I plan activities, you make excuses not to go. I don't plan activities, you complain about never doing anything and not knowing anyone on the floor. I do open cluster nights, you don't want to come out of your cluster.

WTF do you want me to do? I'm not going to force you to do activities, to meet people, to "create a sense of community." I can't do any of this for you - it all hinges on your getting off your asses and doing stuff.

From now on, I'm not planning any activities - if you want to do something, and you want funding, come ask me - I can help you plan it. But I'm not doing anything unless you guys ask. I'm done.

So hold a meeting and have people give you some ideas on activities they'd like to do.

Someone I know pennied the door on a conference room for Smith Hall, when the floor was having a brain storming session for ideas. That was priceless. ( this was at ISU, Watterson Towers.)

I can see the rant from you now :p

When I was in the dorms last year, my RA didn't do much.



None of us were much for going out, and the only thing we did during the year was go to westwood for burgers at around 10:00PM.



Nice to see a few people wearing their USC sweatshirts while looking at a bunch of Bruins walk by.



Yeah, that was the only thing we did. I'm surprised you're actually doing something :Q

That might change next qtr, ;). I don't have the energy to try, time after time.
