Fuck Yeah Res Life!

month

March 2011

The fire alarm went off at 3 AM the other night

ike-loa: Elise didn’t wake up. I was astounded. She would die if it weren’t for me. If this were nature, she would have died in childhood. FRIENDSHIP.

I still recall the thrill...: March is the month... →

arhapsodydivine: So for my job for Res Life, I have to make a bulletin board every month. It just has to be something that’s fun to look at, or interactive in some way. Since March is the month of music, my bulletin board is going to be the top ten movie musicals on the “AFI’s Greatest Movie Musicals” list. This…

theinbetweener: The other day I got the idea to start a series of posts where I talk about something I did or experienced during each day. Through these posts, I wish to reflect upon, and maybe even learn something from my day-to-day encounters. today i… visited my old dorm room for the first time since…

Before&After #1: A POP of color.

noirefemmefatale: This dorm makeover is one of the best, they added lots of color and great storage to make this dorm one of a kind. Before After: It’s hard to believe that this is even the same dorm as before. From: theLovelyUndergrad.com

itsloganbrahh: He just came in and had his nice clothes on and was like, “Oh sorry this must be a bad time.” What is that supposed to mean? I’m just chillin in my boxers. What guy doesn’t do that? Also, you’re a teacher. Wtf why are you in my room?

shaunanigansinclt: AND THERE IS FREE CAKE. Who doesn’t want free freaking cake? I don’t get credit if nobody comes. Fuck!

Lightning strikes and people scream.

cheesewizliz: LSU is full of drama queens. CHILL, guys.

Housing Whippersnapper: The RA Pyramid →

dilkw: So, awhile back they (whoever they are is, I am not sure) came out with a revised food pyramid. Instead of servings it has amounts that someone who eats 1,800 calories a day should eat. Here is a link to the new chart. The different amounts are; 6 oz. of grains, with at least half being whole…

I Can't, I'm on Duty: A.W.K.W.A.R.D. →

dutyra: One of the worst situations involved in human nature is when you are walking down a hall and someone that you kind of sort of are aquainted with starts heading down the same hall in the opposite direction. Inevitably the two of you are going to pass one another, and yes… it’s going to be…

still-running-for-my-life-deact asked: I'm a second year RA applying to be a third year. For my interview, I have to prepare a powerpoint on something that could be presented during training. Do you have an ideas? I'm a little stuck!

Life on the T-List: College Life Challenge: Day 4 →

thomasmichaelmark: Do You Live On Or Off Campus? Proud to say I live on campus. This campus can be extremely beautiful, especially when the sun is out. People will argue and say it’s ugly, but I think that’s only due to the construction, but that’s ugly everywhere you go. Our campus is centralized so all the…

Once Upon A Bryn Mawr: Building of the Week:... →

onceuponabrynmawr: History: Built in 1885, Merion Hall is the oldest dorm on campus. Although much of the dorm is as it originally was, the dining hall that was once held on the south side of the dorm was turned into rooms and back staircase when the residential offices realized that in the event of a fire,…

How me and my roommate run down the halls after...

kelliwindle: Very accurate. People love us and our noises:)

thedizzycity: Not many people can say that they’re been spanked by their RD, while on all fours, in front of an audience. Said audience taking pictures. I can now say I have. Checked that off my list. (in context this will make so much more sense. lol.)

angiepants [one pocket at a time]: On Life as I... →

angiepantstakesontheworld: I won’t explain the unique Drexel ‘Quarter’ schedule. I won’t even start to explain what ‘Duty’, ‘Desk Hours’, ‘Staff Meetings’, ‘Rounds’, and just plain ‘Mandatory Events’ mean as an RA. What I am finally realizing? My Residents leave. They don’t stay forever. I may not be best friends…

Perception: My RA application →

nkoates: Since the moment I entered my residence hall in August, and a guy handed me the key to my room, I knew that I want to become a Resident Assistant (RA). An RA is a person who is there for the residents to help them with their college experience. I feel like I can serve as that person to so many…

jhuligan: Yo, so today i took a nap at around 6pm and i wake up to a loud knock on my door, my roommate takes off his headphones, removes himself from his mic and answers the door. There are four people there: two Resident Advisors and two Cops. Not exactly who you want to see when you open your door. I…

I got the RA position!!!

charmantnuit: Eeeeeeeee! Now I can move back on campus and be a total bamf. HAPPY DAAAAY~

Randomly University: Porn and Chicken Friday →

randomlyuniversity: As I was walking down the hallway to my place Friday, like always, I passed by my male neighbors door. Today, their door was open and I could hear them laughing. And as I walked by I saw something quite out of the ordinary. I passed, realized what I had seen, and doubled back. I saw a man…

Velleities and Carefully Caught Regrets: ALSO: →

conversationslips: I’m on call tonight, which means I have rounds at midnight and two AM, and then I can’t leave the building til 8am. Therefore, even though I would normally spend Saturday nights at school watching movies and doing homework in my room, I now want to do everything I can’t, including walking to 7/11…

Velleities and Carefully Caught Regrets:... →

conversationslips: I have to come up with a bulletin board by Wednesday, for the month of March. Walking the line between “cheesy” and “fun” and “seasonally relevant” and “interesting” is really, really difficult. My best three ideas right now are Spring Into Fashion (all-girls floor, fuck yeah), Women’s History…

angelapangelabobangela: I’m so exhausted. My headache is back and I just slept for a little while, mind you it is 9:30 on a Saturday night. My RA staff is doing a program tonight where we’re going into town and doing a movie for free for the first 50 people who signed up. I have to go, but it starts at midnight which makes me sad. I’m probably going to fall asleep in the middle of the movie....

i'm going to my first reslife conference...

teamsnape: irha here i come!!!!

tickingtimebombswon: 3rd year college students shouldn’t have to be told to shut up while a program is going on in the dorm. I mean, common courtesy much? It’s not that hard of a concept, especially if you’re 21 years old. Let’s grow up sometime people. I love my job, but as an RA I should not have to babysit you. I should not have to tell you to be quiet while a program that someone has...
