The Week Of A Summer Camp Counselor, As Told By Project Runway

This summer, I took on a job that is a summer job staple to many college students, being a camp counselor. After working camp for a few weeks, it is safe for me to assume that being a camp counselor is tiring as hell, but it also has its benefits. Not only do you get weekends off, but there are plenty of chances to feel like a kid again. So, here I present to you the typical week of a summer camp counselor. And what better way to do that than with the reality show that is filled with memes, Project Runway?

Monday

8:00 am: "Oh wow, it's the start of a new week. I'm really tired this morning, but I can't wait to meet my campers!"

Tuesday

10:00 am: "Some of these kids are not listening to me, but it's okay. I'm going to keep my cool for the time being. Maybe it was just a bad morning."

3:00 pm: "Okay, so there are two problem children that we need to keep an eye on the rest of the week. I hope they sort themselves out when we go on our field trip tomorrow."

Wednesday

9:00 am: "We told parents their kids needed to be here by now in order to get on the bus on time. Why isn't little Timmy here yet?"

12:00 pm: "I really need a break from these kids. Three campers have almost gotten lost already and they are still not listening to me. What am I doing wrong?"

3:00 pm: "Can the week be over already? I am exhausted."

Thursday

3:00 pm: "Oh, so Ryan decides now is the right time to start being bad? I thought he was one of the good ones!"

Friday

8:00 am: "Thank goodness it's Friday. I don't think my voice can take any more yelling."

11:00 am: "Awwww, they drew me a picture. That's actually really cute."

3:00 pm: "I think I'm actually going to miss them. Wait, don't cry. You can pull yourself together."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
