<p>^ “you get to see the drunk losers stumbling in”</p>
<p>See, I am one of those so called “losers” and that is precisely why I wouldn’t want to be an RA. It kills your social experiences.</p>
<p>I lived in Prather last year, and I actually went to dang near every single stupid little dorm activity they had. Mainly for the free food, but it was really just a way to kill the time before I went out to bars/clubs/parties/frat/etc to have fun. When the RA sponsored event was wrapping up, I got to go out and have fun, most the RA’s had to return to their room, work the desk(s) or do other business.</p>
<p>(And btw I went to my dorm’s version of “sex in the dark”. It was me, three other people I knew, and three RA’s I knew. We ALL knew each other’s voices, so the point of the program was killed. We ended up talking about sports and movies the whole time.)</p>
<p>Instead of being an RA, you should look at real internships or jobs around the area that pay more than minimum wage. Unless you have a useless major where you’ve learned no skills at all, you can get a job doing something you’re actually qualified for. That looks even BETTER on a resume than “see the drunk losers stumbling in”.</p>
