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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
