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

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

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.
