Prassell Lounge Life

The next great thing to talk about on my list of relaxation spots on the Trinity University campus is the Prassell Lounge on the bottom floor of the Prassell dorms. It is one of the few extras in Prassell that make it bearable, seeing as Prassell is the furthest dorm from anything on  campus. The Prassell Lounge definately is one of the great things about Prassell. It has everything that a college student could want.

The first of the many wonders of the lounge is the television that is strategically located in the center of the back wall for all to see. It also is one of the larger of the many televisions that are on campus and may be the biggest. It is available for use by any of the Trinity students and is a great place to sit down and watch some of the college games on on Saturday afternoons. And it is surrounded by some very odd yet surprisingly comfortable padded seats.

The seats and the television do not compare to the pool table and ping pong table. I personally am a fan of Billiards as I might call it if I were trying to impress a lady friend but for now we can stick with Pool. I grew up playing Pool in my dad's office so seeing it sitting in the lounge on move in day made me quite happy. Also owning a Ping Pong table I was pleased to see that that was also an option for my enjoyment. The only problem with these two tables is that you must provide your own equipment such as balls and a que for the pool table and paddles and balls for ping pong.

The final and probably my favorite of the Prassell Lounge's many wonders is the snack machine. I know that many of you will judge me for choosing the snack machine over any of the other great things that go on in the lounge but I am often sitting in my room thinking about how hungry I am and it makes for a very easy solution. Plus the machine is filled with some of the best choices I have ever seen. Between the Flaming Hot Cheetohs and the Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies I should be satisfied until I have to move on to the junior dorms next year.

In conclusion I would say that the Prassell Lounge is one of the best places on campus to hang out and relax while you take your study breaks. It offers a few different options for entertainment and is always a nice place to just chill with some of your friends. Whether yall would like to compete in some of the greatest table games there are or just sit, eats some snacks and watch television, Prassell will meet your needs.
