Open Letter To Moffat's RA's & AC

Because it's time to move out of the freshman building

Open Letter To Moffat's RA's & AC
Keystone College

Dear Residents Assistants And Resident Director Of My Freshman Dorm Building:

Thank you for welcoming me to Keystone College before I even moved in.

As I walk into my sophomore year, I remember everything you helped me with from me locking myself out to the pointless questions like, "Can we have a tent in our suite?"

Thank you for being my first friends even though I thought you were just my babysitter. I think it takes a lot of people a very long time to realize that the residence staff are there to help us and protect us, and I am thankful that you guys made it easy for me to befriend you.

Mostly, thank you for making me feel like Keystone College was my house away from my home. You made me never want to leave Moffat. (Crazy, right?)

Living in the dorms could be a little scary and a little crazy, but you made it comfortable. You were the people who always smiled and waved when we walked past you.

I knew I could talk to you and joke with you when something happened and I panicked.

I knew I could talk to you when those two friends weren't getting along, and I didn't know what to do.

I knew I could talk to you when I was stressed about my first finals week and inconveniently suffered a cold.

You made us feel more welcomed. If we did something stupid, you'd let us know. You wouldn't freak out, and scream. You'd come to us calmly and talk to us. We became a family, if only a temporary one.

A piece of me will always be grateful to have had you to guide me when I asked for advice and to cast a blind eye when you knew it was better for us.

You let us make our mistakes and sometimes pay for them (the boys' lounge couch), and you let us be freshman.

Because you knew freshman make mistakes and do dumb things, as they should.

So, to the freshman who come to the building next year, it seems like they're up your butt about things, and that they can be "mean" because you need to clean your room a bit more than you're used to, but listen to them and talk to them. They're not bad people. I promise.


Thank you Moffat Staff, you're the best.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
