Any individual who has ever worked in Residence Life knows the position has its ups, has its downs, and has its moment that make you question why you even work there in the first place. Chandler Bing sums up the job perfectly in these 25 gifs.
1. That one new freshman who caught your eye during move-in week...
And they turn out to be your resident. Awkward!
2. That feeling when you finally finish your hall decorations.
3. During the first few weeks of the semester...
And everyone wants to change rooms because of their roommate conflicts.
4. Those residents who always overshare about their personal lives.
5. That one CA who wants to be the 'cool' CA...
And it reminds you of that dad who tries to be 'hip.'
6. Whenever you have a hall meeting...
And no one listens to a thing you have been saying.
7. The creepy basement you have to check when you go on rounds.
8. When your residents are being loud with their doors open.
9. Coming up with ideas for program planning...
10. And finding ways to bribe your residents to actually attend.
Like free condoms! That always works.
11. That one resident you're constantly reminding of the rules...
And they forget immediately five seconds later.
12. When you have to stay up until 2:00 A.M. for desk shifts.
13. You're just going about your day and somehow you run into an incident.
14. What you're really thinking during 3:00 A.M. lockouts.
15. How it feels when no one abides by quiet hours.
16. While on rounds, you check the bathrooms...
And you find your residents having sex in the showers.17. Those residents who refuse to wear any pants...
No matter how many times you ask them to.18. The ACs ask you to find residents to show their rooms during campus tours...
Or else you have to 'volunteer' to show yours.
19. When you have an incident and campus police say they'll be there 'shortly'...
And they arrive 15-30 minutes later.20. Those residents who always break the rules, but will still try to claim their innocence.
Could you be any more predictable?
21. All your friends are out having fun on the weekends...
But you're stuck inside because you're on-call.22. When the residents try to sneak past the desk on their way back from partying.
23. Waiting for next year's placements to be sent out can be nauseating.
24. During move out, you see that one resident who made your life hell all year....
And you pretend to care that they're finally leaving.25. When it's the end of the semester and you finally get to go home...
But you just don't know how to not be a CA.
