What am I doing with my life?

Why student affairs?

Whining students, aggressively angry parents, and endless days doing absolutely nothing. This is my life.

I’m bored. My ass hurts, and I am tired of answering the same questions over and over and over again. .

 So why do you ask did I chose to be in this field?

Was it because of the cool office supplies?

Or the fact that to be comfortable I have to sit on this?

Not even close.

I had what you may call a typical freshmen year in college. Filled with a drug dealing roommate, a dirty suite mate, and very few friends. My resident assistant was so not helpful. By the end of the year she had been let go. Which having wanted to let go an RA myself, I realize she must have been a huge mess if the RD wanted her out before helping with move out, and closing the building. Which for you non res-lifers, is a long process with lots of drama, paper works, crying, keys, and soul searching.

This spurred me into applying for the RA position myself because I wanted to help other students like my RA never did for me.

 By the end of my college career I realized that I had gotten more enjoyment through my Resident Assistant job than my internship in NY City. Thus I went on to grad school for Counseling, with a concentration in Student Affairs. I have moved to GA and now to New Orleans, and will definitely be moving again. (Though not any time soon).

While there are some issues with my job, I must say that I am enjoying living in this city, and the people that I am meeting. But it all comes down to the fact that I like to help students.

Next for me? I really want to teach. (which I have wanted to do in some form since 1^st grade, when I wanted to be a nun teacher. Yea the whole nun thing isn’t going to happen) I want to teach college students. That means another few degrees, Like an MBA, and then a PHD. Just a heads up. :D
