Actually, Your College CA CAN Be Your Friend, Too

CA's aren't there to just do room checks,

Actually, Your College CA CAN Be Your Friend, Too

As my first semester as a college freshman comes to an end, I would like to take the time to thank one of my CA's.

Coming into college, I was always told to hide everything from my CA's and not to try and get to know them. I was taught that your CA was there to catch you doing things you weren't supposed to. They were the monitors to take away the fun you were supposed to be having in college.

The truth is, you can have a lot of fun with your CA, and they truly don't want to do all the paperwork, so they don't want to catch you doing things you shouldn't be.

My CA's are people that I have become very close with in college. I know that I can go to them with anything and always talk to them. One CA, in particular, I have become very close with. We are good friends and consider each other family.

Lexi is there to tolerate my crazy, have many laughs with me, and pick me up from the airport on my way back from my trips home. Not to mention she is always up for late night food adventures when needed.

She is the friend that will help you with your homework and the friend that will distract you from that same homework...

Lexi's family has been my family when I am in college and even when I go home to New York. They are always there for phone calls and visits when I need them.

If I didn't take the step of ignoring the things I was told about CA's before I got to college, I would never have built these relationships.

So, Lexi, thank you for being there for me no matter what. Thank you for distracting me from my homework. Thank you for going with me in late night food adventures, and thank you for being my family.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
