1. Pin Trading

Pin Trading is a family-favorite activity to do in all Disney Parks. Many people take joy in trading pins with other guests and cast members. Whether it is to complete a collection or just the act of interacting with cast members itself, all members of the family can partake in this interactive pastime. Plus, the pins make great souvenirs to take home with you at the end of the trip!

2. Resort Hop

Every single resort in Walt Disney World is unique in its own way! There are about twenty-five resorts in Walt Disney World, and each one is worth exploring. Take a moment to observe the scenery and decorations of each resort, grab a bite to eat in one of the restaurants, or shop in the resort’s exceptional gift shop. The best part is, you do have to have a reservation in order to enter the resort areas!

3. Shop till you Drop

Shopping at Walt Disney World is like no other shopping experience, whether it be in your hotel’s gift shop, Disney Springs, or in the many shops located throughout the parks. Each shop offers many different Disney merchandise that make the perfect addition to your home. You simply cannot go to Walt Disney World without shopping at least once [a day]!

4. Catch a Show

Walt Disney World offers so many different shows for all age-groups that are sure to keep the whole family entertained. Some personal favorites include “It’s a Bug’s Life” at Animal Kingdom, “Fantasmic!” at Hollywood Studios, “Festival of the Lion King” at Animal Kingdom, and “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” at Epcot. Every single show at Walt Disney World is sure to keep you entertained.

5. Meet Characters

What better place to meet your favorite Disney Character than at Walt Disney World. Characters such as Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Cinderella, Aladdin, Gaston, Ariel, Buzz Lightyear, and Woody (along with many more) are all available for you meet and interact with. Meeting these characters will be an experience that you will never forget, but be sure to actually take the time to talk with them! You never know what Gaston might say to you!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
