The best way that I can describe what being a Resident Assistant is like is being on a rollercoaster. There are many ups and downs and pros and cons. There are good days and bad days like any other job or position, but being an RA has a special place in my heart. I love the job. I love the ups and downs and pros and cons. My coworkers make the bad days more doable and the good days even greater. My favorite part about being an RA is the fact that I have a chance to positively impact someone's life. I honestly believe that this position has changed my life for the better. My fellow RAs at Florida State are some of the most interesting and incredible people I have ever met. Being an RA is a one of a kind experience. From the nights you're on duty, especially on the weekends where things can get rowdy, to the days you plan programs for your residents, here are 10 things every RA at Florida State can relate to.

When it's 11:59 p.m. on a Sunday and you haven't started your weekly interactions.

When your residents have meaningful conversations with you.

When your Bulletin board isn't finished and it's due tomorrow.

When the resource room is out of ink, paper, butcher paper, etc.

When you finish writing a maxient report.

When your hallway looks fantastic and all your hard work paid off.

When you're on rounds and hear clanking bottles.

When your boss gives you a compliment.

When you plan an awesome program and your residents attend.

When it's the end of the year and classes are over, but your residents start leaving.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
