Residence Life hosted our annual Battle for the Bucks
program a few weeks ago. It was a huge success. I think this is one of the
better years that we have had. The program ran a good amount of time and a lot
of people won a prize of some sort. Battle for the bucks is a program that we
do every year, to give students something else to do besides going out on Friday
nights. It is an awesome opportunity to spend time with friends in a positive
environment and make money as well. We played several games; including the
price is right, deal or no deal, and pyramid. The RA’s had a lot of fun acting
out the different games and getting in touch with our more outgoing side as
game show hosts. My game was minute to win it and Bingo. I think that they both
went well. It was fun watching how competitive people got with the silly games.
Whenever money is involved people go crazy! I think that the participants enjoyed
the games and the rewards.
Besides
the games, we also had free food and snacks available. So even if you didn’t
get called up to play a game you were still able to get freebies. We also gave
out door prizes to people, so there were multiple opportunities for as many
people as possible to win. I hope that next year goes as flawlessly with Battle
of the Bucks this year did. It is crazy to think that I won’t be a part of it
next year. I won’t have a say in planning or executing. It feels surreal as my
semester is starting to wind down. I realize that I am experiencing some things
for the last time, and there is no turning back to comfort but only moving
forward towards graduation day and a future career. It is scary to think about,
so I will stop thinking about it for now!
