Things I Will Not Miss Saying....{My Life as an RD}

It's almost been a month since I was a Resident Director at Lenoir-Rhyne. I miss a lot of things about the job, and the school. I loved my staff(s), my co-workers, my boss(es) and I even loved my building {that will luckily be renovated this summer} even though it's an oldie goldie. But nights like tonight, when I can take a shower and lay in bed and read a book in peace and quiet makes me reminisce on some of the funny {and some not-so-funny} things I've had to say over the last two years that I will not miss as much. ;) I've compiled a list {that may or may not be ongoing} for your entertainment.

Things I am NOT going to miss saying now that I'm no longer a Resident Director:

• Tripp, quit blowing that horn! {I don't know why that's the 1st thing that came to my mind.}
• Don't throw trash out of your windows.
• Whoever's tossing water balloons out onto oncoming traffic, stop. 
• Don't be 'that guy.'
• Oh, stuff was stolen out of your room? Well then you probably shouldn't have left your door unlocked.
• Lenoir-Rhyne doesn't make the alcohol drinking age 21, so don't blame Lenoir-Rhyne.
• Just because Lenoir-Rhyne is a private school, doesn't mean it can make its own rules and legalize smoking marijuana.
• Here's some bug spray.
• If I have to come back again tonight, I'm gonna be pissed.
• What are they DOING up there?!
• The faucet drips. It can't be fixed. Consider it a noise to soothe you to sleep.
• I can hear the person above me peeing. 
• Are you kidding me? {In more than one reference}
• Jacob, security does not want a copy of your transcript.
• There's a flood on first upper. {Had to say that one a couple times too.}
• No, I don't want to hang out. It's 3:30 in the morning. I want to sleep! 
• Someone burnt Easy Mac and we had to evacuate the building.
• Do you smell smoke?
• You know I can see you hiding behind that door.
• You know I can see you hiding behind your closet curtain.
• You know you can't have all these animals in here.
• Whose baby do I hear crying?
• I know you wrote it in sidewalk chalk, but that's offensive.
• Yes, I do think you are a chain smoker.
• No, we can't have alcohol at our educational programs. Or our social programs.
• Seriously, that guy gives me the creeps.
• If you could play football for USC, then what are you doing here? Yeah, that's what I thought.
• No, you can't have my number. 
• Yes, my boyfriend is white. Why?
• Seriously, twice in one weekend? 
• I'm sorry the machine took your dollar. Find a partner and I'm turning my head for 5 seconds. If you haven't shaken the chips out of the machine by then, then you're out a dollar. Or you can go to the business office during business hours tomorrow.
• No, you can't take the furniture from the lobby to your room.

I am sure there are more but still....that's a good bit to start the list off!! My residents were entertaining to say the least & definitely kept me on my toes! What an experience it was to be able to be an RD. :) Would recommend the job to everyone but wouldn't recommend the job to just anyone, if you know what I mean! After reading that list, you may be surprised to hear that I really will miss being an RD.
