It's that time of year again... open houses and campus tours! As college ambassadors, we look forward to events geared towards upcoming freshman. It gets even more exciting when accepted student days arrive early April. Although there are many other things all ambassadors have in common, the following ten are ones that I resonate with.

1. Open House/ Accepted Student days are what we live for.

Sign me up.

2. Campus food gets 100x better for the weekend.

Calzones, bread knots, cake WITH frosting, fried macaroni and cheese, the list goes on. Does it get any better??

3. You get to wear your name tag and school garb to represent your school in the best possible way.

Name tag? Check. Khakis? Check. Ambassador scarf? Check.

4. It’s alway exciting to meet prospective students.

You might even be overly enthusiastic...

5. Being able to tell parents and students about all of the great clubs/ organizations on campus, (especially the ones that you are in).

So you should definitely join the Odyssey and Relay for Life.

6. You pray for good weather on tour days because nobody likes to walk in the rain.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

7. We aren’t an ambassador for the money; we do it because we love representing our school.

Gooooooo Warriors!

8. When you meet a prospective student from your hometown, it’s kind of a big deal (okay, it's a major big deal).

I'm from Maine. Wait you're from Maine too??

9. After a day of tours, discussions with parents and students, ambassadors love debriefing with their friends about how their day went.

"Ugh, my feet hurt." "I barely had lunch today." "So when's the next open house?"

10. Even if you have to wake up early on a weekend, it doesn’t matter; being an ambassador is what we live for!

Rise and shine, future college students!
