If you're an RA, all of the following residents will strike a memory with you.
1. The Visitor
Whenever you're on duty this one resident comes and talks and talks and talks. This definitely isn't a bad thing as it can break up the monotony of a quiet weekday; however, sometimes it can be a problem when you have to manage a crisis or help another resident, and they don't notice the struggle.
2. The Troublemaker
These are the fun residents who believe they can do no wrong and try to prove this by rebelling and making your job so much easier. When they are caught doing something wrong you are immediately a jerk, never mind the fact that what they were doing is against the rules.
3. The Ghost
In theory, this resident lives on your floor, but you never see them or hear them. There are rumored sightings, but nothing can be proven with hard evidence. Hopefully, one day this mythical resident will appear at a program, but you certainly aren't holding your breath waiting for that moment.
4. The Rocker
Music is great, but having someone else's music taste thrust upon you by thin walls and some impressive speakers can be the bane of any resident assistant's existence. It can upset neighbors, the people who live above and below you and for some reason, hardcore music lovers don't really understand phrases, such as "Please turn down your music," or, "It's after quiet hours." Sometimes you luck out, and they have similar music taste to yours, so even though you still have to talk to them about the noise, you can jam out while doing so.
5. The Future Resident Assistant
This is the one resident you dream about applying to be an RA. They end up making impromptu programs, are super easy to work with and would be the perfect RA in every way. So, you sit there and try to subtly nudge them into applying to be one next year.
