28 Signs You Work At A Summer Camp

28. You have a Teva, Chaco or watch tan.

27. You own a pair of Crocs, and in the summer, you wear them proudly.

26. You know every line to "We're All in This Together," "Brave" and "All-Star."

24. Your outfit every day: running shorts and t-shirts.

23. You go the entire summer without wearing a real bra or putting on makeup.

22. Your coloring pages are so good, they belong in a museum. (Also, getting a new box of Crayons is the best gift one could get).

21. You consider yourself lucky to sleep for a solid six hours.

20. Friendship bracelets are the real way to measure the quality of a friend.

19. Seeing the boys' camp is something you've spent all week preparing for, only to avoid the boys and talk to your friends.

15. You learn how to nap anytime, anywhere.

14. Having your favorite meal at the dining hall is cause for celebration.

13. Storm procedure might mean being stuck in your bunk, but some days, that's the nicest thing in the world. (A lot of rain doesn't stop camp from being fun).

12. Your showers are under three minutes and sometimes ice cold, but you learn to love them.

11. An outfit of all tie-dye is not only normal, but widely appreciated.

10. Most of your clothing has a camp logo on it.

9. You've mastered the "girl squat" photo pose, because it's really the only way to get all your friends in one picture.

8. S'mores are the most delicious dessert.

7. All of your clothes, towels, and sheets have your name in them somewhere.

6. Losing your water bottle is literally the end of the world. Literally.

5. You're used to sharing your summer with bugs.

4. You learned the art of letter-writing and how to convince your parents to send you a care package.

3. You can turn anything into a party. Massages? Nail painting? Shaving?

2. Whenever you leave camp on an out-of-camp trip, you feel remarkably out of place.

1. The friends that you made at camp will be your friends for life, and nothing can break the bond that years of camp have built.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
