The beginning of summer is here. For most people, that means parties, freedom, and relaxation. For me, it means big t-shirts, Nike shorts, sneakers, water guns, Disney movies, arts and crafts, and so much more. Nope, I'm not a seven-year-old, I'm a camp counselor. There are so many things that inevitably happen when you become a camp counselor.
1. All of the music on your phone is based on what your campers like.
Say goodbye to your own music, these kids know what they wanna hear and they want to hear it every day, ALL. THE. TIME. And you shamelessly love it.
2. You don't have to worry about honesty.
These kids tell it like it is. Bad hair day? They'll let you know right away.
3. The other counselors become your best friends.
No one understands you like they do. You wait all year just to spend every single day with them, and you love it.
4. You become a little kid again.
Nothing brings out your goofy side like a bunch of seven year olds.
5. You know all of the new Disney Channel shows and movies.
Not even half as good as the old Disney Channel, but it'll do.
6. Summer is your favorite time of year.
Summer = Camp.
7. Waking up in the morning is easy.
Okay, MOST DAYS.
8. Theme days are your favorite days.
You have way too many tye-dye shirts from hippie day.
9. You become a role model.
... and a friend. A babysitter. A supporter.
Being a camp counselor is one of the most rewarding experience there is. I wouldn't want to spend my summer any other way.
