7 Things You'll Understand If You Suck At Video Games

I love playing video games, I see myself as a little bit of a gamer. I've played The Sims, Far Cry 3, parts of Fallout 3, Stardew Valley, Overwatch, many Call of Duty games, and a lot of Wii games. All of these games have one thing in common, I suck at them! No matter how many times I listen to the tutorials, watch playthroughs or read all cheats, I still can't make it through one level without dying many times over, which isn't really fun if you go by the sibling rule, if you die you have to give it to the next person. Here are a couple of things I learn and know about being bad at games.

1) You Talk Skill All you Want But You Have None

What's the best weapon to use in CoD? I don't I can't even hit anyone so the dog I guess at least they can actually do something.

2) People Love To Yell At You

What do you mean I killed my team? I didn't ask for the team life, the team life grabbed me and said worked together!!

3) Move the Trigger, You Can't See

Really helpful when you are on those stealth missions and you need to be able to see where the bad guys are. You only die about a billion times.

4) Forget the Boss, you're still stuck with the Mini Boss

They say one hit will kill him! Well, he's killed me a lot!!!

5) Quick Time Events

You want me to go fast? Honey, I can't even climb up the stairs at normal speeds.

6) Creating Your Own Characters

Yes, this is Jimmy, he's a little ugly but I love him like my own foot

7) Scary Games

NO! You want me to try and get out of a house, not get killed by the Crazy Neighbor Dude and keep my eyes on screen?!!?? NO!

So there you have it, seven things you may understand if you suck at video games.

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.

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?
