Summer! The time to rest, relax and catch up with friends. The season where the birds are chirping, the days are long, and the atmosphere is calm. All you want to do is sit with your feet in the water and sip on some lemonade. While most of you are probably nodding your heads aggressively in agreement dreaming of this, there is that small portion of people who are laughing at the fact that this is what summer is like. Let me guess, that small group of people are what we call camp counselors and here is how you can tell that you are in fact, one of these people.

1. You can't make plans in advance because you have to get your work schedule first.
