I don't have much time to write this. I don't know how I managed to escape, but somehow I did. But I know I won't be free for too long so before I have to go back I want to leave a warning to all my friends. It all started 5 weeks ago, when the first round of Mario Kart was played. Since then, Mario Kart has taken over my suite's life. Sure we still "spend time" working on homework, study, and doing other stuff "normal" college kids do. But every time someone mentions Mary Kart our eyes light up and we have a sudden urge to join in the game.We challenge each other to do the absolute best that we can. It's not a matter of being first place, it's much more than that. Winning means that you are the superior, you are better than your friends, you are THE supreme overlord. When just a normal race isn't enough we spice up the game. We make the AIs tougher, the items are set to be aggressive, and the track is mirrored. If you're in the lead you have the definite advantage, your items will help you gain more of a lead If you're losing you are practically done f or. You might be able to go up a few places but if you want to win you need definite skills. The game favors those who are ahead so if you're not one of those people you needs skills not items to give you the lead. Sometimes we want to change things up, instead of just racing we decide we want to battle. Coins or balloons? We each have our preference so we can never definitively decide. Personally I prefer coins since I an destroy anyone I play against; however, most of my suitemates are indifferent or strongly against coins. This starts a pre-game battle that just intensifies the actual game play. I wish I could be writing this and say I am still friends with my suitemates. Over the years I've heard so many horror stories about how friendships were destroyed over Mario Kart, yet I never believed any of them. How could people stop being friends over a game? Yet here I am, sure we still talk to each other and hang out, but every time the game is on we are sworn enemies.
I must go now, we're about to start another race and I cannot lose. Just remember though, if anyone ever asks you to play Mario Kart, you must say NO.
PS: bonus points if you hit Rosalina
