17 Signs You Went To Camp Ramah In The Berkshires
Rachel Underweiser

Every summer camp is different so it is impossible to fully understand the culture of a camp until you have lived through its unique bipolar showers and its mysterious mac and cheese. As the weather is getting warmer, I find myself thinking about my own camp experience and the wacky culture that is Ramah Berkshires. So, in anticipation of summer 2016, here are 17 signs you went to Camp Ramah in the Berkshires. *Bubbe approved*

1. The dance to The Turkish Kiss has been your jam for as long as you can remember. Turn it up!

2. You know how to memorize a script for a musical in less than a week and somehow have it turn out OK. Oh, and did I mention it's all in Hebrew?

3. You remember that painful moment when canteen changed from three items to two items (And got rid of peanuts. That was rough).

4. Ben and Jerry's (BJ's) is precious. Half Baked all the way!

5. How Solelimers act when they get their first night of curfew.

6. The sensation of sitting in the make out pagoda during B-Side free time with your B-Side Buddy.

7. You add cinnamon sugar to about every breakfast meal.

8. You understand the meaning of "make new friends" on Palmer day.

9. The moment when Rabbi Resnick is interrupted during Hinei Ma Tov.

10. You understand the struggle of trying to wake up your live-in for tefillot.

11. The glory that came with finding the freaking elephant.

12. When the waiter takes your table's order first at Putman.

13. The feeling after getting free soda at Cedar Point.

14. Visiting friends or campers at the marp like:

15. When your bunk has pack-out and suddenly there are 17 campers in your bunk (three are in the marp, obviously).

16. How you felt after most chug practices the week before Palmer Day.

17. You have found your soulmates.

There is something special about the people who wanted to run and hug you just after you went mud sliding or thought you were wonderful even when there was clearly food stuck in your braces. These are the people who will sing on tree stumps with you in the middle of the night and the people who will show up at your wedding someday with the longest list of stories to share. Thank you for loving me, I love you guys!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
