January 21 – February 19
March is traditionally a heavy conference month, but with the switch to virtual, it’s going to look a little bit different. Professional Development, however you receive it, should be a focus for you this month. You will find a sense of re-engagement and renewal to think bend the day-to-day. You will also make an important connection because of it. Go feed your inner nerd and rediscover your passion!

Pisces
February 20 – March 20
Why does it always seem like residents and parents always wait to let you know about their problems until 4pm on a Friday? That seems to be the theme ahead for you this month. Remember to take it in stride and prioritize. Someone else’s lack of planning does not always constitute an emergency on your part. Keeping that broader cool and calm demeanor will help you from getting wrapped up in it all.

You may often facilitate an icebreaker, but when is the last time you stepped outside of your comfort zone to make new connections with new people? This is the ideal month for you to make new connections–not just professionally but also with the staff on your campus.

It’s TPE season and you’re wondering what the next step in your career should be. Should you stay in your current position, seek a new one at another institution, or maybe lead the field altogether.

September 23 – October 22
You’re hitting the halfway point of the semester and it’s all downhill from here… in a good way. The rest of the semester should be relatively smooth sailing for you. Your staff know their jobs and the new reality, and your students have settled into a routine. Take advantage of the calm this month for a breather and some self care.

Teambuilders. This month is all about building up your team. After a tough year, you’ll have a bit of a breather to focus on lifting your fellow staff members up (and both you and your colleagues NEED it). Take the lead this month on developing some opportunities for your staff to have fun, develop bonds, and forget about some of your day-to-day worries. You will leave the month with renewed energy.

Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
One student is going to make your whole month this month. As residence life professionals, we don’t often get to see the results of our work with students because the effects are felt long after they leave residence. But every now and then, we get a thank you or a recognition of the work we do, directly from the students themselves. This is your month to receive it. Take the time to appreciate your own hard and thoughtful work.
