Hello Juniors! Your first full month
of classes is wrapping up, and over here at ResLife we are gearing up some
Junior Year Experience programming! We know the transition from being in
Sophomore College to living in the upper class area can be an odd one, so keep
in mind that your fellow juniors are experiencing the same feelings. Living in
the upper class area is different in that your Hall Managers work to be a
resource for you, not necessarily a mentor. You will experience more autonomy,
less programs, but also will see more energy from us specifically in helping
you develop career aspirations and prepare for life after Trinity. This leads us to our first big program of the
semester! On Tuesday, October 28th, you are invited to play The Game of Life on
the Esplanade. However, this is not your typical board game. We have
transformed Life into a life-sized experience aimed towards allowing you to
make decisions that you’ll face in the real world. You will start a job,
receive a salary, and then progress through the game make decisions such as if
you’re willing to give up part of your paycheck for a monthly Netflix
subscription. By the end of the game, you will end up with your monthly
take-home amount, and you will be able to see where all of your money goes. We
are hoping this interactive game will get you ready for those tough real-world
decisions, and help ease the transition from being a college student to a work
professional. I hope to see a lot of you there and remember you can always reach me by email at
