It's nearly the end of the year, and a new semester is coming soon. However, its almost the time for people to start counting down the days to summer. Unless, they're like me and they've been counting down since August. Now you're probably thinking, "why has she been counting down that long? Summer is great, but won't she miss her friends?" Well, the truth is, I will miss my college friends. Buuuuut, not as much as I miss my camp friends and campers during the year. Therefore, here are some things about camp that I miss all year long...

1. The campers

Whether they were my campers, or they belonged to another cabin; they're the kids I'll miss all year long.

2. My Co-counselors

From session one to session two, my co counselors were the ones who kept me sane and made sure I was always doing well. Shout out to y'all!

3. Staff meetings

Literally the only reason I didn't mind getting up at 7 am every morning!

4. Cabin time

Whether that was during cabin clean up, rest period, or before lights out, cabin time is always the best time with my sweet campers!

5. The community

Whether it was being around the guy counselors or the girl counselors, camp community is the best. We spend every waking moment together, and these people become your family for the summer. Camp family is honestly the best kind of un-biological family!

6. The breaks (sorry, campers)

Considering breaks are usually spend with at least one other counselor, they can be the best. We get to relax and have adult time and it's honestly so stress-relieving.

7. Activities

Capture the flag, the critter, hikes, fishing, and many more. Seeing the campers (and even the counselors) smiles during these times makes it all worth it!

8. Meal times

We eat, we sing, we dance, we have mail time. These times are the times we look forward to because the entire camp gets to be together. Even dish duty can be fun if you're with your pals!

9. Traditions

Fishing, tribal comp, cabin traditions, and sing song are all part of the fun at Camp Huawni!

10. The nature

I mean, wow, look at this place! It's indescribable!

11. My directors

Every single one of our bosses (from our director of operations to our CEO -of fun-), each and every one of our directors make being a counselor at Camp Huawni so easy!

12. Everything... Literally, EVERYTHING

Well, I can't say anything bad about camp, so I guess I can sum it up to everything about camp is what makes it so special.

Sooo... If you think you would want to miss any of these things during the year, think about Camp Huawni! Look at our website (http://www.camphuawni.com/), and think about applying! We're a pretty rad bunch of people and would love to have you with us!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
