Honors 1: Video games and basketball games

This past month the Honors 1 LLC participated in two different social events. The events were tailored towards recommendations provided by members of the LLC. Residents were looking forward to hanging out with their friends before Thanksgiving and wanted to compete against one another on the floor in some way. The LLC hosted a Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart tournament in the community and went to a UWM Men’s basketball game. Residents were able to compete against one another in the video game tournament and enjoyed going to a UWM athletic game before Thanksgiving break.
The LLC hosted a thirty five person Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart tournament in the common area. Pizza was provided for all in attendance and the prize at stake was a coconut carving of a monkey provided by RA Ben. Residents went head to head in the tournament and took time off of studying in order to try to win the ultimate prize. The stakes were high for the grand prize and everyone that participated was competitive. Everyone enjoyed eating pizza with friends on an otherwise dull weeknight and appreciated how many community members decided to show up.
Residents from the LLC also attended a group outing to a UWM Men’s basketball game. The game was well attended by members of the floor because of the free t-shirt offered to students in attendance. Another incentive was the reduced rate food that residents enjoyed at the game. For some residents this was their first time attending a UWM athletics event. Some of the residents in attendance liked the UWM Panther Arena and enjoyed going downtown for the game. Many of the residents in attendance expressed interest in going to future games.
Both of these events were great stress relievers as midterms were winding down. Residents in the LLC were able to recoup during the Thanksgiving break and prepare for finals in the month of December.
