Counselors are just big campers and being a camp counselor is the best summer job ever.

Whether you're in it for the income or the outcome, camp counselors can relate to these ridiculous facts. 

1. You take three showers a week, at most, and you're okay with that. After a long day of hiking the trails with a pack of wild first graders pulling on your hands, all you want is a nice shower at the end of the night, but your campers are already asleep. Never wake a sleeping camper, your cleanliness isn't that important.

2. You sing camp songs even when you're off. They're just so catchy you can't help it. Good luck getting them out of your head.

3. You get asked a million questions a day. From questions about the schedule to prying questions about your personal life and just plain ridiculous "what if" questions, the curious little kiddos never stop.

4. Your wardrobe consists of shorts, t-shirts, Chacos and crazy Goodwill finds. It's easy to forget how to dress like a real person when you get to be a big kid all summer. What are jeans?!

5) You're always tired. There is never a time that you're not tired, but your campers would never know it. 

6. You eat the same meals every week. You might be growing tired of french toast sticks every Thursday morning, but your campers think camp food is gourmet.

7. You know all about plunging toilets. Your campers don't understand that they don't need to use a whole roll of toilet paper every time they use the bathroom. Camp plumbing is not too good.

8. Your staff is like one huge family. You spend the whole summer together. Everyone knows everyone's secrets, but you love it anyway.

9. You have a bigger appreciation for snail mail. Your campers get letters all the time, why shouldn't you?

10. Most importantly, you love what you do. Even though you get frustrated and exhausted, you love your job and everything about it. Campers think you're the coolest person on earth and it's probably because you are. There's no place I'd rather be.
