On Wednesday March 25, the roommate game was held to see who would get the first pick of rooms during room selection.
The contests consisted of a pair of future roommates from each of the dorm buildings. Dana Lewis and Naila Stocks from Shriner, Alex and Jake Sexton from Meyran, Tyler Erney and Eric Turner representing Coblentz, Erin Allen and Marissa Pandolfo for Memorial, and Rebecca and Chloe Jackson representing Smith.
Round one began with questions varying from which foreign country their roommate would most like to visit to their opinion on Justin Bieber and what is their favorite shoe brand. The one question that seemed to stump everyone except for Lewis and Stocks was their roommate’s worst bad habit. All other teams answered incorrectly. The first round ended with Shriner, Coblentz and Smith tied with seven points, Meyran with six, and Memorial with four.
In between rounds there were several raffles for things like Target, Chipotle and Sheetz gift cards. The final and most valuable raffle ticket was that of the second lottery number, so they would pick right after whomever won the roommate game.
The second round sides switched and questions were now being asked about the other roommate. This round had questions ranging from their favorite “Sesame Street” character to what song is most likely to be stuck in their head and how loudly on a 0-5 scale they snore. At the end of this round it was Shriner and Smith tied with 13 points, Coblentz with 12, Meyran with 10, and Memorial with eight.
Since two teams were tied for first it caused for a sudden death round. The teams from Shriner and Smith both answered the first four questions correctly about their roommate. In the end Shriner won by picking the same number between one and one hundred.
“I was happy with the outcome, but I was also surprised and a bit sad because my friend, Chloe and Rebecca didn’t win, but I think everything worked out in the end, so I’m glad,” said Lewis.
