Truth or dare is not only for high school

In high school, certain activities seem immature such as skipping class, plagiarism and sexual experimentation, but after several years of higher education, these events possess latent adult appeal.In a sea of possibilities, one pastime stands out as the paragon of professionalism and occurs nightly on campus among people regardless of race, creed or alcohol tolerance: truth or dare. This quasi-Olympic sport is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, but every time, players run out of philosophical truths or inspirational dares, and resort to switching clothes and sharing anatomic secrets. Never fear, here is a list of truths and dares perfect for undergraduate students seeking a night of progressive fun.
TRUTHS
Should you be studying? If so, what?
Do you intend on marrying the person you’re dating? If so, what’s your time frame? If not, why are you filling them with false hope?
Does your major fulfill you emotionally? If not, why are you afraid to swap?
Should you have stopped drinking a while ago? Why didn’t you stop?
Are you unhappy with your body image? If so, what have you done to change it?
Are you lonely? If so, how often do you leave your room or post online ads?
What do you spend the majority of your money on?
Where do you see yourself in five to ten years? (Prison is a landmark not a destination.)
Do you have a long term crush on anyone in the circle? Is he or she your best friend? Are you his or her ride? On the way home, why don’t you stop for Golden Pantry, lock the car doors and talk?
Have you ever failed a course? If so, was if really the professor’s fault? If so, why didn’t you write the dean?
DARES
If you are unemployed, fill out a job application.
If your significant other is unemployed and has not filled out a job application, dump him or her and date someone with initiative.
Let someone view your Internet history and openly discuss questionable material.
Throw away everyone’s contraceptives, and live off of the pleasure of literature for a week.
Give the host’s dog to someone who will love it instead of using it to pick up women.
Call your landlord, Community Advisor, or parent and tell him or her how many pin holes or paint stains are covered with furniture or toothpaste.
Find an unattractive person in the circle and style his or her hair for maximum sex appeal.
Sign your friend up for the GRE, fill out his or her basic information on a Yale application, and say, “If anyone can, it’s you.”
