Welcome Home, Lions! I am Aaron Johnson, Area Coordinator for Washington, St. Tammany, Pride, and Zachary Taylor Halls. Over the past 4 years I have worked for University Housing as a Resident Assistant and now as an Area Coordinator. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Southeastern, and I am currently enrolled in the History Graduate Program. While obtaining my undergraduate degree, I was heavily involved with many extracurricular activities including the Student Government Association and several strategic initiative committees on campus. I am so excited that you have chosen to live on campus this academic year! There are many exciting upcoming events this semester including Residence Hall Association events, football games, Oktoberfest, and Homecoming! These events you definitely don't want to miss! I encourage each and everyone one of you to get involved on campus in some aspect! It has been proven time and time again that students that are involved on campus tend to excel in their academic endeavors. It is also a great way to make your time in college more memorable and meaningful! The Resident Assistants and I are ecstatic to welcome you to campus and to the Lion Family! If you need anything, please feel free to get in contact with your Resident Assistant or feel free to stop by my office in Pride Hall.

Best of luck this semester and Lion Up!

Mane Experience!

Adjusting to a new roommate? Communication is key! Talk to

your roommate about what is troubling you. If you feel uncomfortable, ask your RA to help you with this conversation.

Be respectful! Everyone is on their own journey; no two roads are identical. Try to be understanding if your roommate’s path differs from your own.

Be honest! If something is bothering you, let your roommate know. Sometimes we do not talk about things until they become big problems. Talking about what is going on will help!

Know where to go to ask for help. Sharing a space for the first time can be tricky… your RA is trained to help you with conflicts! Get to know your RA and ask for their advice. Others are here to help you including your Area Coordinator (RA’s boss). The University Counseling Center advises roommates on having successful relationships!

Get involved with Microwave Scrambled

Eggs

Crack your eggs into a bowl. Using a fork, scramble the yokes

and whites. Add salt and pepper to taste.

For two eggs, cook one minute then stir,

then cook thirty seconds longer,

continuing by 30 second increments until

eggs are cooked to your liking. Start with

30 second increments as overcooked

eggs have an odd texture.

Enjoy your quick breakfast!
