Me: *sees fellow RA from another building who I haven’t seen in forever*
Fellow RA: *sees me, screams, and starts to run towards me for a hug*
Me: *starts to run but stops* WAIT!
Fellow RA: *stops* Right. No running.
Me and Fellow RA: *walking* RA Swag.

…but we appreciate the dialogue that has stemmed from Student Leader Problems. We are interested both in making light of some of the common thoughts many of us experience as student leaders, and in talking about more serious challenges and how to handle them. For all the meetings and emails and late night calls and other minor sacrifices, we get to look around and see that we are contributing to our communities! So, is it alright to make fun of our roles every once and a while? Yes. Are they actually problems? No. Our involvement is what drives us.
