Hey there all my Grizzlies in the Port Dorm, I am Robin, your friendly Resident Advisor in 3A. A quick bit about me: I’m a Senior, an Online Communications Major (which is basically a fancy way of saying I’m majoring in the Internet), this is my third year as a RA and I rarely yell, so please don’t be afraid to come to me with any problems you are having. My door is always open, even when it’s closed.
When I was an RA in the Pioneer Dorm last year I got the sense that people didn’t really know how to talk to me. Me being an RA they always expected I was going to bust them for having someone in their room, write them up for having their music too loud, or that I was just a generally scary person. Which just isn’t true. You can keep your music as loud as you’d like!
I figured that if I started this blog, gave you guys a peak into what goes on in the mind of an RA, you wouldn’t be so weird around me (plus, I get course credit for blogging. Bonus!). After all, I’m a college student, too. I’m on scholarship here, and this RA job is a condition of that scholarship. We have the same workload, same pressures, and same concerns. We even share one big thing in common: we’re both worried about YOU.
It’s Summer Session, there are not a lot of us in this dorm, so let’s all try to be friends. Please feel free to comment, too!
Robin
P.S. Oh, and I was just kidding before, keep your music down.

Hey Robin! Is it OK if we blast Nickelback? Cause you know they rock.

Very cool of you to put this up. I’ve always wondered what it was like to be a RA.
