Waiting until the last minute is bad, even for RLA

Every year, the Residence Life Association puts on many programs and events. Some are fun and educational, and they are always a good way to get out of the dorm room.

However, with the academic year coming to a close, RLA events are becoming more frequent, and therefore more difficult to attend.

With homework to catch up on, jobs, and many other extra activities and clubs students are involved in, the end of the year is already coming up fast.

Trying to attend all the RLA events has become an even more daunting task than keeping up with homework.

Most students have probably heard the saying, “Homework, sleep, and social life. Choose two.” This truth has become even more apparent now, as the year begins to come to a close.

There have been numerous posters plastering the walls for RLA events. Sometimes in the past month, there have been two or even three events happening in a single evening.

Although those who organize RLA events often do an admirable job, it is unfair to both them and students to put so many events so close the end of the year.

Students don’t have enough time this close to the end of the year to get to all of the events that are being put on by RLA.

The best thing to do is to plan ahead. Students should try to plan ahead and get their homework done early in order to get to social events.

Likewise, those who plan these student events should take into account how difficult it is for the students to do anything this close to the end of the year and start planning events for earlier in the semester.

With both students and RLA organizers planning ahead, people will have more opportunities for socializing through RLA events and students won’t leave other important things, like sleep and homework, behind.
