18 Signs You're a Camp Counselor

It's no secret that every summer camp is different. We all sing our songs differently, wake up at different times, play different games, and watch different camper experience camp every week. A while ago I did and article called "9 Memories all Camp Counselors Have" but I came to realize I left a few things out. So, here are twice as many, slightly less serious (and this time featuring gifs) signs that you are a camp counselor.

1) You own the holy grail of shoes AKA Chacos.

2) You also have rocked "sacos" (socks and Chacos) on multiple occasions, even if you do get strange looks.

3) You're a pro at describing your life story in a quick 30-second pitch to parents.

4) You own at least two pairs of athletic shoes: one for running and one for mudding.

Edit

5) Fights and disagreements over which way to sing certain songs are not uncommon, especially between counselors of rival camps.

6) "We're late!" Sounds pretty familiar.

7) You own more one piece swimsuits than any "normal" girl your age does.

8) You've "fibed" (just a little) to your campers about the existence of some fictional animal or creature on camp property.

9) Weekends and nights off are spent looking through pictures to find good canid pictures of you and your campers.

10) You own all. The. Bro tanks.

11) You've said "alright no one bring any food into the cabin we don't want bugs," while simultaneously kicking a box of pop tarts and three bags of gummy worms under your bunk.

12) You've been to Goodwill maybe ten too many times.

13) Everything under the sun reminds you of camp.

14) "If we don't leave right now we're going to miss the activity," sounds familiar too.

15) You hate calling camp a "summer job" because even though it is, you've never considered it "work."

16) You love camp food, you hate camp food.

17) You've friendship bracelet making skills can always be improved upon.

18) You're counting down the days until summer camp 2k16.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
