Why 'Trivia Crack' Changed My Life

Are you unreasonably competitive in nature? Do you sometimes wish you were smarter than you actually were? Have you ever experienced the glory of winning a competition? Well, do I have news for you!

Trivia Crack will change your life.

It is three weeks into spring semester. I'm honestly starting to realize that maybe I should have only taken 13 hours, or maybe just drop out of American Government for the second time. Pulling out my phone, I'm immediately happy to see countless notifications from the game "Trivia Crack."

Trivia Crack is a game that leans on the idea of one vs. one "competitive pop quizzes" from traditional topics, including history, sports, art, entertainment, science, and geography, all of which I have problems with in school. Well, except entertainment—turns out, I watch a lot more TV than I thought.

By the end of last week, I completely agree with the addictive oriented title of the game. Crack[ed out on Trivia Crack] is probably the best way to describe my experience.

I have begun to change the way I argue because of this game. "Bro, who get's the last beer in the fridge?" they'll say. With firm eye contact, I can now reply, "Play me for it." Not only will a battle of wits and quick-fire intelligence occur, but every time I play the game, I learn something new. I'm starting to see the world in a new way. Political disputes? Trivia Crack. WWIII breaks out? International Trivia Crack competition.

Obviously, this is satire, but only up to an extent. It seriously does blow my mind that this app has a population that hates learning, taking tests, and lending any form of concentration constantly doing exactly that. Earlier I joked, "Are you unreasonably competitive in nature?" I believe that the head-to-head competition is what has made this game so much fun. That is why we probably should have some form of active competition in the classroom.

All in all, download this game and play me. Bring it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
