What It's Like To Run A Summer Art Camp Told Through Gifs

Art Camp is not just fun and games; it's a lot of hard work too!

When you see the value of what really goes in to getting supplies and materials


Fine art = lots of dollar signs...


That feeling you get on the first day when you see those eager, smiling faces of the students



When you see a student almost paint another student...


Soooo much G L I T T E R!


When you hear a child say, "I love art" or "This is fun"


When your job for the day is to live, breathe, your favorite artist


#RIPVanGogh

When you and the art teacher have officially bonded and are basically family now



That tingly feeling you get when you open up a new pack of markers or pour out fresh paint

Ahhh yes- it's like a breath of fresh air.

Cleaning up after Painting Day like...



Cleaning paint brushes especially seems like it lasts years.

When you see the students complete art projects beyond your expectations


Running back and forth to supervise and help students like



When you finish out the week with beautiful projects, happy children and parents, knowing you made a difference, and have a full heart

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
