The Chronicles Of A Camp Counselor: Kid Quotes Edition
facebook

It's been six months since I was forced to return to the real world after being a camp counselor all summer. I grew a lot as a person and learned an incredible amount, but the biggest lesson I learned was just how weird and funny kids are. The phrase "kids say the darnedest things" took on a whole new meaning.

I was recently scrolling through pictures of my time during the summer, and came across pages and pages of day-camper (6-10 year olds) quotes that we kept updated on notebook paper taped to the refrigerator, so with only three months until I return, I thought I'd share the top 10 camper quotes of last summer.

1. "I'm going to paris to destroy the world's largest ant colony with a bazooka."

2. "If you say cuss words you go to jail."

3. "I did four sit ups today. I'm trying to get myself bikini ready."

4. "Yeah I'm special because for some reason wherever I go I get whatever I want."

5. Counselor: "Can you please help me find the remote?"

Camper: Rolling eyes and groaning "It's right here."

Counselor: No, that's just a stapler...

6. Counselor to camper: What did you name your rats?

Other Camper: "You should name them fat ass!"

7. "I came here because I thought I could be free...(jumps off pillar) why can't you just let me be free!"

8. "THERE'S A BABY IN MY MOM'S STOMACH AND IT'S EATING HER INSIDES!!!"

9. Camper 1: "We have pimples."

Camper 2: "Actually, they're called nipples."

10. "I drink New York Milk, so that makes me half New York."

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.
