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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
