The Chronicles Of A Camp Counselor: Kid Quotes Edition

It's been six months since I was forced to return to the real world after being a camp counselor all summer. I grew a lot as a person and learned an incredible amount, but the biggest lesson I learned was just how weird and funny kids are. The phrase "kids say the darnedest things" took on a whole new meaning.

I was recently scrolling through pictures of my time during the summer, and came across pages and pages of day-camper (6-10 year olds) quotes that we kept updated on notebook paper taped to the refrigerator, so with only three months until I return, I thought I'd share the top 10 camper quotes of last summer.

1. "I'm going to paris to destroy the world's largest ant colony with a bazooka."

2. "If you say cuss words you go to jail."

3. "I did four sit ups today. I'm trying to get myself bikini ready."

4. "Yeah I'm special because for some reason wherever I go I get whatever I want."

5. Counselor: "Can you please help me find the remote?"

Camper: Rolling eyes and groaning "It's right here."

Counselor: No, that's just a stapler...

6. Counselor to camper: What did you name your rats?

Other Camper: "You should name them fat ass!"

7. "I came here because I thought I could be free...(jumps off pillar) why can't you just let me be free!"

8. "THERE'S A BABY IN MY MOM'S STOMACH AND IT'S EATING HER INSIDES!!!"

9. Camper 1: "We have pimples."

Camper 2: "Actually, they're called nipples."

10. "I drink New York Milk, so that makes me half New York."

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.

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.
