I love my job. I'm a resident assistant on the 3rd floor and I love it! My residents are great, my staff is awesomely supportive, and even being on duty in the office is fun.
When I started this job I thought it would be boring and pointless (after all, who cares about RAs?) But now, I'm getting noticed on campus as a helper, I have a great support group from people I would have never associated with otherwise, my references for summer jobs are amazing, and I'm just having fun!
In the office, when I sit on duty for 5 hours a night (not every night thank goodness!) I can do homework, have the TV on for background noise and greet everyone who comes in the building. Residents wave hello and goodbye, some even stop by for a minute or two for a chat. My fellow RAs pop in to see if I need any food or help, and I'm the person people come to for help. :) That's a great feeling, to know that people need you and more importantly they are coming to you specifically.
Not to mention my bulletin boards and door decorations! I was so psyched to make them this semester, it's a great perk of the job. And now that the semester is starting I'm also doing programs. (Gearing up for a Valentine's Day dinner date program, SO EXCITED)
Besides, I just like the job. I enjoy being known on campus and having people want to ask me for help. I love being an RA. Best job in the world.
