Umm. My first program is already done and my evaluation paperwork was in last week.
Question for the RAs
fuckyeahstudentaffairs:
Hey all you RAs out there,
What kinds of goodies do you like to receive from your supervisor?
Overheard on my floor.
Resident one: Dude, how long does it take to dry your clothes?
Resident two: I dunno, man, I don't clean my clothes.
Resident one: What?
Resident two: My mom does that all for me.
Resident one: DUDE, how often do you go home?
Resident two: Well, she just comes and picks it up like every week.

jesskaka:
Because gosh darn it. I’ve had 4 have to leave for one reason or another already this semester.
I love you little ones. Please go far in life.
i love ra appreciation day
ridiculously-awesome:
whoever came up with it is the best person ever
i have had a really tough week, RA and school wise. But when I came back from being in class 9:25-6, my door was decorated. and then after a mediation, a whole group of my boys came up to me and said “thank you, we love you”. I literally almost cried. I feel so loved and appreciated and I’m so happy. :) Its nice to hear it...

The awkward moment when a resident opens their door the exact moment you are taping a flyer to it.
oh my gosh just let me watch the film!
lizavery:
I want to screen “MIss Representation” for an RA program but what the heck look at all these restrictions and fees and crap.
Hoping this screening at the Library is real since its not posted on the chicago library’s website…. Maybe I’ll email the person about it.
argh!

I had this idea where I could make ALL my wall...
nineteenascanbe:
There would be kittens on EVERYTHING. Quiet hours poster? Pictures of kittens sleeping.
Super Mario tunnels on the walls? Kittens are peeking out of them.
Birthday bulletin board? The border is kittens wearing party hats.
Campus Safety sign? Kittens doing dangerous things.
Bathroom cleaning schedule notice? The background is a fat kitty laying in the sink.
I think the...
NEW BULLETIN BOARD IS DONE.
timbeon:
And it only took me 6 and a half hours, 2 full loads of my stapler, 3 trips to the resource room, 2 paper cuts, and a hole in my toe from stepping on a staple.
BUT IT’S UP.
I don't understand.... What about "put the duty...
theteacupredemption:
Because obviously there must be something wrong with it if no one is doing it.
Ugh wtf. It’s not that complicated. Put the phone back. It is not my job to chase after you to get said phone.
Seriously do your damn job. It’s not that complicated.
End rant.
I drank too much soda...
jellyfishjamboree:
I never really drink soda, and I had a LOT tonight. I wanted to stay awake for duty. I feel like a 6 year old who gets sick from candy.
Except I got sick from soda.
Being an RA has lots of complications 0____0

esenablacaasi:
Yesterday was “Group Process” a day of activities for new RA applicants to participate in, while being evaluated by present RAs. Those of us applying to be Senior RAs had to present the sessions for the applicants. I presented on Time Management, and because of this was not able to see what all…
New Bulletin Board!!

Funny anecdote about yesterday's RA interview
willoughby-the-ginger-jedi:
So there were two different session-tables to the individual interview with two RDs and two RAs. At the first table I went to, both the RD and the RA recognized me from ATV. Then at the second table, the RD recognized me from ATV.
A) This is awesome. I am a celebrity on campus, it’s official.
B) I think the only people who actively watch ATV are Housing and Dining....

Hiding...
swim-the-sea:
I haven’t done any homework, but I’ve successfully hidden myself from my residents all weekend.
That has to count for something, right?
All the fire alarms.
zggy-sqrd:
So the residence hall I live in is in an area with two other buildings and my building had a fire alarm go ff earlier and now the building across from me is having their fire alarm go off.
Thank god I’m not primary right now.
THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU LOVE YOUR FLOOR.
shaysomething:
Omg. So I joked on a resident’s status (who got five boxes of Girl Scout cookies) that he should share them with me. I came back from being in the staff office tonight to a box outside my door with my name on it. I opened it, and he left three Girl Scout cookies in a ziploc bag for me outside of my door.
I don’t ever want to leave this floor.
Shaving is far too acrobatic of an affair in my...

Things I do as an RA that people probably don’t realize happens:
Hang up endless, endless flyers.
Plan programs that don’t even take place for my building.
CONSTANT BATTLES WITH PHYSICAL PLANT ON THEIR BEHALF.
Keep updated with security, JB, and HC on school policies to pass the info along.
i had a program tonight.

stayupp:
We have a fire drill at 2am, (thank god it wasnt our floor being stupid).
When we get back to our rooms, one person (who shall remain unnamed, for obvious reasons) is freaking out because she left her bottle of wine open in her room. During fire alarms, they sometimes check the rooms to see if…
