So yes it is august and I haven't written on here since Christmas cause at times when i wanted to something came up or i had no desire cause of events. Now that i have changed this blog a bit I thought i might let you all know about the job.
It's a fun great exciting job that i will treasure for the rest of my life. Yet at time it was difficult i had tough times with some situations that i did not understand at the time and i have learned from it or let it go and maybe someday i will understand.
Winter quarter is always fun in college this was a time where many people find out who they have as there friends or figure out how they life this college life. We got a lot of roommate problems and drama around the hall. everyone liked to stay in since it was cold and your only outside for a bit when you are outside. We had a few newcomers that came later on so they met new friends and in a hall winter quarter you really start seeing the cliques of friends. In a way its like high school but different hard to explain. Even among the staff we had our differences but I'm happy to say by the end of year it was all resolved and we are great friends.
2 of my favorite programs that quarter was the SUPERBOWL! and a sleep over night in the lounge! lots of food games and fun.
SPRING BREAK!
MINION THEMED OF COURSE! ( I had so much fun making decor for this theme)
People come back and start to realize oh wow i move in 3 months, leave this hall and don't see most these people i live with now ever again that much. people start wondering what they are doing in the next year, realize they are living in a apartment or back in the halls. We the staff of course informed them many of times that they needed to find out what they were doing.
I start to realize oh wow this is the last quarter with "my baby residents" last time as an RA for a while as I'm living off campus for the first time and on my own.
Of course there was the usual drama and few things i got to help figure out and stay neutral to . but mostly this quarter i just wanted to enjoy my time with the residents who are now really close friends to me make sure that they have a great time at there last bit of there freshman year and encourage them on the next year.
I am leaving out so much since its been awhile and plus i don't want to get in to detail and that be bad cause who knows.
spring quarter i wanted to have everyone enjoy the outdoors before it was windy or steaming hot. One program i did with a co-RA was "Outdoor fun!"
First one we played 4-square and it was a hit! everyone loved it and had so much fun!
also had a few more but the end of the year banquet was fun we all did events alot of people came out and it was a last hurray for everyone. though it was sad everyone was leaving we had a great time.
water balloon fights/toss, volleyball, BBQ, Paint twister and lots of pictures.
I had made a video of the year for everyone to see and be able to remember their great year!

Like i said I'm leaving alot out but i may update more about it.
The last week was finals and checkouts. I felt so sad/happy it was interesting. Yes i cried a little as a few were leaving. people giving hugs and people rushing out it was alot but also many memories and great friends made over the year.
I was so happy to be able to be a friend, mentor, counselor, really anything to my residents and most of all Mama J ha ha i love it.
That job was so great i loved it and i hope if anyone gets even the chance of being an RA that they would take it. if they don't get it at least they tried. it was a wonderful experience and who knows maybe ill go back. just gotta figure some stuff out first.
Well bye for now and ill update soon! :)
