Dinner for 12 Strangers at UCLA

By Alma_Matters

August 8, 2022

Aidan Arasasingham graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Global Studies from UCLA.

Traditions can be Strange.

One day, at UCLA, Aidan received a Dinner Invitation. It wasn’t your ordinary, everyday dinner.

This was a Dinner for 12 Strangers. The host was a UCLA Alum.

Aidan was unsure.

It was a tad strange to say the least. 

Dinner with complete strangers? What would that be like?

He wouldn’t know any of the other guests. He didn’t know what to expect.

He was really nervous. 

He wouldn’t have considered going, if there wasn’t a perk involved.

Dinner. Free Dinner.

So, he showed up and it turned out to be one of the best Dinners that he had been to.

The hosts were UCLA alums who met a few years ago at UCLA and had become best friends.

The Strangers at the Dinner realized they all shared a special connection: Love of UCLA!

Two hours later they all left the Dinner, no longer as Strangers.
