Things I've Said To My Campers

Being a counselor for 9-13 year old's has been pretty eventful. All of these were said by either me or one of my co-counselors.

1. Stop being naked all the time.


2. No, Spread the peanut butter, don't hit it. We use the knife for spreading, not for hitting.

3. Stop rubbing each other.

4. Don't pee on people. And don't threaten to pee on them, either.

5. Pick the shirt off the floor. Put it in the opening of your duffel bag. Don't fold the bag and put the shirt there, bags don't work like that. In the opening. Good. Now take the zipper. Very good. Now zip it up. Congrats, you've figured out how to put things in a bag.

6. If you walk in front of me buck-naked clutching your clothes in your arm, saying, "I'm going to change in the shower because I care about my privacy", you clearly don't care about your privacy.

7. Stop watching the boys change.Stop watching the boys pee.

8. Stop chasing after your crush. No I mean stop literally running after him blowing kisses. He doesn't like that. I know because he told me.
Stop talking about your family's racist tendencies.

9. Your nipple's out.

10. Stop moaning. Now.


11. Even in a foreign language, you still can't curse.

12. If your water bottle fell in the porta-potty, for Pete's sake just throw it out.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
