3. Or the constant ringing of the duty phone...at all times of the night:

4. The fear that your residents have of you during the first couple of weeks of school when they see you:

5. But once they realize that you're cool, they start to not listen to you:

6. So you start to crack down and now you're "the mean RA":

7. ...which causes the whole hall (or building) to hate you:

8. Or having the fear of taking the most chaotic weekend(s) in campus history:

9. Which causes you to have to do...PAPERWORK:

11. The littlest things start to scare you...like fire alarms, sirens, or even screaming:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
