Game Night!

Since I have come to college, my friends and I have found new ways to come together. Back in high school, at least for me and my high school friends, a normal hangout on a Friday or Saturday night was going to the movies. I came to the realization that when you go to the movies, there is no way to talk and catch up with friends. My friends and I have a ritual of coming together on the weekends, and sometimes even on weekdays, to play board games. It is a good way to get everyone involved. Before and after playing we always find ourselves telling jokes, childhood stories and just laughing for hours. I feel so appreciative to have met such great friends up in Flagstaff. Even if we only play one round of games, it is still a way to bring us together to talk about our week or day. Some of our favorite games that we play are Pictionary, Taboo Apples to Apples and Sequence. The games allow us to be able to see which of my friends are competitive. Some of us get really worked up. When we play Pictionary, it gets very competitive and loud. We have had many RAs come into the room to tell us to be quiet. The memories of trying to “stay quiet” after being told to by the RAs that we were too loud were some of the funniest times. So the next time you and your friends are sitting around bored, wondering what to do, grab a game from the front desk of your residence hall. You will be so surprised how many laughs you will get. It is a great way to bond with your friends.
