Trivia

Every Thursday night, five of my friends and I gather on the second level of Lower Dining Hall at 9 pm for our favorite event of the week - Trivia, sponsored by Nights On The Heights. All week, we prepare by reading random wikipedia pages, figuring out which songs we want to request from the question asker/dj, and honing our skills at hilarity to come up with witty answers when we don't know the right one. It is, in short, awesome.

This week, we arrived early to secure our spot in the corner by the question asker, Mike. This is the best spot because we are close to the refreshments (pizza), speakers, and there is easy access to hand in the questions. The theme was "green" - all the questions were about going green in honor of Green Month at BC. Unfortunately, we had not prepared appropriately, but never fear! Being the super smart BC students that we are, we were able to recall information we had learned in the distant past (What is the biggest nuclear accident to date? Chernobyl.) and we managed to come in 3rd place. All in all, it was a very exciting night, and a great way to start our weekend (HOORAY no class on Fridays!). Next week, we will be back with a vengeance - our competitors had better be ready for a tough opponent!

Best,
Amanda
