I arrived to school a week earlier then most students. Due to the fact that i received a job at st. John Fisher as a resident assistant. There were early mornings everyday, as early as 6am. Long days. And late nights as late as 1am. Long lectures throughout training. And food that was ehhh. But this past week and a half has honestly been one of my most favorite times at fisher. I've met some great people and shared some super fun times. We got super hype and rowdy welcoming in the new freshmen. Got all fancy and ate dinner with the school president. Did a ropes course in the middle of the woods. And we got crafty decorating our res halls. Being an RA requires a lot. I was an RA last year, but something is telling me that this year is going to be even better. I really enjoyed this past week of training.

Back To College I Go

I just got back to Fisher this past Sunday. Man oh man has it been hectic! PLUS I haven't even started classes. Here at SJFC I'm a Resident Assistant. Therefore I arrive about a week and half earlier. (So that's about 10 lost days of summer, 10 extra days at school, 10 extra days that are just Draining!) So it has been a bunch of lectures and sessions. I start at 8am and I'm done at 8pm. Yup! 12 LONG hours sitting and listening, and the occasional three food breaks. Can you say draining!

One thing that is definitely messing me up, is my huge lack of sleep. After I get done at 8pm I still have to come back to my room and have some me time. Me time is crucial I believe. I straighten up my room, talk to my boyfriend, watch TV, explore Pinterest, and of course shower and all that. However, it keeps me up to one or 2am. And then the next morning I'm up at 7am getting ready. So what is that 5 hours of sleep? NOT GOOD.

However, I love it. Especially this year. It  has been a good experience so far. I've met so many nice people. Hopefully, I'll make some friends this year. I'm also so excited to be able to get creative with the programs that I do for my residents. I have so many ideas running through my head and I can't wail until I get to execute them!

So yea I'm back at college and hopefully this year will be a good year!
