I'm A Tour Guide And This Is Why I Love It
google

If you work on your campus you'll always say something along the lines of:

"I love my job!"

"My job is so chill."

"Definitely come work here, it's the best job ever!"

BUT, if you're a tour guide you might say:

"What a beautiful day to tour our campus!"

"well you know... [insert fun fact about school]

[Also insert fun story about yourself]

"I could never get bored of this job!"

What's so amazing about being a tour guide? So many things!!! Here's just a few reasons I love it and I'm sure everyone else will agree with me.

You get paid to talk about something you love!!

Yep! We do get paid. It's an actual job. We get to show people around our favorite place, tell them the best facts about our school (EX: Joe Biden attended the University of Delaware) and talk about why we love it!!!

The really awesome apparel!!

An Office of Admissions polo, quarter zip and rain coat???? Sweet!!! NOT TO MENTION THE ICONIC NAME TAG! Everyone knows what awesome job you have if they spot you in this.

The steps you get in...

If you track your steps you know what I'm talking about. Decision day is an easy 6,000+ steps. You'll be sure to win all of your challenges with your friends.

The look on their faces!!!

Honestly as a tour guide, you can tell when someone loves your school. Sometimes you get the validation from their parents when they say "Yep, she's in. She's going here." One of the best things ever is to have both parents and students say that they love the school and they're going to go. It's the most rewarding thing ever.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
