Things That Are Only A Big Deal At Camp

In the heat of the summer when you haven't been in public in weeks, these situations seem like the end of the world. After having real human contact and actually closing the door to use the bathroom, you can reflect and notice how childish the drama was.

1. Who won Color War rope burn

2. Who specifically came up with the best line in the Alma Mater

3. Who had their first kiss with the same boy that six other girls in the same bunk had their first kiss with

4. Who got caught sneaking out

5. Where the best place is to hide contraband (cell phones, cough drops, etc)

6. Who brought the best old dance costumes for bunk unities

7. Which bunk got the counselor that was hooking up with the hottest male staff

8. Whose home friend ruined the outcome of the summer season of the Bachelor through a letter

9. Where the more crafty parents hid candy in care packages

10. Who made out with a younger boy

11. Who had the most vibrantly colored Sugar Lips tank tops

12. Who has to sleep on the top bunk

13. Who gets the shortest cubbies ("but those ones are wider," "she doesn't have as many clothes as me")

14. Who was the first pick in the league's draft

15. Who was playing in Color War varsity hockey vs who was only picked for A team hockey

16. Who decided it was a good idea to get a hickey the night before visiting day

17. Who brought the loudest portable speakers

18. That one girl that doesn't share her bathing suits

19. Sleeping next to the girl that "only comes back for the activities"

20. The proper disposal of sanitary products

21. When your best friend gets the last spot in the waterskiing elective and you have to find something else to do

22. Who had to leave after the first session for a family vacation

23. Who didn't get invited to whose Bat Mitzvah the school year before

24. When a Color War camper captain was on a power trip

25. Who could find the most creative act for the Talent Show

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?

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.
