Its Emily Even professionals say you should get your own mode of transportation if possible and safe because ambulances can often take even longer than just driving to the hospital.
Its Emily idk where you live but in the US you have to pay for ambulance rides and insurance sucks here so she probably would’ve had a really hard time paying the debt off as a college student.
@Its Emily as a poor student without ambulance cover, if someone called me an ambulance after i had specifically asked them not to i would simply Pass Away right then and there. please don't call ambulances for people against their will
yo one time in high school i was running with some girls from my track team after school (without the coach, he was w another part of the team) & i accidentally hurt my ankle and i was bleeding profusely. so one of the girls i was running with suggested they all carry me to her house since it was way closer than the school. so they did that, and meanwhile, one of the other girls ran back to the school to tell the office what was going on. i was fine i got stitches bla bla bla but the next day admin called all the girls that were with me down to the office and screamed at them for not carrying me 2 kilometres back to the school.......... & then they proceeded to scold me over the phone for calling my mom before calling the school and my coach. schools are always trying to cover their asses they don't care about what's morally correct lmao
Supervisor doing supervisor things by not answering the phone then being mad at you for doing the right thing after you helped the girl to the hospital. Should’ve answered the phone the first time chief. Also love your vids!
@@bellastark7550 we have a week called freshers week, which is a week dedicated to getting shitfaced. universities know that we'd do it no matter what because we'd wanna socialise etc, so they made it an official thing. its full of drinking games, parties, nightclubs, etc. universities also usually sell drug-testing kits because they're aware people probably take party drugs (mdma etc) lmao. they don't encourage it but they accommodate it safely
The hospital story is wild to me. I had to repeatedly ASK campus security (who rescued me from the stairwell where I'd fallen and broken my ankle in 3 places) to call me an ambulance. They kept insisting I get a taxi. I learned later that that's how they got most of the students to the hospital, even kids with preexisting conditions who passed out (granted it was like 10 blocks away but still). They assumed all of the students didn't have insurance or that it wouldn't cover an ambulance ride, which is such a sad reflection on our HC system.
It is sad. They also probably realize most college kids don't know this yet and are still on their parent's insurance. They don't want the parents to end up with a massive hospital bill.
The, "I'm your RA" "Omg, you're my RA" part reminded me of the literal COUNTLESS times I would see my residents downtown at the bars. Once, one of my residents, inebriated after a day of dartying, screamed at me from across the parking lot, "SEE YOU AT 100 PROOF (a bar) TONIGHT, BECCAAAAA!!!" The year after I was an RA, I was a desk/building access assistant and almost exclusively worked from 2 a.m.-8 a.m. (kms, so much worse than being on duty) Students had to swipe their IDs to get into the building, and one time this resident's card wasn't working. I buzzed him in, looked at his card, and and said, "Um, this fake ID will only let you into the bars, not into this building." He sobered up SO quick, "Uhh that's um that's my friend's haha just holding it for him uhhh here's my real ID heheh I swear I live here."
how did you decide whether or not to bust people? i’m gonna be an RA in the fall (assuming we even go back to campus lol) and i feel like i’m not gonna want to bust anyone but also don’t wanna get in trouble 😔🤘🏻
I never went to the bars not even when I was legal, it's just not my scene, but I caught my RA going to or coming back from the bars one night and she was like apologizing to me. 😂 I was like I don't care. 😂 If you even knew half the shit I experimented with in college, drinking alcohol is no biggie.
I always wondered what being an RA is like, the ones at my school are the ones who are constantly partying and having so many people at their apartments 😂
In my first year some guy started a drug lab in his room and everyone had to evacuate cause his meth set off an alarm. (I'm only a resident but I wanted to chime in)
Honestly, RA's are lifesavers. I had one RA who was so kind, I got sunburned on my face really bad and didn't have an aloe so I was in agony. I knocked on her door and asked if she had any to spare. She didn't have any but she did let me know that the health clinic had some for free. So I went a whole night in pain but I did get the aloe eventually. She was also the same RA who helped some of my friends(lived on the same floor as me) when they had serious health issues(One friend has heart issues and another one has too many health issues to count so she's prone to fainting) and needed to go to the hospital on several occasions. This year before the semester when online, we had a cool RA but I also witness some crazy things and stories being on Hall Council, for instance, one time we had a girl in our hall who had a METH LAB in her dorm. After that, our RA quit and we got a new one who is also super cool. Although he wasn't there long because we went online.
That is literally the exact thought that goes through EVERY RA's head. And it's funny because the same thing happened in one of my neighboring buildings when I was an RA, and the main reason it got REALLY busted was because they decided to post it on a VERY PUBLIC Instagram account.
if I have an emergency at college then my friends better call me an uber instead of the ambulance cause I aint gonna be able to pay $5000 for a ride in the wee-woo wagon
I didn't get accepted to be a RA for my school next year but honestly the more I learned about it the less sad I am about not getting the position. (Ex: fire alarm was pulled 6+ times at like 3am in the freshmen dorms, never want to experience that again)
A guy in my building opened a beer in the elevator with someone else in it and then asked "What are you gonna do narc on me?" Turns out they were an RA.
This totally didn’t happen but one time I saw my RA at a warehouse party where I was hypothetically hammered off booze I definitely didn’t illegally obtain and she was totally not high off her ass. If that did happen though it wouldn’t been a crazy experience
Not an RA but have a fun story involving my RA (who was off duty)! Two weeks before we got kicked out the the halls, thanks corona, my friends and I decided to draw an Ouiji Board and play it in the main area while everyone else got on the piss. It was fun and my RA joined in. That RA tricked us into believe there was a spirit with us called Ian. My friend had to go to the toilet so we said goodbye, when she came back she was pretty much running out of the toilet scared that Ian was gonna take her soul. After that we continued trying to summon spirits with the RA and one of the night guards joined in. Pretty much we got so into it that we stayed up till 3 a.m. to try the ouiji board again (didn’t even realise that we were doing the ouiji board at 3 am on Friday 13th) that’s when my RA revealed he was Ian but we still did it anyway. It worked and we all freaked out so the night guard with us went outside to set our drawn ouiji board on fire. Honestly this whole story sounds stupid but it was a fun night
dude i love your channel! i found you through your video about hitting a million views and wow i wish it was easier to find content like yours. it’s so great to see someone who rly cares about what they’re doing :,)
I went to community college then transferred to a university. I was 22 and my roommate was 21 when we first moved into the dorms. It turned out our RA had just turned 21. She LOVED us! She came down to hang-out in our room with us a couple times a month. She let us have an illegal sandwich grill because we made her grilled cheese when she would stop by. She also liked us because we were SLIGHTLY more mature than the other residents, so we rarely gave her any problems. She was the most super-chill person at the college. She was awesome.
I remember just one time in my hall taking a shower and hearing the loud crash of something breaking outside. As I exited the bathroom, I saw a bunch of people gathered including my RA around a neighbor who lived directly across from me and his foot was bleeding profusely. There was blood on the walls, floor, and covering my RA's hands since she was putting pressure on his wounds. They told me to just walk around them as I left the shower, barefoot because I forgot to grab some slippers or something. Even after the cleaning ladies came, you could still see where he had bled and that might have been the craziest thing I remember from this year.
LMAO i love these stories bc honestly they're all kind of pure in a way? Like they're not those crazy stories with insane roommates/creepy neighbors/stalkers/crazy bosses/etc, they're just really hilarious stories that I totally believe about the weird random stuff people do. Love it, 10/10 would recommend.
As someone who was an RA and a supervisor of RAs and wants to do this for a living (idk why I’m crazy) I loved these stories. Also I’m appalled at the fact that they didn’t answer the duty phone and call you back immediately, I’m so sorry that happened to you. If that had been me as the supervisor, I would’ve taken all the blame because you shouldn’t of been in that situation alone.
I work in housing too at my college (I'm a desk assistant though) and all the RAs tell me horror stories of times they got in trouble for making a reasonable decision given the circumstances, just like your hospital story. Red tape definitely makes the job so much worse
Cool! Now, in addition to occasionally lifting heavy things up and put them down, you can say you sometimes hold furry things down and lift them up again. Symmetry for your resume.
My RA used to crash into our room late at night...drunk. Like...250lbs of drunk guy, falling into our room, giggling. We're still close friends. Also had an RA "look the other way" while I (boy) lived with my girlfriend in an all-girls dorm. Still friends with most of the other (girl) residents from that floor to this day.
And this is why I'm uber thankful I followed the advice of not letting residents follow/know my social media/number until after I am no longer their RA. But yeah if this were true, very relatable to my 2 years of RA-ness.
Sometimes I forget that America is so different from other countries even as an American until I see all the people commenting like, "American college sure is whacky lol." And then I'm like??? There's a difference? I thought all colleges were weird like this.
Not an RA but I really feel for the RAs on my campus (fairly large state school, iykyk). For whatever reason the kids from the town, who are like 11-13-year-olds, like to sneak into my apartment building and chill in the lounges. They commandeer our TVs, bring their bikes up with them, and everything. The RAs have to kick them out and I think public safety has been called on occasion.
Im not gonna lie I was expecting a confessions video about being in the 'IRA', the RA is used as a slang for it. I was very confused when she started talking with no Irish/Northern Irish accent
I had such an unreasonable sense of fear watching this video because I was one of your residents your first year.....was terrified at any second a story about me would get brought up....even though no one watching it would know who it was about
You are such a good person. That job is dumb. If I were a resident and needed to go to the hospital you going with me would mean so much that I can't even put into words, but having an ambulance called would probably make me hate everyone involved and be scared to come to the RA again. Jobs really need to be more human, like actually caring about the people they're servicing.
i always find it shocking that people in the world have to pay for each health related things like an ambulances or a doctors appointments like no no put in ur taxes pls 😭
That really sucks about the ambulance situation :( I worked in a residence hall management role, and we never ever hesitated to call an ambulance because it's free here - as it should be.
I was never an RA, but I was probably a nightmare for some RA's considering the fact I saved someone's fish from the mens bathroom because these two guys thought their fish died. They quickly found out the fish was not dead, left a sign on the bathroom door, and then after I saved the fish they had the gall to ask for it back. The supervisor of the building begged me to give the fish back to avoid any ramifications. I said hell no and my roommate and I bought supplies for the comet goldfish which we promptly named Legolas. **I should also note that the previous owners of the fish made no other attempts to save their fish and left it in the bowl for more than two days.... somehow no one flushed. There was also a time where I was in the HLC of my dorms and worked alongside RA's. Did business rounds/hype rounds with them to promote events. Coming up with events was so yawn worthy so I hosted a "Shrekathon" with my RA. Printed about 25 sheets of coloring sheets, ate popcorn, and had a good time. lol
The school told him to register his fish as an ESA? 🤭 that’s illegal. There’s no certifications/registration for ESA’s. He has to get a note from his therapist 😳 either way, HE FROZE THEM?! 😂😅😢
finishing up my freshman year now and honestly pitied the RAs that had to put up with my building. For a small private school, party scene was huge & so much mess came with it.. we had a kid blacked out on the bathroom floor in the first 3 weeks of classes & a room that got busted for parting 3 weekends in a row before cops were finally called.. we love a co-ed freshman dorm
TECHNICALLY, freezing a fish is a humane way of basically putting a fish down if it's sick. It goes to sleep and then just...freezes. More humane than just starving it
Freshmen got stoves in their dorm at your school? Crazy. When I was an RA all my residents were older than me and that was super awkward. Can confirm that you gotta sign your life away and everything sucks.
I was an Academic Peer Mentor (so like on RA staff but the nerdy cousin that had to deal with academic issues instead of the roommate/illegal issues). My school accepted too many freshmen my first year on staff so students/their families were showing up on their first day and being told they had to live in a "converted" LOUNGE until enough other people dropped out and moved out😅
15 years ago I messaged my RN on AIM because my neighbor next door was doing some weird sorority initiation ritual and it was keeping me up at night. I still wonder what the hell they were doing that she kept saying "ouch". Were like they giving her a tatoo or something? Then the girl got mad at me for snitching and like threatened to beat me up for spying on her. I just wanted to go to sleep.
As a former RA myself, I'm glad our training covered all these what-if scenarios. You're telling stories and I'm like, "OMG you're supposed to do X-Y-Z!!!!" 😂
Wow your department sounds so crazy!! I'm an RA at my uni and it's the best decision I made because my team is so supportive and helpful. I've definitely experienced some wild stuff, but that frozen fish story was just ............. Also, did they really tell you to stop making videos or else or was that a joke?? If that's true, wooooooow!!! No words... My staff loves my RUclips videos so I couldn't imagine being forced to choose one or the other.
The ambulance situation is so stressful. For one the doctors in the ambulance can assist her on the way to the hospital which is good. But then it’s the states... so that ambulance price could ruin someone’s financial position. It’s so whack.
Fictional story time: An unnamed student who went to College University called an RA last semester asking them to hold his/her "emotional support" turtle, which may not have been registered, that he/she was too afraid to touch. Same person made a call asking for an RA to put his/her earrings in for him/her. How on earth did this individual survive a full year of school???
"his friend is just perfectly in the middle of the room reading The Bible..." ohhh my fucking- just the thought process...i cant even imagine lmfao. i would have honestly just walked away in tears
I’m an RA right now and we have a lot of benefits that other student workers don’t have specifically because we are unionized. We get decently good pay in comparison to other places, reduced parking, paid time off, and our supervisors can’t fire us unfairly. If you’re an RA right now, really consider unionizing, because it makes the job a lot more manageable. Get in contact with local unions in your area or with an existing RA union if that interests you!
Ok but morally you did the complete right thing for that girl who was bleeding I’m sure she’s thankful
Colleen Park yesss!! I would've done the same tbh, like im SORRY my morals and ability understand are in place :))

The dude who froze his fish is definitely a psychopath
@@nightbird8348 bro...eating fish is different from freezing a PET or an EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL
Freezing fish is the ghetto way to euthanize your fish. He was prolly too lazy to find a home for them
I was gonna like this but didn’t wanna ruin the 666 likes
The dude was probably just trying to preserve his fish since fish can survive being frozen.
evelyn fish are fish. He 100% said they were an emotional support pet as an excuse to let him keep them
the potential of turning an RA’s life into a sitcom is big
amber tran someone DO IT
There was a short lived TV show called Resident Advisors!
I would 100% watch that
I'M GONNA DO IT!!!!!!!
You had a great idea!

I should!

They commandeer our TVs, bring their bikes up with them, and everything. The RAs have to kick them out and I think public safety has been called on occasion.
Im not gonna lie I was expecting a confessions video about being in the 'IRA', the RA is used as a slang for it. I was very confused when she started talking with no Irish/Northern Irish accent
James Fishwick Same oh my fuck I was so confused
James Fishwick Hahahaha same
I had a cross-faded resident get angry at me, then proceed to RIP OFF HIS SHORTS. Then cry and tell me I was such a good Ra for caring about them.
The whole "you should've called an ambulance" thing is classist AS FUCK.
i support you ill come to the hearing if you get sued
kennedy heinrichs me too sis me too
Can we make signs😂😂🤔🤔🤔
I had such an unreasonable sense of fear watching this video because I was one of your residents your first year.....was terrified at any second a story about me would get brought up....even though no one watching it would know who it was about
You were the one with the emotional support cat huh
“Because guess what we are in America” I laughed too hard 😭
You are such a good person. That job is dumb. If I were a resident and needed to go to the hospital you going with me would mean so much that I can't even put into words, but having an ambulance called would probably make me hate everyone involved and be scared to come to the RA again. Jobs really need to be more human, like actually caring about the people they're servicing.
i always find it shocking that people in the world have to pay for each health related things like an ambulances or a doctors appointments like no no put in ur taxes pls 😭
can i just say your vibes are IMMACULATE
“Large and in charge” 😂
i dont think its normal how i have a whole plan how id save someone who smokes from getting busted when i become a RA. what
I love the billy joel references
i had two opportunities for them so i took them
That really sucks about the ambulance situation :( I worked in a residence hall management role, and we never ever hesitated to call an ambulance because it's free here - as it should be.
love how you basically tell college stories. LOVE it!
i never understood the American health system
like..U PAY IF U CALL AN AMBULANCE ???
Yes, and it's like a thousand dollars on the low end.
@@melissabennett4328 well the health insurance doesn't cover anything ?
I was never an RA, but I was probably a nightmare for some RA's considering the fact I saved someone's fish from the mens bathroom because these two guys thought their fish died. They quickly found out the fish was not dead, left a sign on the bathroom door, and then after I saved the fish they had the gall to ask for it back. The supervisor of the building begged me to give the fish back to avoid any ramifications. I said hell no and my roommate and I bought supplies for the comet goldfish which we promptly named Legolas. **I should also note that the previous owners of the fish made no other attempts to save their fish and left it in the bowl for more than two days.... somehow no one flushed.
There was also a time where I was in the HLC of my dorms and worked alongside RA's. Did business rounds/hype rounds with them to promote events. Coming up with events was so yawn worthy so I hosted a "Shrekathon" with my RA. Printed about 25 sheets of coloring sheets, ate popcorn, and had a good time. lol
The school told him to register his fish as an ESA? 🤭 that’s illegal. There’s no certifications/registration for ESA’s. He has to get a note from his therapist 😳 either way, HE FROZE THEM?! 😂😅😢
Joselyn Diaz THIS MANS FROZE THEM LMAOO
finishing up my freshman year now and honestly pitied the RAs that had to put up with my building. For a small private school, party scene was huge & so much mess came with it.. we had a kid blacked out on the bathroom floor in the first 3 weeks of classes & a room that got busted for parting 3 weekends in a row before cops were finally called.. we love a co-ed freshman dorm
this got recommended to me and i’m so glad i clicked it. you’re so f*^king entertaining
HE FROZE HIS FISH!? That's animal cruelty, I hope someone press charges
i mean do u eat meat
TECHNICALLY, freezing a fish is a humane way of basically putting a fish down if it's sick. It goes to sleep and then just...freezes. More humane than just starving it
oumph killings something and leaving it to rot is different than eating it.
Freshmen got stoves in their dorm at your school? Crazy. When I was an RA all my residents were older than me and that was super awkward. Can confirm that you gotta sign your life away and everything sucks.
I love how I got a Plan B advertisement while watching this video lol welcome to college 🤪
I was an Academic Peer Mentor (so like on RA staff but the nerdy cousin that had to deal with academic issues instead of the roommate/illegal issues). My school accepted too many freshmen my first year on staff so students/their families were showing up on their first day and being told they had to live in a "converted" LOUNGE until enough other people dropped out and moved out😅
15 years ago I messaged my RN on AIM because my neighbor next door was doing some weird sorority initiation ritual and it was keeping me up at night. I still wonder what the hell they were doing that she kept saying "ouch". Were like they giving her a tatoo or something? Then the girl got mad at me for snitching and like threatened to beat me up for spying on her. I just wanted to go to sleep.
The fact that you put billy Joel in your video just made me subscribe. That’s all I needed.
SAFE SUCC i can't hahahahahhhahaa
This was so entertaining AHHH thank u nikki nasty you're making quarantine so much fun
The dry, sarcastic humor oh my god. Thank you I needed this video.
aw miss u hehehehe i like that i know who everyone in this is hehehehehe
Miss you too :(
As a former RA myself, I'm glad our training covered all these what-if scenarios. You're telling stories and I'm like, "OMG you're supposed to do X-Y-Z!!!!" 😂
Wow your department sounds so crazy!! I'm an RA at my uni and it's the best decision I made because my team is so supportive and helpful. I've definitely experienced some wild stuff, but that frozen fish story was just .............
Also, did they really tell you to stop making videos or else or was that a joke?? If that's true, wooooooow!!! No words... My staff loves my RUclips videos so I couldn't imagine being forced to choose one or the other.
Hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe during the quarantine!
You cant call an ambulance for someone if they said no.
Being an RA was like selling my soul to the devil... but I would do it over and over again! Loved this video
The ambulance situation is so stressful. For one the doctors in the ambulance can assist her on the way to the hospital which is good. But then it’s the states... so that ambulance price could ruin someone’s financial position. It’s so whack.
ryan started the fireeeee
im really proud of you for coming out with these touching confessions of your struggle with rheumatoid arthritis
every single vibe you give off i am just living for i am subbed 😂😂
Fictional story time: An unnamed student who went to College University called an RA last semester asking them to hold his/her "emotional support" turtle, which may not have been registered, that he/she was too afraid to touch. Same person made a call asking for an RA to put his/her earrings in for him/her. How on earth did this individual survive a full year of school???
"his friend is just perfectly in the middle of the room reading The Bible..."
ohhh my fucking- just the thought process...i cant even imagine lmfao. i would have honestly just walked away in tears
I’m an RA right now and we have a lot of benefits that other student workers don’t have specifically because we are unionized. We get decently good pay in comparison to other places, reduced parking, paid time off, and our supervisors can’t fire us unfairly. If you’re an RA right now, really consider unionizing, because it makes the job a lot more manageable. Get in contact with local unions in your area or with an existing RA union if that interests you!
Oh so many stories from being an RA this year... one of my first times on-duty, I walked in two residents having sex in a classroom ahhhhhh hehehe
Sophie it do be like that sometimes
