Martian's Riddle Roundup: RAs at Riddle

So Here at Embry Riddle, we have some of the coolest RA's. RA stands for "resident assistant", which pretty much means they make sure we go to class, and follow the rules, and don't get drunk on the weekends. Also, at least as freshmen, they come once a month to make sure our rooms are clean. There's 22 or so RA's. There's five freshman halls, five suite/apartment-style upperclassmen halls, and 4 "temporary" dorms, (which is where I live.) Here's a handful of the RAs at Riddle.

So I guess I'll start out with some of the freshman RAs...

This is Jennifer. She's in charge of Hall one, floor one. She's super cool, puts on great events, and can usually be found around campus smiling.

This is Tessa. She lives on Hall one, floor three. She's actually suitemates with a very old friend of mine. Her suitemate has known me since I was thirteen. Anyway, Tessa is pretty cool, she's a member of RHA and is a global security major. Tessa is really nice to everybody and is a really happy person and a really hard worker.

.This is Eddie. He works on hall two, floor two. He's pretty cool, and very well-known around campus. He's a really friendly guy, he always tells really good jokes, and he's always willing to lend a helping hand. I've never met a person who knew Eddie and didn't like him, he really is that well-liked.





This is Demi, He works on Hall 2, floor three. Hall two is where I hang out a lot, so I definitely see him around quite a bit. Demi is a good guy, he works really hard and all his residents love him. He's coming back as an upperclassmen RA next year, and it's safe to say everyone is really excited, as Demi is really fun and plans great hall events

So I've mentioned RA Jo before. Joanna is in charge of Hall Three, Floor Three. She's on the same floor as my friend Kristin, in fact, and one of my coworkers, Courtney. She's really nice, she's a strong leader and very independent minded. A mechanical Engineering Major, she plans to work with helicopters when she graduates.

 This is Kelly, of Hall 5, floor 3 fame. She's a member of our other campus sorority, Alpha Sigma Tau. She and I were in psychology together last semester. She's really smart, a hard worker, and is extremely helpful too. People love Kelly because she is soft-spoken and kind. She has a great sense of humor, and works well with other residents. She also gets excited about events, and is happy just because she can be, which is a great attribute.She's an excellent RA, and a few of my friends live on her floor.

So These are RAs Amanda and Candice. Amanda, as I've mentioned, is unofficially my RA. She checks up on my going to classes, makes sure i know about campus events, and is pretty much my go-to person for problems. Amanda won't be an RA next year though, unfortunately.
Candice is officially my RA for where i live when I'm NOT staying at my friend's house. Candice is really smart, outgoing, and has the amazing ability to bring our entire hall together when ten minutes before we were arguing about who left moldy eggshells in the sink. Candice will be a freshman RA next year. She'll do really well.








This is Hannah. She's super sweet, says hi to everyone, and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She's a flight student, and will be an RA next year for freshmen. Right now, she lives in the Village, Hall seven. She has the amazing ability to put a smile on your face no matter what, and she has a great spirit, too.

This is just a roundup of some of the RA's on campus. There's a whole fantastic group of them, and I love interacting with all of them. Sorry I couldn't fit them all on here, but I promise they're ALL a great bunch of people. 

And that's this week's Riddle Roundup

Fun and Friends at Embry-Riddle

So this is one of my BEST friends, Phina Smith. She and I met on the first day at Riddle,and bonded instantly. People confuse us as twins-I'll let you agree or disagree with that. we went trick-or-treating together on halloween, and we play nerf together, and she introduced me to a game i've become quite a fan of, Plague Inc. 

So this is my boyfriend. His name is James. He and I met in humanities, and, as it turns out, both of us had a crush on each other for a month before he decided to say something. (Ladies, let this be a lesson to you- don't be afraid to say something first! He might actually feel the same way!) He and I have a lot of the same interests, too. I am so lucky to have him in my life. 

So this is pretty early on in the semester, RA Jo and Jason (Who is now known as Sensei and is dating Phina) and a small group of my friends played Ninja in the student Union. It was really a fun time.

(UPDATE: i don't hang out with this group much anymore.)

there's a really good chinese place out in town called the Canton Dragon. Here's a bunch of us going out to eat!

So this is my RA, Candice, and my unofficial RA, Amanda. Amanda encourages me to go to class, do my homework, and also helps me when i have any problems. She also makes sure I get invited to all the hall events for Hall 2, Floor 1, the hall she is in charge of. How did I become her "Unofficial resident"? well, Phina lives on that floor, so i started hanging around there and got to know Amanda pretty well. 

This is Amanda, and her boss, Jess. Jess is also a really good friend. The BCA on her shirt? that's the club she's a part of that puts on really cool campus activities.

This is Rachel. Technically Seraphina's roommate, but, I spend so much time in her room with Seraphina, that she's practically my roommate too. She's in a campus sorority called Alpha Xi  Delta. She seems to enjoy it. She loves video games. I love hanging out with her, and i know if i ever need to study, even if Phina isn't home, Rachel will let me in. She's the best Roommate!















So this is Kristin. She's my tennis partner, and we take Digital Circuits together. She's from Minnesota and is really fun to hang out with. She comes over to do homework, or watch Les Mis, or eat pizza, or sometimes all three, pretty often. I love having her over, because she also helps me keep my room neat and organized, which is most definitely my weakness!




























These are some of my suitemates from Hall 4. I only lived there for awhile before moving on, due to some problems we encountered. But anyway, on the right is my (now former) roommate, Heidi, and on the left is Kristiana and Christina, who are roommates. Christina is also in both my Physics and Math Classes, and will rat me out if i'm not present and accounted for. But it's okay, I know she's looking out for me, and she's so sweet!

I guess I'll leave it at that. I hope you have a pretty good idea of who some of my best friends are here. Here are some group shots, for anyone who i may have forgotten. Stay tuned for more of my Martian Mayhem out here in Arizona!
