I have played bingo twice since being at the University of Iowa: once for On Iowa! and once for Parents Weekend. As a very competitive individual, I find that Bingo&#8217;s lack of strategy drives me insane. It is pure luck that I do not have. I will be one or two away, heart racing, waiting to hear my number called, and it never will be called. Next thing you know, ten people are yelling Bingo, and we&#8217;re told to clear our cards. It is the most infuriating thing. I think I need to take a break from Bingo, so I remain a sane person.<\/p>\n<p>On a good note, though, my friend did win Bingo for On Iowa!, and her prize was a T.V. This made me a lot less angry, as we have movie nights in her dorm on the TV she won.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-41 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/2026\/09\/21\/the-rage-of-bingo\/kodak-digital-still-camera-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0965-e1790020614675-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"A photo of my friend holding up the TV she won at Bingo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0965-e1790020614675-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0965-e1790020614675-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0965-e1790020614675-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0965-e1790020614675.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/2026\/09\/21\/the-rage-of-bingo\/kodak-digital-still-camera\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0954-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"A photo of me and my friend, the one who won the TV, holding up our Bingo cards smiling\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0954-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0954-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0954-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/danica\/files\/2026\/09\/100_0954.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Thank you for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never feel true rage and anger until I play bingo&#8230; Let me explain.
