How to Win at Icebreakers

by CH Interns on


Step 1: Change your name to something awesome. My name used to be Vincent Merkin-Jachowicz but that was a disaster on four counts because it was nerdy, unpronounceable, pubic, and Jewish. That’s no way to win. So I changed it to Vinny Jordan. It’s got nickname potential out the butt an d it really rolls off the tongue. Take that Xuxu Lin-Yeoung.

Step 2: When you are asked to say something you enjoy that starts with the first letter of your name (and you will be asked this) don’t say anything that’s sexual, about parties, or boring. But, above all, don’t shrug and mumble that you don’t know. Yeah, I’m talking to you Xuxu, you awkward f*ck.

Step 3: Truth: Two-truths-and-a-lie is the stupidest f*cking game that orientation leaders have ever come up with. Why do you care if people you don’t even know are lying to you? The chance that you will actually become friends with any of the 7-15 people in your grass-stained-ass circle is about 1 in 500 hundred (depending on the size of the student body. And the size of the student’s body! Am I right, bro? Am I right? You know it)

So, in honor of this moronic game, I’m just going to lay out your instructions point blank:

1. My name is not Vinny Jordan.
2. I own a piece of the Agro Crag.
3. This is the lie.

Check and mate. Try spewing some genius like that, Xuxu, you stupid f*cking pile of gay dog sh*t.

Step 4: If you think that there’s a chance that, even with these comprehensive and ingenious tips, you won’t win at icebreakers, just skip the orientation activities. What are they going to do, give you detention? Listen up, chump, there are only two words you need to know to win at college: F*ck It.

Whiny inmate

I worked at a prison as a corrections officer (prison guard) and there was a particular inmate there who always complained about everything. For three months I endured his rants on how the lights were too bright, the rooms too hot, the blankets too scratchy, and so on. Obviously this is prison and no one gets luxury accommodations. I reached the end of my rope one morning... Read More » when I had to go down the run and wake him up at 7 AM for transport somewhere else in the state for a medical procedure. The guy is all grumpy, complaining about how I'm getting him up at the "ass crack of dawn." He demanded to be allowed time to take a shower, heat and drink some coffee and have a smoke. The van taking him away was already waiting for him and I knew for a fact that he'd taken a shower before going to bed the night before. I told him there wasn't time for any of that, he just had to get dressed and get to the van. He begins swearing and ranting about how inhumanely we were treating him and after months of his complaints I couldn't hold it in anymore. "I know, it sucks how early you have to get up to get your free medical care, huh?" I told him. He was immediately silent . He got dressed and left in a huff. I later found out how he wrote a grievance to the warden about my comment. Inmate complaints are occasionally reason for worry, so I was nervous when the warden called me in to his office. It turned out he just thought my comment was hilarious and told me to keep up the good work.
