11 Signs You're a VBS Volunteer

Vacation Bible School is the best and most exhausting weeks out of the whole summer. However, with all of the chaotic-ness amongst the children, they are learning about the most important book in all of history. Shoutout to all of the volunteers during this amazing week and some signs that you can hopefully relate to!

1. You know how much preparation truly goes into this week

Volunteers needed. Decorations in tact. Performance date set aside. Prayers. Everything needs to be planned in the months before.

2. Decorations galore

Found a place giving away cardboard for free? Or the whole church donating a ton of milk jugs? Let's make an igloo that can hold 10 kids. It'll be great.

3. You have literally ALL of the songs memorized by the second day

You find yourself singing them in the middle of Walmart.

4. For some reason, all of the little kids don't annoy you THAT much

Then again, it's only a week.

5. Potty breaks are scheduled down to the minute

"Okay, who needs to go to the bathroom while were over here?"

6. FREE SNACKS

Yasssssssss. Shoutout to all of the ladies who go above and beyond with the snacks each year. (and yes that is a submarine)

7. You already know which days games are going to get messy

Water. Water. Water.

8. You know just where that "one kid" is hiding

"Have you seen [insert name here]?" "Oh yea they just ran down that way.."

9. "Hey you..."

60 names is hard to remember and everyone gets called "Hey you"

10. You spread the Gospel each day

The Word of God is the most important part of Vacation Bible School.

11. You have the songs and actions embedded in your head for years to come

Trust me on this...I can sing all of the books of the Bible and do all of the actions to Amazing Grace.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
