Why I Miss Camp Huawni
Camp Huawni

It's nearly the end of the year, and a new semester is coming soon. However, its almost the time for people to start counting down the days to summer. Unless, they're like me and they've been counting down since August. Now you're probably thinking, "why has she been counting down that long? Summer is great, but won't she miss her friends?" Well, the truth is, I will miss my college friends. Buuuuut, not as much as I miss my camp friends and campers during the year. Therefore, here are some things about camp that I miss all year long...

1. The campers

Whether they were my campers, or they belonged to another cabin; they're the kids I'll miss all year long.

2. My Co-counselors

From session one to session two, my co counselors were the ones who kept me sane and made sure I was always doing well. Shout out to y'all!

3. Staff meetings

Literally the only reason I didn't mind getting up at 7 am every morning!

4. Cabin time

Whether that was during cabin clean up, rest period, or before lights out, cabin time is always the best time with my sweet campers!

5. The community

Whether it was being around the guy counselors or the girl counselors, camp community is the best. We spend every waking moment together, and these people become your family for the summer. Camp family is honestly the best kind of un-biological family!

6. The breaks (sorry, campers)

Considering breaks are usually spend with at least one other counselor, they can be the best. We get to relax and have adult time and it's honestly so stress-relieving.

7. Activities

Capture the flag, the critter, hikes, fishing, and many more. Seeing the campers (and even the counselors) smiles during these times makes it all worth it!

8. Meal times

We eat, we sing, we dance, we have mail time. These times are the times we look forward to because the entire camp gets to be together. Even dish duty can be fun if you're with your pals!

9. Traditions

Fishing, tribal comp, cabin traditions, and sing song are all part of the fun at Camp Huawni!

10. The nature

I mean, wow, look at this place! It's indescribable!

11. My directors

Every single one of our bosses (from our director of operations to our CEO -of fun-), each and every one of our directors make being a counselor at Camp Huawni so easy!

12. Everything... Literally, EVERYTHING

Well, I can't say anything bad about camp, so I guess I can sum it up to everything about camp is what makes it so special.

Sooo... If you think you would want to miss any of these things during the year, think about Camp Huawni! Look at our website (http://www.camphuawni.com/), and think about applying! We're a pretty rad bunch of people and would love to have you with us!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
