At Rockhurst (and probably many other schools),
all of the RA’s (Resident Assistants) have to put on a certain number of
programs per semester for their residents. The programs are always educational,
fun, or relaxing activities that promote hall unity or residence hall unity. Last
night, we had a building-wide program called “Kindergarten Night” where we all
just acted like kindergarteners for a night (I like to state the obvious
sometimes). We all watched Shrek, colored giant coloring pages of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles, made our own play dough, and ate animal crackers,
goldfish, and fruit snacks. It may sound a little silly, but it was a lot of
fun. Our play dough even turned into ammunition at one point in the night and
we started launching giant globs of it at each other while using chairs and couches
as cover. |

Today is the last day of classes before finals
begin and the program was a great way to prepare and spend the night. Sometimes
it is hard to remember to sit back and laugh when everyone has their fair share
of projects and papers due within the next week. During this time of year, one
can often feel as if they are facing “impending doom” as my friend Sydney put
it so nicely last night and although that sounds a little too intense, it is
partially true. Everyone has a lot to do and not enough time to do it, so it is
easy to get caught up in the stress and chaos of your surroundings. I am just
happy to have RA’s who understand and go out of their way to plan something fun
for us when they are just as busy.
