list of things I learned while spending ten days with complete strangers who've turned into great friends

• People are supportive
• Humility is not lost
• Nature is wonderful
• A lack of cell phone service surprisingly doesn't take that long to get used to
• Hiking is so refreshing
• I'm really good at learning people's names fairly quickly
• Jumping off of a 40ft pole is exhilarating (with a harness, of course)
• The stars are beautiful
• Sweat is so normal
• Spiders aren't really that bad
• I'm extremely ticklish between my toes
• Bee stings suck
• Sometimes you have to accept the fact that crocs are all that are gonna fit your feet because of said bee sting
• Laughter is so important, but sometimes so is crying
• I've missed singing with a group
• Faith is a wonderful thing if you choose to believe, but so is making your own decision on what you choose to believe
• The smell of a campfire makes me feel at home
• Climbing a wall with no rope is the hardest thing I've ever done, but with people who were once complete strangers pushing me up and pulling me over, it was completely doable
• You're never too old to pass notes to a friend
• Summer camp is pretty cool
• Also SQUAD!
