Look At Her

Look at her

In a pink bow and ruffles

A baby girl with beautiful curls

Look at her

So innocent and kind

Slowly growing that naïve mind

Look at her

She is looking at him

Falling in love, with trustful eyes

Look at her

As she lays with this boy

Moment of love, becomes a sin

Look at her

On the very next day

Everyone knows, legs on display

Look at her

With tears in hazel eyes

Crying the cherished moment away

Look at her

In the dreaded hallway

Hear the rumors, gossip, and lies

Look at her

Underneath the pink bows

Do you see the “slut” they called her?

Look at him

As he basks in the light

Praised for the win that took “no fight”

11 Things All Call Center Workers Can Empathize With Better Than Anyone

Youtube

This semester I started my journey as a member of my University's Alumni Outreach Team. This means a lot of things, but primarily it means that I get to make phone calls to parents and alumni two nights a week to update contact information, collect things like business cards and volunteer hours, and even ask for money.

Because every other week is a week in hell.

1. It's the only week when you can go out every day and not want to rip your hair out on Sunday realizing how much you actually have to do.

2. There's always something going on, whether it's parties, welcome back socials, or free food events for the most random things.

3. The classes never run the full time...

4. You suddenly have a million friends again after not seeing everyone over break.

5. You have a fresh new meal plan again.

6. You're optimistic about how great you'll do this semester... at least for now.

7. You get a feel for how strict your professors are. How easy is it to text during class? Can I get away with not buying the textbook? Can I nap?

8. Everyone is in the same boat with the incredibly awkward ice breakers.

9. But regardless, you couldn't be more glad to be back.

Being on a first name basis with campus police and administrators.

1. When all your friends are hanging out and having fun and you’re stuck working desk.

2. When your decorations are due by midnight and it’s 11:30 PM and you’re still painting.

3. And the night before your residents all move in you’re running around taping up door tags in your hall.

4. But you know better than anyone that by week two, some wasted stranger is going to rip them down anyway.

5. Then having to change your hallway theme again during midterm week.

6. Roommate conflicts that happen before the semester even starts.

7. When you’re finally getting ready to go to bed and you stumble upon a random incident.

8. The tedious documentation that follows an already overwhelming incident.

9. Parents calling you about an issue with their student, and you’re wondering how they got your phone number in the first place.

10. You need to come up with a fun, educational programming idea, but you know nobody is going to show up without the promise of food.

11. Running into a resident at a bar or a party.

12. You remind yourself on a daily basis that you do not have to snap every time you agree with something someone says.

13. That awkward 3 A.M. encounter when your resident knocks on your door, half naked, asking for a condom.

14. Doing your nightly rounds of the building and trying to figure out where that odor of marijuana is coming from.

15. When the resident who has been documented on three separate occasions has bloodshot eyes tells you they haven’t been smoking tonight.

16. Being on a first-name basis with campus police and administrators.

17. Handling an incident that you thought only happened on TV or in the movies.

18. When you’re halfway through the semester and you see residents who have never left their room before.

19. Fire alarms are absolutely terrifying, but it has nothing to do with the possibility of there being a fire…

20. Training. More training. And continued training.
