Life is not always school, homework, or class.  Mr. Mercedes, Assistant Director of Housing, asked Moe Abdelwhab to find some students willing to help him and his girlfriend move some furniture. I volunteered when Moe stopped me in the hallway and I am glad he did. The couple hours we spent helping were full of new knowledge, opportunities, and fun. Mr. Mercedes is a cool guy and is not only easy to talk to but he is very candid in his speach. It was a workout moving all the furniture but playing tennis for Morehouse keeps me in top shape. After we finished, they treated us to lunch. Great afternoon

When we met last time, we discussed the different roles in a relationship, and what are some expectations from each side of the relationship. This time, teaming up with Kappa Alpha Psi, we discussed chivalry. we began by defining chivalry and attained an adult perspective from a parent on the panel. we ended the discussion by agreeing that chivalry is not day but it has changed throughout the year.

As a returning RA, I am very excited for this semester. Unlike last year i have many more residents and a lot more responsibility on my floor. I also get to reach out to many more residents and impact them as well.

Resident Advisor Council Meeting. In Mays Hall Lounge/OHRL Office, RA’s meet every other Tuesday. Mediated by Mr. Green and Dean Washington, RAC meetings are where a group of RA’s decide and plan the RA socials and the RA summer and winter training. It also serves an important outlet for concerns/problems in the halls and those of the RA staff. Having direct access to Dean means issues can be handled quicker and important news can be passed on to other RAs more swiftly.  I enjoy the meetings as they usually are quite funny

Tonight(Thursday)  D’ondre Swails and I  had a listening party at 8pm in the Mays Hall Lounge titled “What’s My Favorite Word”, where we discussed the “B word” along with other derogatory terms. We talked about how these terms have become engrained into hip hop culture, as well as the frequency of their use in daily conversation and their place in society. In conclusion, we discussed what we can do as students to promote the use of more empowering language and the Free Zone.

Last Night Myself, Tyvonne Boykin, Peace and Love AUC and the Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi showcased a program celebrating black love. There, we had performances from many students around the AUC. Students from CAU, Spelman, and Morehouse interacted with each other throughout the program.

He had been hiding, but I finally caught my last resident and had him talk with me about the R.E.A.C.H questions. And now, I AM DONE!

Its internship season. What better way to celebrate the stress of interviews than a quick tutorial on how to tie tie knots, bow-ties, and when to wear either. Give-aways are always welcomed too. Well-dressed might be apart of the old regime’s message but it was a universal value that all Morehouse Men should uphold.

Last night Alex and I hosted a program where we tried to teach our residents the different ways to tie a tie and how to have a successful interview. We also taught them how to dress appropriately. We were both amazed at how a few spelmanites came out to support as well.

Happiness is a goal that everyone strives for. College and especially life will throw curve-balls that can significantly impact that goal. From time to time it is good to read some encouraging words or advice. That is why I posted some tips to facilitate success if grades are getting a student down, some warning signs of abuse if a boy/girlfriend/boo/significant other/”friend” actions are making a student unhappy, and some tips to improve communication that might help fix some relationship problems.

The Resident Advisor program at Morehouse is top notch for 3 key reasons. We strive for excellence as the vision statement “in order to become a premiere collegiate housing and residential life” indicates but the level of involvement of Dean Washington in the management of this vision and the programs ability to mold leaders and shape responsible young men are the main 2 reason why this college has a premiere program
