After VR, I picked up the circle projector and Ben hosted Super Smash Bros on his switch. At one point we had five people playing. I started out as Sonic and got quite the finger workout pressing down and B over and over again. I then switched to the Wii Fit Trainer and won a couple rounds by doing hard yoga poses and stretches over and over again.
This past Friday, Dec. 7th I reserved the Virtual reality room in the Karrmann Library from 3:00 to 5:00. Since so many residents were interested, we decided to also make it our mandatory wing meeting. We had seven, including me which is 70% of the wing, come for information and fun. We all got plenty of exercise flying planes, progressing through dungeons, and rock out on the VR classic Beat Saber. We then went to dinner at the Haus and talked about how raw chicken isn’t good for a persons health.
Between rounds last night I was invited to witness Ben wrecking at Beat Saber on his HTC VIVE. He played “Through The Fire and Flames” on extreme+ and sped up, getting really far into the song. It was awesome to watch. While Tyler played some other songs, we talked about how much physical work it is. We also watched a video of a guy playing who was connected to a heart rate monitor and his pulse got up to 203 bpm. VR can be a great way to exercise.
Recently I had the privilege of learning from Josh about the 5,000 Challenge. Participants run a 5k, then lift 5,000lbs worth of something such as 50 curls with 100lbs, they then eat 5,000 calories worth of a single food of their choice, and finally run another 5k. They can’t be sick to their stomach or they lose and this has to be done within a four hour period. There has only been one winner so far. We ended up talking about the nutritional value of Gushers and if it would be reasonable to eat 5,000 calories. It definitely would not be healthy.
Congratulations to those who performed at the Honor Recital. It was a wonderful performance by each of the soloists. Sitting in the CFA with a group the group from ground floor and more, we enjoyed the enriching atmosphere of the music. It was a calming experience that we were able to engage in with each other. Thank you all, ground floor men and friends from around who all came and enjoyed the talent and relaxing music.
On the wing we have had multiple chances to learn together about dealing with alcohol as the conversations have come up. Just to go over some of the things we have covered and to have a place to go to for a reminder, here is some of that material.
The recovery position was explained and demonstrated previously. Here is an image to refer back to. In any situation where someone would need this remember to never leave them alone. Don’t hesitate to get help if there’s a slight chance its needed.
Shout out to the guys on ground floor for being respectful and maintaining a healthy attitude toward alcohol and being supportive for those upcoming into drinking age. Your encouragement to be responsible and respectful makes the difference on the culture.
Running around throwing a disk is a great way to work out and stay in shape. Doing that and being able to represent Hugunin Hall is a bonus. The circle Olympics were great fun and Ultimate Frisbee was a great event. Hugunin had two teams with a great turnout representing and winning. Thanks to all who joined in, ran around and won for Huguning. 
Hot days have lots of sitting around and doing nothing but being hot. But that’s not how its was this weekend. We fought the heat with a little bit of H2O and gravity. Rock on guys from ground floor to show up and slide down. Its was fun seeing all the creative ways to slide down a tarp on a hill. Thanks again for being healthy in the heat and being active on a Saturday. Hope we can keep this fun healthy heat fighting in other ways as the sun shines on.
The circle did it again with the Grill and Chill this past Monday. A full event right in the circle complete with yard games, DJ, food, and slip and slide. It was a great chance to start of the semester being active and socializing all at once. Thanks to Hugunin, Pickard, and Brockert Halls for putting it together.
