Homecoming weekend at UVA
means the Young Alumni Reunion. The Young Alumni Reunion event invites the
three most recently graduated classes of UVA to celebrate UVA with friends and
family. While this is one of my favorite events of the year because I get to
see my old, graduated friends, there is the weighty decision of choosing to let
my old, graduated friends to stay with me or not. While most would think it
would be a selfish decision to not allow them to stay in my house, they are
unaware of the fact that my older friends who have graduated are NOTORIOUS for
destroying things to which they have no liability to, those things usually being
the house which I live in and everything inside it. I had to use the minmax regret
strategy when making this decision of whether or not to let my friends stay with
me during this year’s Y.A.R.. The marginal cost of letting my friends stay with
me would be me having to deal with their debauchery and the most-indefinitely
event of them breaking something (which I would have to deal with in the
future). On the other hand, the marginal benefit would include the great time
spent reconnecting and reliving the days when they were back in college. I love
my friends and would feel regret for not letting them stay with me in the off
chance that they don’t break anything in my house. In but the end, I decided that
the marginal benefit of letting my friends stay with me would outweigh the
marginal cost of them breaking something, so I let them stay with me.
While I seem to exaggerate the marginal cost of
this decision, here is the proof of the marginal cost of the carnage from the older
alums after this weekend.
