My life as a resident of Stuyvesant Hall

Hello, again. Welcome to another edition of Hasani's World with your host, Mr. Wheat. This week's edition will revolve around my residence at Stuyvesant Hall (FYI for prospectives- which happens to be one of six residential halls you can choose to live at). Enjoy the scenery- I finally got proof of my adventure at OWU!

I live in a capacious setting overlooking the fountain that is in front of Stuy. The residents here are nice and are willing to help you succeed in any way. Stuy is pretty big and I am able to interact with its residents quite often. With the title that I hold in WCSA as a Cultural Sensitivity representative, I always have my door often for any person who decides to talk to me about a concern that needs to be addressed or if they just want to chat about everyday life at OWU. It is quite nice to be able to do my duty and have fun at it as well!

My room is on the first floor, which is very convenient for me because I don't have to lug all of my belongings and heavy boxes of care packages up three flights of stairs and risk injury. My room is just right for me- it is not big nor small. In addition to the good size and location, I am in an area where I have constant access to my RLC and my RA (which both have been a wonderful fountain of advice for me). My RA, Nafis Rahman (shown at right) is always around, trying to make the west wing area of first floor Stuyvesant better (he also serves as a "coach" for how to approach and solve difficult Calculus problems- ah, an advantage of getting to know your RA better). My RLC, Julie Blaszak, provides a source of vast knowledge about how to be a good citizen in a residential hall (she is also extremely cordial and is willing to talk to me about any ideas to how to help Stuyvesant be the best residential hall on campus). I have aspirations of becoming a resident assistant in the near future and these people (as well as some other RA's in the building; don't worry, I didn't leave you guys out) have helped me make my choice to be a future RA an easy one.

My room doesn't look like it is a palace. In fact, my room is pretty bare- only essentials like a refrigerator, a microwave, my laptop, the bunk beds, and a TV which I don't use. Take a look: Nothing spectacular. This is just a minimum so I can survive from day-to-day. I would rather do this and save money from buying food and supplies than splurge and waste all of my food points. This way, I will be thinking and acting wisely without having to suffer from any consequences inflicted by me.

I am good friends with my roommate, Mark Dubovec. He is an English major and I like to write (hence, a pertinent reason why I am a blogger). At times, we discuss issues that are relevant to our society (e.g. prejudice and racism in America). Other times, he will introduce me to a movie and explain the movie's plot, setting, and everything in between. I like movies and sometimes I find myself hooked on some of his movies and other DVD's. Our relationship is pretty tight and I'm glad I can call him my friend and roommate. I also share a bathroom with the school newspaper's awesome photographer, Ryan Kim and his roommate, Tommy Harman, who is on the golf team here at OWU. I find myself being educated by them and my roommate since we are all so unique. I love to learn and I am constantly being educated by views on everything, from their interests to their upbringing and how this makes them who they are. I love my life and the situation God has put me in.

Well, I have to continue studying- finals are this Saturday and I have to be ready. I hoped you have enjoyed this session of Hasani's World.
