Some of us, [Student Ambassadors](https://www.uat.edu/see-technology-college#meet-tour-guides) do have some downy days or just are tired. I noticed that so I decided to be the goofball of the SA's. Every time I walk into [UAT](http://www.uat.edu) I head to the front desk and check-in and see how everyone’s doing. I just walk up and say, “Welcome to Chili’s!” They know the usual. I ask everyone’s day and get them to talk about themselves. After a while, I get into the groove and start working but then I pull my trap card. The stuff I say at the desk is to get funny reactions out of everyone. I would say out of nowhere comments or make jokes with everyone. I do make myself look like a dork to entertain the others. But my lightheartedness doesn’t stop there. I joke with [café staff](https://www.uat.edu/uat-cafe) and point fun with them. I go around doing it to students and even visitors. Whenever I have the chance to go joke around with people and have the chance to brighten their day I will. Rare chances during my shift I go to [Founder’s Hall ](https://www.uat.edu/student-housing#founders-hall)and I mess with the [Residential Assistants](https://www.uat.edu/student-housing#resident-assistants). Even in the Portal where the staff is like the [admissions advisors](https://www.uat.edu/private-consultation) or student services, I see them and joke with them. I just try and make everyone’s day a little bit better. I know me and the other SA’s have a good relationship with our bosses so I feel special that I can joke with them and know I can make them laugh. As long I get at least one laugh or smile out of my fellow co-workers that’s good enough for me. ![Image](https://blog.uat.edu/hubfs/blob.jpeg) Student Ambassadors from left to right: John B, Jordan B, Bailey N, Marcos X, Andrew M, and Hakim O.
