Besties win in friend trivia game

By Yen Nguyen

The Resident Life Association’s event “So, You Think You Know Your Roommate/Friend?” created a bonding time for students and their friends in the Hub Monday night. 

During the events, participants teamed up with their friends or roommates to answer questions about each other. Two teams competed at the same time. The best three teams received prizes for their friendships.

The prizes included a movie pack with popcorn seasonings and candies and a Chess Checkers Tic-Tac-Toe set for the first and second runners-up. The winner received a $25 Domino gift card. 

Imran Ayele, 18, freshman of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and his roommate, Mohannad Alhusaini, 18, freshman of Amman, Jordan, won the first place. 

“I expected to win because I’ve known him for almost 15 years,” Ayele said. 

“I love my best friend,” Alhusaini added. 

Resident Advisor Mikaela Franzen, 21, junior of Gurley, said that the reason they came up with this event was that they wanted to see how well people know their friends. 

“We all think we know our friend really well but we don’t really know until we put it in a test,” Franzen said. 

RLA’s next event will be “Beach Please,” a beach themed night 9:30 p.m. Friday, after the basketball games.
