Hello Harold readers! Its the last day of camp and you find yourself, packing up a bit, gathering a list if contacts, and bracing yourself for the end of camp. Let us remember the best things that Satori had to offer. Here is a list of some memories you might take with you:
#10. The roommates. Whether you’ve known them for a long time or just met them this week, you all know you had great moments with your roommate that you will remember for the rest of the year and beyond.
#9. The classes. Yes, learning in the summer is what we do. Unlike classroom learning, Satori learning is more about expanding your current knowledge in a way other classes can’t. The teachers, classmates, and yes, even the freezing rooms will be great memories to keep after this week.
#8. The drinks. Coffee and smoothies. What else can be said? Sure, there is always a Starbucks or smoothie shop around, but it is nothing much compared to Freshens and Thomas Hammer, where you and your Satori mates just chilled before classes, and took things slowly to start your day with an EWU boost.
#7. The CITs, Counselors, teachers, cooks, and Mike. (Basically those who are large and in charge here at camp) The people who make Satori possible. These people taking their summer vacations to spend time with you. But who can blame them? We all want to be here. Be sure to thank them as you leave.
#6. The dorms, lobby, elevators, and Pubert. The place you called home for the week. Whenever you had to go to sleep or find a space of your own, you would say, “I’m going to MY room.” The fun elevator is the very natural habitat of Pubert the Elevator poltergeist. And the spacious cozy atmosphere of the lobby is where the piano sing-alongs and dub-step dance parties were held. Yes, the cylindrical building that 152 of us called our home for the week will be remembered forever.
#5. The Time Traveler’s Ball. Formerly known as the Medieval Feast, this event with a very successful name change expanded the variety of usable costumes such as cavemen, hippies, cars, kings, and of course, time travelers. With the best dinner being served and seeing the true authority of King Cantlon, the very first Satori Time Traveler’s Ball has been a success.
#4. The PUB. Where all of the evening meetings were held, and where some of the fun evening activities started. We will miss clapping for those who received their lost items and mail, and sitting down to watch the amazing skits on skit night. This is where all of the campers were truly together in one building on one floor. This building has held many memories for all of us campers.
#3. Recreation and friends. After a long day of increasing your knowledge, you made plans to go swimming, ice skating, or just hanging out and talking at the PHASE, all cool locations with great people. (Many of whom you will not see for a very long time.) Naturally, this will be missed.
#2. This piece of paper that your holding. THE SATORI HAROLD. An update of the day, a collection of fun, informative articles, and puzzles. No more Harold's waiting for you at your room. This will be missed. Look on Facebook to get a dose of The Harold during the year.
#1. EVERYTHING!!! No need for explanation. You know you want camp to last longer. Being permanently etched into your memories, Satori is what will be missed the most.
