i’m a female sophomore in college. i’ll be living with a hall of 20 freshmen this fall, and it’s my job to welcome and mentor them. i’ll be doing this alongside my male counterpart (a good friend of mine).

my responsibilities include the usual “in loco parentis” stuff and academic guidance. i also have to create fun activities and icebreakers for them to get to know each other and the school/surrounding area.

my friend and i have already come up with a couple of ideas (picnic on campus, water balloon fight, making hall decorations), but i was wondering if anyone else had any input. whether it’s a great ice-breaker game, a fun activity you do with your large group of friends, or a fun communal experience you had as a freshman, i wanna hear it!
