Zack And Cody...The Video Game?

Too many of us have forgotten this gem. It is about time we were reminded.

Zack And Cody...The Video Game?
ABC 7 Chicago

Okay, listen up.

I know that it is very easy to keep getting swept up into the hype that comes along with game releases for new platforms (don't you even dare mention Animal Crossing coming to iPhone because I cannot wait any longer), but with this excitement, we are slowly forgetting about the height of games' past. Along with that past comes the one that reigns high above all: Zack and Cody's Pizza Party Pickup.

I am offended by my own memory that I forgot this game existed. Thanks to my wonderful roommate, this delicacy was placed back into my everyday routine and my life will not ever be the same.

It has come to my attention that while studying my late nights away in Marston Science Library- and by studying I mean playing Zack and Cody's Pizza Party Pickup- that some of you may have never played this game nor have you heard of it.

Truthfully, this is unacceptable, so allow me to culture you.

I can recall many an afternoon of my elementary school life spent staring at this screen before falling into the pizza-filled abyss for hours on end. The game is simple: you pick one of four characters (Zack, Cody, Maddie or London) and you have to collect tickets on each floor of the hotel, along with slices of pizza and other snacks and goodies to throw the best pizza party ever! The catch? Don't get caught by Mr. Moseby or Carey, the twins' mother.

You utilize the hallways to sneak past the other characters and to also retrieve extra items for the party. It looks fairly simple in the photo above, but I can assure you that by level five (the level that this 19-year old college student cannot even defeat) you'll be screaming at your laptop with more angst than you could imagine.

The fact of the matter is, no matter how hard you try I can assure you that you'll end up in defeat by level eight and they will always tell you that your pizza party was only "ok!" Accept your losses now and remember that Zack and Cody's Pizza Party Pickup isn't about the destination, it is about the journey.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
