10 Pictures That Capture The True Meaning Of Kesem Magic

While no picture can truly capture the emotions and excitement of a moment, some of these photos really come close. Hundreds of pictures are taken each week at camp, but the 10 below are some of those that captured the most meaningful and memorable moments from CKKU 2018.

1. Pre-meal circle

Camp Kesem KU

With camp songs to be sung, announcements to be made, and friends to greet, pre-meal circles are a fun time to come together as a whole camp before heading in to eat!

2. Camp songs

Camp Kesem KU

Seeing a group of nearly 100 people jumping around and singing about sharks, Pepe, "Getting Loose," and burritos is quite a site to see, but the next best thing so being there, is capturing the moment in a picture.

3. CKKU staff

Camp Kesem KU

The energy contained in the group of Kesem Counselors is simply indescribable. Just moments before campers arrive, counselors prepare for a truly life changing week.

4. Hungry hungry hippos

Camp Kesem KU

Because a real live version is clearly better than a board game!

5. Cancer sucks

Camp Kesem KU

There are simply no better words, "Cancer Sucks." While we cannot take the pain away, camp gives kids the chance to have a week away to relax, have fun, be a kid, and feel the support of Kesem Family.

6. Dance party

Camp Kesem KU

After an emotional day, there is no better way to lift your spirits than with a dance party!

7. Messy Olympics

Camp Kesem KU

A popular favorite among campers, this is a time to just let loose and be a kid. Nothing says "childhood" like paint, shaving cream, and of course, GLITTER!

8. Closing circle

Camp Kesem KU

Perhaps one of the most meaningful times at Camp is the moments just before we all head off to bedtime. A time to reflect on the day and come together as one camp.

9. Final goodbyes

Camp Kesem KU

A picture simply cannot capture the emotions held with these goodbyes that really aren't "goodbyes" but rather a "see you later."

10. Just walk beside me

Camp Kesem KU

The one picture that really says it all: Don't walk in front of me I may not follow, don't walk behind me I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
