Your RA's work very hard, not just for you, but for the whole community. They work to provide a safe environment for everyone and it can be a very tough and demanding job where you might not see all the hard work they do. Make it a little easier on them, Tell them how much you appreciate the things they're doing, attend their programs, open the door for them when they come by, think twice before you call the duty phone in the middle of the night, and try not to violate the policy and you'll all get along just nicely.
