent and kind, but he doesn't talk very much. He loves spending his time daydreaming in nature. He's surprisingly good with a set of garden shears. He's president of the fencing club on campus — no one has ever beat him before.

9. Samus - Electrical Engineering

Like Link, Samus is a person of few words. She's pretty well-known on campus, but not because she tries to be. She's just so good at like, everything. She consistently makes the Dean's List and a lot of the other engineering majors are jealous of her because she's just so damn smart. Her senior capstone project was her suit; she got an A for sure. She's also president of the university's MMA club. She's known for hitting guys that get too handsy at the bars. We love Samus.

10. Yoshi - Political Science

Yoshi is a poli sci major; most of what he says is incomprehensible. He's student body president, but he really only got elected because he's popular. He's upbeat, but when you try to talk to him about issues he just pops out a pointless egg and jumps away. Not helpful, Yoshi, we have a funding crisis.

It's about time the characters of Nintendo stop fighting in the streets and go out and get a real education. No plumbers here!

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
