RA start of year gifts/Need quick building patterns

Hello!!! I’m going to be an RA this coming school year, and I want to make my residents each a bracelet to break the ice after our first floor meeting!!!

I’ve been making tons of candy stripe and chevron, but I was wondering if there were any visually interesting patterns that build up pretty quickly! I’d consider myself at least intermediate, and I can read patterns!!

I have beef with 8 year olds

My little sister is a fair bit younger than me (9).This past year she’s had troubles in school and was homeschooled before finding a school that best fits her.

Our neighborhood is full of little girls her age. The problem is—- they suck. They’re constantly bullying my little sister and excluding her from things, and oftentimes I would play with her and comfort her when she was upset that “all the girls were so mean” and asked me why she didn’t fit in

We just recently got a pool installed, and as soon as the installation crew left, we had all the girls who had previously ignored my sister came knocking on the door pretending to be her best friend and asking if they could go see the new pool.

My sister is excited that they’re all clamoring to hang out with her, but I know they’re only doing this because she has something they want, but how do you explain that to a little kid??

I just feel shitty that I’m holding such an intense dislike for children—- I’m an adult for Gods sake, but my sister means the world to me and I hate how upset they make her, and I hate that I have to share the pool with them

Lunch was grill cheese and dr pepper (w coffee creamer in it)
