SheKnows

Everyone loves camp. It's a time to leave behind your everyday life for at least a week and enjoy yourself. Camp provides you with a variety of activities that everyone is sure to love, from swimming to hiking. While being at camp is fun, packing for camp is not. But don't fear, I'm here to help your packing go quicker so you can get to the good stuff! Here is a list of the top five things you need to bring to camp!

1. Appropriate Attire

Clothes are important anywhere you go, so it is important to bring the right type of clothing with you. But remember, this is camp so you shouldn't over-pack (too much anyway).

2. Recreational Activity Equipment

Whether you love volleyball, fishing, or hiking you need the proper equipment! If you plan on going fishing and forget your rod what kind of fun would you be having? I'll tell you what kind of fun, no fun at all.

3. Skin Protections

From sunscreen to bug spray, keeping your skin protected is vital to having a good time! Nobody wants to be the person who is the color of a tomato, stuck inside avoiding any further contact with the sun. And if you're itchy due to bug bites, you won't be able to focus on anything other than that annoying itch!

4. Hygiene Products

DO NOT FORGET THESE! These are essential to your everyday life for obvious reasons, so why wouldn't they be important on a camping trip?


5. Snacks

I don't know about you, but I know I always have a much better time doing things knowing my favorite snacks are going to be involved. So always bring good snacks with you, because even if the rest of your trip doesn't go as planned, at least you'll have good food!


There you have it, the top five things you need to bring with you to camp! Now go have fun at camp.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
