myself. To be honest going into my first year of being a RA I expected extraverted students that would go to the events and community would happen naturally. That was not the case for my residents this year but I worked so hard to cater to their needs and create our own unique community. I learned a lot about myself and how to connect with residents with different perspectives of my own. Through the process of one on ones, I listened to each resident and asked what they wanted out of their experience in the residence halls. Although it may have been different from what I may have wanted, I was still able to take their feedback to create events that interested…

Egyptians worshipped Ra since the the symbolic objects he was most illustrated with,…

My first semester as a Residential Assistant has been an overall interesting, challenging, and defining experience, to say the least. Traversing through the early stages of the position, such as move-in, training, and meeting my residents, couldn’t have prepared me enough for the amazing experience that I have had thus far. Although I’ve had conversations with friends currently and previously in the position, and have had my own past experiences with RAs, I genuinely did not know what to expect…

level were shaped in some ways by their respective religions, though to varying and differing degrees. The most important concept of Egyptian ethics was that of ma ’at. Ma ‘at was very important to the Egyptian religion, as she was both a goddess and the abstract concept of harmony, which was the driving force of Egyptian ethics. Ma ‘at was the feather that the Egyptian soul was weighed against to determine if the soul would enter heaven, or be fed to the devourer. Ma ‘at is about…

Nile Valley. When building his city of Amarna, Akhenaten, like his father and other kings before him, followed the basic city structure present through Egypt. Two of the three main buildings in Amarna’s city centre were temples to the Aten - the Great and Small Aten Temples. The inclusion of primarily religious structures in the centre of Amarna indicates that Akhenaten wanted to demonstrate to Egypt the significance of devotion to the Aten. Some of the works constructed by Amenhotep at Luxor…

We also are required to plan monthly events for our residents that promote holistic wellness. Because RA’s are representatives of the university in multiple forms, we have to participate…

Egyptian god is considered to be the most powerful. Every god lived with the threat of destruction, and even of the greatest of the gods faced these threats everyday. Apep, or Apophis, is the powerful opponent of the sun god, Ra. He represented chaos, darkness, and evil spirit. He is a huge snake who is thought to have existed in the beginning of time, in the ocean of darkness. Many times, he threatened to destroy Ra. In Egyptian hieroglyphs, he is often depicted as a snake. Apep is the leader…

Heliopolis (Ions). Atum also goes by many names, one for example is the sun god Ra or Re. His creation is analogous to life growing after the receding waters of the Nile. In addition, Heliopolitans believed his emergence is similar to light dispersing from the chaotic darkness of Nun. Thus, that is why Atum-Ra is believed to be the sun god. According to the text, Atum was regarded as a bisexual, “sometimes called the ‘Great He-She’” (Ions). In that senses, he was able to asexually conceive Shu,…

Egypt The first known siting of the ouroboros design is the enigmatic book of the netherworld. In the 14th century b.c it’s about the movements of the god ra and his organisation with Osiris in the underworld.
