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.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
