Camp NaNoWriMo

I have begun working on Camp NaNoWriMo, so here is an introduction

So, this summer will be taking part in Camp NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, which is November of each year and participants work to write 50,000 words in one month. Camp NaNoWriMo is similar to this but participants get to choose their own word count goal. Anything from 30 words to 999,999 words can be entered. One wins by completing their goal. Currently, I have my goal entered as 30,000 words, but I may move it up if I discover I am able to write more.

During this month and immediately following, my articles will include a lot about Camp NaNoWriMo as it will be a lot of what I will be thinking about. Once I am further into writing, I may include an excerpt from what I am writing or at least a summary.

Also part of Camp NaNoWriMo is cabins. These cabins are groups online which pledge to write whatever their given word count is. It is a community for support when you are struggling to write. The Writing Club at the College of Wooster has a cabin I am taking part in this summer.

I have started previous Camp NaNoWriMos but have never completed one, but I plan to have this year be different. I am very excited to write and I will be working on a story I have been excited to write for a while now.

I am excited to take part in this. Also terrified. As of right now, I am currently procrastinating writing by writing this article., so I should get to it. I can't wait to get to write about this experience to everybody who reads these articles, though. I better get to work on writing now.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
