No form. No DMs. Just drop it in the comments.

Life On Duty is a podcast about the real experience of being an RA, Senior RA, academic peer mentor, or campus staff. Season One is built entirely on anonymous submissions — and I want yours.

Here's how this works:

• Reply to this post with your story
• Use a throwaway account if you want extra anonymity
• No real names, no room numbers, no details that could identify a specific person
• I read every single comment
• If your story gets selected for an episode, it will be read anonymously on the podcast — you will never be identifiable

Some prompts to get you started — pick one or just tell your story:

• The duty night that went completely sideways
• The resident you will never forget
• The moment you almost quit
• The hardest call you ever had to make on duty
• What you actually thought of your RD or supervisor
• The funniest thing that ever happened on your floor
• What nobody warned you about before you started
• The moment that made the whole job worth it

There are no wrong answers. Short or long. Funny or heavy. Recent or ten years ago.

If it stayed with you — it belongs here.

A few things:

• This post is set to Contest Mode so comments don't show vote counts — every story gets equal visibility
• Upvote the stories that hit. It helps me know which ones the community connects with most.
• Comments are open. You can reply to other people's stories — just keep it supportive.

I'm Jahnel, host of Life On Duty — former RA, former Senior RA, current Assistant Director of Residence Life. I read everything.
