1. Let's face it, being an RA sometimes sucks.
2. You spend countless hours on door tags and bulletin boards that'll just end up getting ripped down.
3. Or even worse, having to cancel plans with your friends because you're on duty.
4. You pray every night you'll get to fall asleep without being woken up by that dreaded duty phone ring.
5. And there's no doubt you've walked out of an incident at 4 a.m. the night before a huge exam.
6. It's truly a miracle to get a full night's sleep while on duty.
7. We've all had that moment of pure fear when a resident emails you and says it's an emergency.

8. But really their "emergency" is just about how annoying their messy roommate is.
9. You've gone through so much training you're practically a pro at mediations, policies, and emergency protocols.
10. And you've even had to share your valuable RA wisdom with the newbies.
11. You've probably had your fair share of ~awkward conversations~.
12. Because it seems like literally everyone has a smelly roommate.
13. You practically have to force your residents into participating in anything.
14. Especially the program you spent A LOT of time and energy on.
15. You're constantly trying to talk to residents who literally don't care about what you have to say.
