Playing a part in any university's residential life is an important affair. When asked the question "Do you want to be an RA?" a lot of people say that they'd consider applying for the job. Although I'm not cool enough to be an RA, I am a Housing Government Representative (HGR) for my dorm community. After three weeks of training and bonding with my team, I've composed a list of signs of telltale signs that ResLife is a huge component of your life:

1. Community is on your frequently used words list.

Without even trying, community pops up in your sentences. It pops up when you're explaining ResLife. It pops up when you're explaining your team. It pops up when you talk about your dorm experience.

2. You find yourself inadvertently trying to be sustainable.

No! You can put that in compost, not the trash!

3. You know what it's like to try to get work done in a loud, overcrowded office.

4. You know the struggles of having only broken printers.

5. You've got thousands of awkward icebreakers in your back pocket.

You've been through the torture of hundreds of icebreakers, but now you can share your abounding icebreaker wisdom with others.

6. You've been to enough motivational and instructional seminars to last you a lifetime.

7. Free food now holds a new meaning.

Not only does free food excite you because, well, free food, it also means people will come to your events!

8. You find yourself snapping way too often.

You like chocolate covered pretzels? Yas girl, I feel you! *snaps snaps snaps*

9. Your expectations for people coming to events has significantly lowered.

Regardless, you will try your hardest to get people to come to your programs.

10. You joined looking for a team and found a family.
