Usually people think that Resident Assistants are strict, unapproachable, and are just there to get you in trouble. So not the case. My RA Nicole is one of the nicest people I've met here. I actually spent quite some time with her today. I was in my room doing some work and Nicole knocked on my door to invite me to the soccer game. I really should've done my work, but she said I should go for just one half. And I did. The game was great and I got to know her a little more. Later tonight, Nicole had a pilates night down in the social lounge on the second floor. It was a small gathering, but it was a lot of fun and a good workout, too! Nicole's great, and I think all RA's should be able to have fun with their residents. But now I'm off to do all the work I put off today!
