News is sweeping across Lee University's campus about the upcoming "Dorm Wars." It seems to be a way of life for a numerous amount of students here on campus, and all have been training rigorosly for this competition.
Since the beginning of creation, man has competed against his neighbor to prove himself better than his counterpart. The bible says to compete to receive a prize (1 Corinthians 9:24). So therefor, it is biblical that we partake in Dorm Wars, right? Sure.
Dorm wars is an event created by the Residential Life that provides students the opportunity to obtain the title of dorm wars winners and help out local charities and organizations at the same time. This event brings students together, as well as the faculty and staff, for an energizing night of competition and exhilaration. Events such as shopping cart races and eating contest fall under some of the many challenges the competitors will face. For a glimpse at what Dorm Wars is, check out this You Tube video--->Dorm Wars.
Each participant feels strongly about pulling his/her own weight in the team. Jay McNelly, a member of the Medlin dorm wars team, had only positive feedback as I interviewed him today. Jay has trained extensively for the event taking place on October twenty-ninth, and said that he has enjoyed every minute of it. Competing in the shopping cart portion of the competition Jay has faced several possible dangers while practicing for the race. After all, getting into a shopping cart and having someone push you (very quickly) can never be completely safe.
"We have practiced hard, and I believe Medlin can win Dorm Wars", states Jay after I asked what his thoughts were on the outcome of the competition. He also says that Dorm Wars has effected him positievly in many ways. Not only is it beneficial in terms of physical health, but also by connecting all dorm wars participants and bringing them closer together.
Dorm Wars is causing somewhat of an uproar on campus and has many students pumped and ready to be the best dorm. It is one of the most anticipated events held on campus and is a feirce battle to see who is the best. It may not be as grusome as the Battle of Gettysburg, but students are prepared to give it all they have and push to the limit to claim the title of "Dorm Wars Champions".
