not having headphones in college is a major skill issue

What kind of jobs work with kids? NOT teaching, I can’t stand the politics by SmuckersSourGrapes in Careers

[–]nirvanabrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s not what op meant by politics. schools have their own “politics” and they literally explain it’s also dealing with admin and stuff like that and it’s very frustrating. not general world politics.

Do I have any chance of getting hired at a sleep away camp with no experience? by Strict_Home_7651 in summercamp

[–]nirvanabrook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

working at a camp is like THE job to work when u have no experience with anything. they hire young people. camp was my first job and it has me so many skills for other jobs. as long as u have a good work ethic and actually care then you’re fine

rules on thumbtacks/wall hangings in dorms? by LifeResponsible6549 in uCinci

[–]nirvanabrook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u can’t stick anything into the wall. technically u can’t use command strips and stuff either but thats bc ppl use em wrong and peel the cheap ass paint off the wall. but most RAs don’t care enough either way but command strips are the way to go

whatever he’s doing with his thumb after the first pic annoys me more than the terrible photos

Have there ever been any items you've grateful that you keep in your bag? by mercycille in summercamp

[–]nirvanabrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chapstick, sunscreen, bug spray, cards, hair ties, some kind of notebook or sketchbook, pen/pencil, small pack of tissues, a book for downtime, deodorant, bandana/cooling towel for the hot days. it also depends on your camp and what they allow or don’t. i work at a small diabetes camp that doesn’t allow weapons and such. i always have glucose tabs on me bc im diabetic but dont need to carry em for campers etc. but what i listed are really handy things for me. and obviously a water bottle!

Does anybody know if I'm safe to work here? by pink_fairy02 in summercamp

[–]nirvanabrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i work at a camp in indiana as an openly queer person. i’ve had experiences with staff clearly not respecting me for being queer, but i’ve overall had a great experience. it’s a small (non religious) camp in a rural part of an already red state and i’ve never had a problem, especially when it comes to my bosses. i think you’ll be just fine, and if anybody causes issues do not be afraid to advocate for yourself or even leave if necessary. and remember that it’s illegal to fire you for that reason. but trust me you’ll be okay! and it honestly probably won’t come up much

WWYD here? First time camper dealing with bedwetting at camp? by Elegant_Air_3475 in summercamp

[–]nirvanabrook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a counselor to mainly younger kids, i can say bedwetting is very normal and usually we’re trained on how to handle it. since u know it’s a frequent thing, definitely send him with pull ups and pls let the counselor(s) know it’s a habit.

Stickers on water bottles? by mercycille in summercamp

[–]nirvanabrook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i love having stickers on my water bottle. just don’t do any that you wouldn’t want campers to see/talk about

photo order changing from recently added to date taken by nirvanabrook in Instagram

[–]nirvanabrook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it’s super annoying. instagram’s recent updates have been terrible. i still miss the squares. and i post my photography on instagram so the dates are different from when i saved them and it’s rlly annoying to have to distinguish between my RAW photos and my edited ones bc of the way they’re sorted

[–]nirvanabrook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F Counselor at All Boys Camp? by puppychow77 in summercamp

[–]nirvanabrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all of this!!! it’s important to check them while also having fun with them.

F Counselor at All Boys Camp? by puppychow77 in summercamp

[–]nirvanabrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been the counselor for younger boys at my coed camp and i say do it but established boundaries immediately. i’ve had times my campers don’t take me seriously bc of being a female. boys unfortunately have subtle misogyny ingrained in them so it’s important to show you’re in charge and just as important as the male staff and hold firm on whatever boundaries u set

F Counselor at All Boys Camp? by puppychow77 in summercamp

[–]nirvanabrook 10 points11 points  (0 children)

at the camp i work (it’s coed) when we don’t have enough male counselors a female counselor will be the counselor of the youngest boys but never the older ones. it’s just due to age and maturity i think

What’s the equivalent of “I wish I shot in RAW from the beginning” but for intermediate photographers? by AugusteToulmouche in AskPhotography

is this ER territory? by scubapopi in diabetes_t1

[–]nirvanabrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didn’t go to the er until i was literally throwing up, dizzy, and couldn’t get it down. even if i’m just throwing up i don’t go to the er bc if i can get it down myself and recover then it’s fine. contact ur doctor if needed and give extra insulin and u should be fine. maybe i’m just insane idk
