An Open Letter To My Camp Friends

An Open Letter To My Camp Friends
Isaac Anderson

The time at camp is nothing like it is here back at home

and i'm sure you can easily identify with that

life here is crazy and jam packed

i miss the times where it was Monday morning and we would all be waiting at the drop off zones for the kids that were going to be with us for the next week

i miss the times where it would be Thursday morning and all of our kids are yelling and screaming and we're dreaming about coffee

i miss the Friday night bonfires where we would hear everything that our kids learned through out the week

i miss the baked oatmeal that was oh so scrumptious to my belly

sometimes i wish that i could be back at camp where is was crazy... but crazy fun

sometimes i sit in the cafeteria on campus paranoid that someones going to make me ride a broom into a lake

sometimes i wake up wondering whose vomit i'm going to clean up tonight or whose blood sugar needs checked

and i honestly miss that

life at camp was hard, but the memories will never be forgotten

ill never forget my support staff tackling me in the lake

ill never forget the stupid kitchen staff dumping my mountain dew jug out

ill never forget the movie runs on Saturday's

ill never forget that look of pure evil in some of the campers that wanted to throw me into the lake

ill never forget the undeserved love that i received from the boys assigned to my cabin

ill never forget the God moments

ill never forget the bonds that i made with my high school boys

ill never forget the guy in my cabin that accepted Christ outside the animal barn

i'd go back in a heartbeat

but God has me here, back at home

so as an encouragement to my brothers and sisters who served with me this summer

enjoy where you are now

i understand it is hard

i understand college life sucks sometimes

but God doesn't make mistakes

always remember that.

I miss you all.

In Christ,

(Counselor) Isaac Anderson

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
