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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
