6 Drinking Games That Are Safe To Play With Parents

The season of Parents Weekend is upon us once again. Many of us have seen the numerous pictures posted by college accounts of parents at tailgates, immersing themselves in our college culture-and for that Moms and Dads, we applaud you. The world has its fair share of drinking games, but when it comes to drinking games that are appropriate to play with the people who raised us, we're sure to hit more than a few duds. So to save everyone some precious time, I've put together a list of games that allow everyone to ~rage with some respect~.


First thing's first-the classics.

Beer Pong

It's a no brainer. Think about it like the grown up version of playing h-o-r-s-e with your family. Plus, it's a solid way to get a little friendly competition started. If you don't know how to play, it's about time you do. The rules are simple, and you can get a full list of them here.

Flip Cup

Flip Cup is another classic that's bringing home the gold in the realm of family friendly drinking games. It brings out the competitive edge in everyone, and really there's nothing like trying to down beer faster than your dad, and cheering on your mom while she frantically tries to flip a solo cup on the dining room table. If you're a little blurry on the rules, you can double check them here.


Quarters

Quarters is similar to flip cup in that it has the same sense of urgency and it can be just as frustrating. On the upside, you can prove to your siblings that just because you weren't athletic growing up, doesn't mean that you can't totally own them when it comes to getting a quarter in a cup. There's a few different ways to play the game, pick your poison here.


Next, the more complicated games.

Waterfall

Waterfall is a game of chance, and every card you pick is sure to be promising in adding to the atmosphere this game creates. Each card is assigned a certain rule or task, but you can adjust them to what ever you prefer. You can check one version of the rules out here.


Ride the Bus

No, not the same bus you used to roll up in to middle school, this one is much more fun. The rules seem more complicated than they really are, but once you get the hang of them you'll be ready to play all night.


Presidents and A$$holes

This one is golden. The player's ranking is determined by how quickly they can use all of their cards. President is the highest and I'm sure you can figure out what the lowest is. Whoever is in a higher ranking than you can boss you around AKA it's your time to get revenge on your siblings for all the things they did to bully you growing up. Don't delay playing this game any longer.


Family game nights just got taken to a new level.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
