15 things that we are inconvenienced about at the RHO

15 things that we are inconvenienced about at the RHO:

1- Lack of internet connection (all of us need to facebook!)

2- The mysterious dishwasher sound. Or is it a puppy?

3- Lack of a dog.

4- We do not have a queen size bed, or at least we lack pillows.

5- The refrigerators has no shelves (What are we supposed to put in there? Packages).

6- Hole-punch paper (Edit: Blue Paper)

7- Having to go to multiple places to get the packages.

8- Our speakers suck despite the fact that we should not be playing music ever!

9- Lack of barricade between the customer and the client. All the other RHO’s have metal steel curtains like the Soviet Iron Curtain.  ”We just need to protect ourselves from the masses.” (The RHO bourgeoisie)

10- We need internet (we really need to stalk on Facebook!).

11- The sink is nasty, very nasty.

12- People do not understand how to deliver food (cough*Tuscany Cafe*cough).

13- The temperatures changes rapidly probably due to the constant door opening (People need to stop coming in!)

14- People do not pick up their Georgetown cupcakes (We really want to eat them like right now).

15- I am begging for internet connection ( we are about to kneel and pray to God for internet connection).

10 things I like about the RHO

10 things I like about the RHO:

1- I get unscheduled visits from my roommate.

2- I get to say “What size is your package?”

3-  Black is supposed to be our RHO color but we are actually multi-color.

4- We have the only couch in a campus RHO.

5- I get to practice taking out the trash so I can apply it for our after-party clean up at my apartment.

6- I actually have to dress in nice clothes because I try not to wear sweatpants.

7- I get to crank up Cascada and when that gets boring I can put on a censored version of  ”On a Boat.”

8- We like babies.

9- We have Pizazz.

10- I have this blog in which I can procrastinate instead of doing my Portuguese composition.

It’s this One Thing…

Yes that is an Amerie lyric in the title.  So like we say in our “About” page, the theme of our ALUMNI SQUARE RHO is “Famous Alumni & Famous Squares” (get it?!).  So we have Red Square in Moscow and Times Square in NY (my two cities! so proud!), and we have Bill Clinton and Patrick Ewing on the alumni side. 

And.. we have Amerie!  She was my pick for our Famous Alumni board, since it’s not as common to have entertainers come out of Georgetown.  A couple of weeks ago, she came out with her fourth studio album, In Love & War, and now, all of a sudden, her name is coming up on my Twitter feed. It’s exciting to see her active again!.

Here’s a video for “Heard Em All”:

The song’s pretty catchy, and  the video is definitely hot.  But I’m kind of more excited about the old school feel on “Why R U”:

But anyway. Let’s talk about another Hoya entertainer.  She just graduated, and is a friend of mine, having been on Groove Theory for a couple of years. Jacqui Rice, also known by her stage name, Qui.  Not only is she gorgeous and a great singer and dancer, she is seriously the sweetest girl ever.  Check her out in her video for “Rev It Up,” which came out last year:

Who are your favorite Georgetown alums? What are they up to these days?

Happy Friday the 13th!

Did you know that the unluckiness of the number 13 dates back to 1700 BCE?!  According to Time Magazine’s “A Brief History of Friday the 13th,” the number was ommitted from Hammurabi’s code of laws.

Did you know that a term actually exists for fear of the number 13? It’s triskaidekaphobia.  Seriously. Look:

–noun, fear or a phobia concerning the number 13.

Weird, right?

Check out the article for more interesting phenomena, such as: the association of the 13th with Friday (came from Wall St.!), Friday the 13th in literature and film, and more!

Video of the Day

This girl is… pretty incredible.  Got us thinking, remember those pre-pubescent days when you didn’t care about what people thought of you?

I did this once with my friend, except it was to a Britney Spears song (oh the times, they are a’changin…), and we didn’t have Youtube back then! Thanks Jill for sharing .

Welcome to the RHO, How Can We Help You?

Yo whattup!

The Residence Hall Office is a unique institution at Georgetown.  RHOs are responsible for handling packages, lockouts, and other administrative duties for the Georgetown community.  Here at Alumni Square, we are provided with comfy couches and a sweet computer to watch many a Youtube-video.  Our awesome manager has also gotten us sweet plastic cups and plates, so we are GREEN. Woot!

This blog is going to be our forum to share random sites, funny overheard convos, Youtube videos, and what we like to call “RHO Wisdom.” Don’t be surprised if some of it is about birthing. We like babies.

Look around, enjoy, and interact! We’d love to hear from you.

-Marina, @ the RHO
