The best way that I can describe what being a Resident Assistant is like is being on a rollercoaster. There are many ups and downs and pros and cons. There are good days and bad days like any other job or position, but being an RA has a special place in my heart. I love the job. I love the ups and downs and pros and cons. My coworkers make the bad days more doable and the good days even greater. My favorite part about being an RA is the fact that I have a chance to positively impact someone's life. I honestly believe that this position has changed my life for the better. My fellow RAs at Florida State are some of the most interesting and incredible people I have ever met. Being an RA is a one of a kind experience. From the nights you're on duty, especially on the weekends where things can get rowdy, to the days you plan programs for your residents, here are 10 things every RA at Florida State can relate to.

When it's 11:59 p.m. on a Sunday and you haven't started your weekly interactions.

When your residents have meaningful conversations with you.

When your Bulletin board isn't finished and it's due tomorrow.

When the resource room is out of ink, paper, butcher paper, etc.

When you finish writing a maxient report.

When your hallway looks fantastic and all your hard work paid off.

When you're on rounds and hear clanking bottles.

When your boss gives you a compliment.

When you plan an awesome program and your residents attend.

When it's the end of the year and classes are over, but your residents start leaving.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
