11 Signs You're a VBS Volunteer

Vacation Bible School is the best and most exhausting weeks out of the whole summer. However, with all of the chaotic-ness amongst the children, they are learning about the most important book in all of history. Shoutout to all of the volunteers during this amazing week and some signs that you can hopefully relate to!

1. You know how much preparation truly goes into this week

Volunteers needed. Decorations in tact. Performance date set aside. Prayers. Everything needs to be planned in the months before.

2. Decorations galore

Found a place giving away cardboard for free? Or the whole church donating a ton of milk jugs? Let's make an igloo that can hold 10 kids. It'll be great.

3. You have literally ALL of the songs memorized by the second day

You find yourself singing them in the middle of Walmart.

4. For some reason, all of the little kids don't annoy you THAT much

Then again, it's only a week.

5. Potty breaks are scheduled down to the minute

"Okay, who needs to go to the bathroom while were over here?"

6. FREE SNACKS

Yasssssssss. Shoutout to all of the ladies who go above and beyond with the snacks each year. (and yes that is a submarine)

7. You already know which days games are going to get messy

Water. Water. Water.

8. You know just where that "one kid" is hiding

"Have you seen [insert name here]?" "Oh yea they just ran down that way.."

9. "Hey you..."

60 names is hard to remember and everyone gets called "Hey you"

10. You spread the Gospel each day

The Word of God is the most important part of Vacation Bible School.

11. You have the songs and actions embedded in your head for years to come

Trust me on this...I can sing all of the books of the Bible and do all of the actions to Amazing Grace.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
