An orientation leader is this special breed of student. They put up with ridiculous questions, they make sure the new students are where they are supposed to be. They decorate campus, they help with move in day, they eat fast and never sleep enough. Orientation week is the best worst week for them. But, all the fun of the week outweighs the countless times they have to tell freshman that all the activities are mandatory, and they will find you if you fail to show up.

The mind of an OL is a scary place, if any are like me; I'm full of sarcasm that I have a hard time keeping to myself. Nothing shows an orientation leader's inner monologue better than Amanda Bynes and "She's The Man."

1. "Tell us something about yourself."

2. Pumping yourself up before going into training.

3. "Are you excited to finally meet your group and get started?"

4. When you finally meet your group and try to be cool.

5. "Are all these activities really mandatory?"

Yes. They are.

6. When you have to meet your group in five minutes, but you want to finish eating first.

Because nothing says, "Welcome to college," like a hangry orientation leader.

7. When you try to give them college advice, but you're really just winging it.

8. When parents ask, "Are there a lot of parties on campus?"

9. When you have said for the 500th time that the activity is mandatory.

10. When the week is finally over, and you realize you get more than four hours of sleep.

11. "Are you going to sign up again for next year?"
