Billiards Club!

One of the many events that I attended so far at Stockton University was on a casual Friday night when so many people went home for the weekend and there was nothing to do. This event is known as the Billiards Club. I went on September 8th and have gone every Friday since. It is a great way to meet new people and I was able to learn a game that I never really knew the rules of. I felt like the group was very welcoming and they were all so excited to have new people join and all wanted to know my name. In the beginning it can be intimidating because all the returning people already knew each other but it didn’t take long before I made some new friends to talk to. In fact, I was able to hang out with three people that are in my housing that I never even knew existed beforehand and now they are great friends of mine. Plus, the gameplay was super fun and there was some fierce competition. The secretary of the club made brackets of all our names and we would play best of three games to see who would then move on to the semi-finals and the finals. I feel that the Billiards Club is very useful for those that are bored on a Friday night and when you go to a university that has over half of its students being commuters the campus can be kind of dead and depressing. Therefore, it can at least boost your mood for two hours or so and make your night more enjoyable. Now every time I go to the game room with friends outside of Billiards Club I am able to beat them more because this club has taught me some tricks and made me a more well-rounded player.
