<p>I hate them. I despise them. I cannot stand them. When we started doing them during orientation I did as little as possible. Finally I was forced into doing a thing where you go around and tell your most embarassing moment. </p>
<p>I don’t have any. Either I don’t get embarrased or I’m too stupid to know when I should be. Probably the latter. </p>
<p>Anyway, I just made up a story about how I had one line in a school play and then forgot it during the performance. They totally bought it, and everyone laughed and sympathized. </p>
<p>Surely there are others that share this hatred.</p>
<p>yes! I hate things like that! and I haven’t even made it to orientation yet.
years of summer programs have instilled a dread of icebreakers in me though.</p>
<p>I hate that stupid 2 truths and a lie game</p>
<p>no one LIKES doing icebreakers but it is a good way to learn people’s names and something about them. It makes it easier to get to know someone.</p>
<p>i actually enjoy them :)? idk it might be weird but we had a bunch of good ones at orientation and 2 truths and 1 lie is really interesting. and it does make you way more familiar with everyone in your group. a good nonofficial icebreaker is never have i ever</p>
<p>I just completely freeze up and can’t think of anything.</p>
<p>Those are dumb games but be confident, smile, and try and make people laugh, and when you’re done with the stupid stuff RAs have put together, you can get to the REAL icebreakers - actually having a conversation.</p>
