Dear Readers,

How is everything going? I hope that midterms are treating you well and that you are starting to get excited for Spring Break! Woo!

This past weekend I attended a Sub-Regional Conference held at SUNY Geneseo! I went with our NCC’s Tiff and Christina, and NRHH President, Chris. They are truly three of the most fantastic people (and they listen to great music…)At the conference, we participated in some neat ice-breakers and team-building activities. The theme of the conference was magic, and the Assistant Director of Resident Life put on a fantastic presentation intertwining magic with leadership. We had the opportunity to work with each other on some activities and then spent time in rountable discussions. It is always motivating to connect with other RHSA presidents and learn about what is going on with their organizations. I love NEACURH people. I love NEACURH energy. I love NEACURH… and I am pumped for Mini No-Frills!

On Monday, at our RHSA Associate Council meeting, we introduced one of the ice breakers that we learned at the conference. In a nutshell, one person starts and says something about them. Then, if you identify with the statement, you run and link arms with that individual. Then, you say a statement, and so-on, until we make a closed circle. The purpose of the activity is to show how we are all connected. Check on the lovely SUNY New Paltz RHSA AC!

On Tuesday, RHSA attended our monthly President’s Cabinet meeting, a meeting that our college administration holds which we are quite fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in. At these meetings, we have the chance to connect with the Student Association Executive Board and the SUNY New Paltz administration. It is one of the several instances we have to further act as a liaison between students and the administration, and improve the quality of life and enhance the college experience for as many students as possible.

And now it’s Wednesday-my oh my how time flies! I can’t believe it is almost Spring Break. Before we blink, it will be summer. I am so confused about what I want to do this summer, and next year! I love New Paltz for exposing me to so many great things, and providing me with so many choices, but I get crazy when I have to make decisions! I guess I need to look at this as a challenge, and grow from the decision making process!

Peaceee out! Enjoy! <3 Jessie

PS. Friday night, we are holding Buzz Karaoke in Lenape Hall, and working with the Office of Student Development , who will hold a fun craft upstairs. It is from 9-11pm, so you should come!
