Eight Things Camp Girls Will Never Apologize For

You see numbers. I see home.

Eight Things Camp Girls Will Never Apologize For
middletwonnj.org

We live 10 months just for two. Obviously, we need to use those 10 months talking about camp to make up for the short two months that we actually get to be there. While some may find our camp obsession to be irritating, irrational or just down right insane, all we can do is feel sorry for you that you aren't able to share in the amazing experience that is summer camp.

1. Instagram Pictures of Camp

Our camp is the most beautiful place on earth. If you follow us, consider yourself lucky for being able to be graced with the presence of another beautiful sunrise over the lake or of a picture of us decked out in our color war garb.

2. Screaming When We See Our Camp Friends

If you ran into your sister unexpectedly, you'd scream too. Whether it was planned or not, a visit from a camp friend might as well be a national holiday, so forgive us for wanting to celebrate by letting everyone within a 50 mile radius of us know that we are in fact reunited.

3. Crying When a Camp Song Comes On

You all are extremely fortunate to be listening to the inspiration for the 2012 winning color war alma mater, so you should be bringing on the water works too.

If you want to avoid an emotional camp girl, then never play a song by Ron Pope, Rascal Flatts or any song that once appeared on One Tree Hill.

4. Counting Down the Days Until Camp

If you don't want a daily reminder of how many days are left until we go back home, then you can unfollow us right now. Until then, expect an obscene amount of Facebook posts, tweets, and instagrams with captions counting down the days until we're back where we belong.

5. Wearing Your Camp Wrist While at Home

Look, I'm sorry that not being able to see a good portion of my arm offends you so much, but it took a lot of effort of bribing people to make me cool bracelets to get this extremely large camp wrist. No, I will not take it off even though I'm not still at camp.

6. Singing the Camp Version of a Popular Song

You would rather listen to the real lyrics of "Eye of the Tiger" than my considerably better camp version? If I'm singing too fast for you or you don't get the references, this song won color war for the White Team in 1982; this version is much more of a legend than whatever profit the rock band,Survivor, made off of it.

7. Playing Jewish Geography

Do you know how many Rachel Cohen's (or any other jewish names) there are in the camp community? The fact that we both know that Rachel Cohen is almost as big of a miracle as when the candles stayed lit for all eight nights.

8. Talking about Camp


Just because you weren't lucky enough to go to the best camp in the world ("the best" depends on which camp the person you're speaking to attended) doesn't mean that I'm going to stop talking about.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
