Friends on PPT Night

The latest trend circulating around college kids? PowerPoint night. Everyone creates a silly presentation either about the friend group, unpopular opinions, pop culture, you name it. Make it as fun and as creative as you want! You want to be thaaaaat friend who "exposes" everyone in the group? Go for it. Or, do you want to rank every Taylor Swift album? Yeah, you can do that too.

Here are some of my best PowerPoint night ideas, after participating in a few myself.

"If each one of you were a candy bar you'd be..."

Assign everyone in your friend group a type of candy! Maybe your "mom friend" is an Almond Joy or your "sweet and caring friend" is a Jolly Rancher?

"Ranking each song on ________'s newest album!"

Taylor Swift

Amanda Brennan

Choose your favorite artist and roast them to your heart's content. Have a least favorite song? Call it out. Is there one constantly on repeat? Blast it till your friends can't take it anymore!

"Ranking our friend group on who's most to least likely to do psychedelic drugs"

Drugs

Amanda

Gotta shoutout my pal Bella on this one. When she got around to me, she said I would "simply decline." She's not wrong!

Assign everyone a word!! 

This is what we did last time. Hence why Bella had to incorporate the word "psychedelic" into her title. We all submitted the most RANDOM of words into a generator. Then, it assigned each one of us a word to use in the title of our presentation. It really helped to get our creative juices flowing

"How you'd all die in Hogwarts"

Hogwarts

Amanda Brennan

Okay, ya, sounds gory I KNOW. But, it made for a very comical Zoom. 95% of my friends absolutely love Harry Potter so we had a Harry Potter themed night last fall. I instead made a killer presentation about the one and only Mr. Harry Styles, since I'm not the biggest Potter fan.

Dogs.

Honestly, who doesn't love just staring at a screen of dogs for a while? Rank some of the breeds, tell a story about your dog, throw in some dog memes. You do you.

"Ranking a bunch of celebrities I would punch in the face if I had the opportunity"

Giphy

I stole this one from a Tik Tok. This could be a fun one to show some personality. What are your opinions on the Kardashians? Or One Direction? Or the cast of the Avengers? Go all over the place!

Justice

Amanda Brennan

THROWBACK TIME! What a good opportunity to include some real photo gems. Make sure you include some iconic fits from Justice...neon pink, crazy sparkles and peace signs included.

These are only a few ideas to help make your PowerPoint night a memorable one! You know your friends best, so you'll know what style of presentation will be the greatest hit! Show your personality and have fun with it! Use those silly backgrounds teachers always wanted you to stay away from. Use a million different fonts and colors. Have fun!

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

April Ludgate

April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation is notorious for her "I don't care" attitude. She speaks her mind without caring what anyone thinks of her. Fans love her because she isn't afraid to be herself. April can seem cold and negative, but she's really just fearless and strong-minded. And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
