In order to get involved in student life, David, Isaac and I all decided to visit the game room. It was my first time visiting there and my first impressions were alright. I noticed how colorful and lively the room was first thing. The walls were painted vibrant colors and there was music playing in the background which added to the “fun” vibe in the room. Although the music was horrible and I couldn’t stand it, David and Isaac convinced me to stay and we all ended up playing all three of the games they had there: ping pong, pool, and foosball. Personally, I thought pool was the most enjoyable. We ended up getting to play on it even though it’s usually a hassle to get a game. Me and David played against each other and I ended up beating him after we started off with only David and Isaac playing while I was talking to some people I had just met. After they both finished their game I played the winner which ended up being David. After beating David, I got to stay on and play against some random person who was a close match. After playing two games of this I then decided to go visit Isaac who was playing foosball.
Although this game room does not compare to other college’s game rooms, David, Isaac and I still had a great time. I think this experience just goes to show that you don’t need the best equipment or the biggest room to have fun. We still had a good time with the other students in the room and spent the time well.
Overall, this was one of those things at Baruch I found to be exciting and kind of fun for the first time but I probably won’t be spending my free time in the game room normally.
