Last week I have had the most magical time in Walt Disney World along with some of my great friends. Going to the parks is amazing all on its own but there are some essential things that I was glad I brought.

In the parks, you are allowed to bring backpacks to haul around any personal belongings you may want to bring. Prior to arriving at the park, I made sure to pack some things that I thought would be essential to bring to three of the parks.

Check out the list of some of the things I packed below:

Hand sanitizer

Having hand sanitizer on you will be a lifesaver any time you need to wash your hands but are stuck in a 30-minute wait for a ride. No one likes to have sticky hands, let alone dirty hands. Personally, I like to keep a mini one that I'm able to latch on to my pack as a key chain.

A pack of tissues

You never know when you may need to blow your nose or clean off your hands.

Advil/Allergy meds

Walking through the parks, I walked an average of 8 miles at each park. Walking can really take a toll on your feet and legs if you are not used to doing so much. Carrying Advil or any other pain medicine can help with the soreness. Also, if you're like me, sometimes allergies hit me out of nowhere. Having allergy medicine in hand will assure me that my day won't be ruined by constant sneezing.

Sunglasses

Don't forget that Florida is the Sunshine State!

Hat

Wearing a hat protects your face from the sun while also keeping your face cool.

Refillable water bottle

While you can find many water fountains throughout the parks, it's handy to have a bottle you can refill at any water station. In the heat of the summer, you don't want to get stuck in a long line and not have access to water.

Portable phone charger

Being in the Disney parks for 10+ hours can take a toll on your phone battery, especially if you use it a lot to take videos or pictures. Having a portable phone charger or battery pack will assure that you can still get those Instagram-worthy pics.

Snacks

It's no surprise that food in the parks can be rather pricey. Packing light snacks, like granola bars, will keep the hunger at bay and will let you save your hunger for the bigger meals, ultimately saving you big bucks.

Poncho

Did you really go to Disney World if it didn't rain? Every time I have gone, there is at least one day where we get rained on. Ponchos are light and reusable so it makes for good protection from some rain showers.

Your phone

While this one is a no-brainer, I'm mostly referring to the Disney Parks app. This app can be downloaded onto your phone and while on the app, you can get fast passes, place a mobile order at a quick-dine place, look up wait times for rides, and more! This is your key to finding your way throughout the park.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
