I'm a biology major, mostly out of interest in health and healthcare. I'm graduating this year and will be headed to medical school in the fall. It's exciting to start looking towards the next chapter in my education. Before you ask: nope, I'm not set on a particular specialty just yet. I've got a "keep my doors open" philosophy about the whole thing, and I get the feeling that I'd be happy in a number of fields.
As the title to this post suggests, I work as a resident adviser (RA) in Cate Center, specifically in David L. Boren Hall. I love the job because I get to talk to other students and make friendships as part of my workday. It's always neat to see someone on campus who used to be a resident on my floor; I'm always happy to learn what they've been up to since. The residents on my floor this year are very active as a community which is a gift and a curse: sometimes reigning them in means being the bad guy (but hey, that's seldom!).
As far as hobbies go, I play video games when I find the time, and like to go running when I work up the motivation (so far this new year's resolution is falling flat). Every weekend, my pals and I play Dungeons and Dragons, which I swear isn't nearly as nerdy as it gets a rep for being. I get the feeling actually that there are a lot of similarities between DnD and this class! Both are exercises in storytelling, just in different ways.
