Top Reasons Why Your RA Is Great
G. Tatiana Amador

When I transferred to a four year University, I never thought that I would end up working for it. By my second semester at Campbell I was hired for start working for Residence Life. Working with Res Life has brought a lot of joy to my last two years of college. I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to work with such a great team of people. Just like with any job there have been good and bad things to come my way but nothing beat the satisfaction I receive from helping my residents. I love my residents and try to do anything that I can to help them. Even when I wasn't an RA myself, I still enjoyed having them around and being able to come to them with any questions I had. RA's are not always well liked, sadly. A lot of students don't appreciate all the things that RA's do. So, here are a few reasons why I think Resident Assistants are great and why you should too.


1. They give you food

2. They give you advice

3. They are always rooting for you

4. They know the daily college struggle

5. They make mistakes too

6. They are always available

7. They always plan events for you

8. They worry about what you think

9. They will always want to be your friend

10. They worry about you

11. They are just like you


The life of a RA is a little hectic, but it is one of the most rewarding jobs a college student can have. If you think some of these reasons apply to your RA, don't forget to thank them for all their hard work!

P.S- RA applications are out for next semester at most schools! Check it out, talk to your RA, ask questions, you might have just found a new job!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
