To CA or not to CA?
Ok I've got a decision to make. Do I do continue to be a community advisor next year or do I find an apartment. Both will be way fun I'm sure. Having my own apartment would give me more freedom. I could actually cook again. I'd have more time to do my homework. I could have people over to my place and have it not be in my room.
But I've had such a good time being a CA here in Comstock. I don't know if I'd want to give it up. It's a free room, free food, on campus. You can't get better than that. Of course, I'd be 6000 dollars richer if I stayed being a CA.
What to do what to do what to do.

If you like being a CA, stick with it. The world of renting ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Joe-
From my experience as a CA for 2 1/2 years, I think there comes a point to move on. It's fun being a CA; however, gaining more independence and expanding your horizons is also important. I don't think you'll gain any more dramatic experiences being in the CA role next year as you have in the past. It's an excellent exerience to look back on.
I would push for you to get your own apartment, well maybe that's just becuase it would be one more place to party...;) Good luck with your decision...

I say no to being a CA. Yes there are many benefits of doing it. Free food and room, however to me the idea of cleaning up after some freshman has puked all over the place just sounds not only irritating but disgusting as well.
Of course the decision is yours, I was simply telling you what I would do if I were in your shoes.

nah, puke doesn't bother me. after i slipped in it one time barefoot while i was getting ready for work i've become sort of immune to it. it smelled delicious too. i've decided that no type of work is below me, just as long as it's part time.
disgusting, yes. impossible, no.
however lately i'm becoming more and more convinced that i'm not returning. i'm 99% sure i'm going to get an apartment.
