Announcing The Second Coming Of MagicBands
Inside The Magic


Ahh yes, Magic Bands. These bands that we all have a love/hate relationship with, bands that hold the key to ALMOST everything on Disney property.
But just in case you've been living under a rock and don't know what these things are, allow me to explain: Magic bands are waterproof bracelets that you can link to your My Disney Experience account that will link your room key, Fast Pass+ reservations, Memory Maker account, and a credit card (if you chose to link one at your resort). Its basically your wallet on your wrist. After you start planning, they give you the option to assign colors to your bands with everyone's name included on them, and they obviously look like the above photo.

Now, if you're a huge Disney fan (which obviously why wouldn't you be), back in November during the D23 event that was held at the Contemporary Resort, Disney announced the second coming of the magic bands, affectionally called MagicBands 2 (seriously Disney, can't you come up with a better name than that?).


Now, there is a difference with these bands. First off, they have that center puck that can actually pop out, so if you don't feel like wearing it on your arm (because you know, it gets all sweaty and icky, plus there's that SUPER cute tan line) you can actually attach it to a carabiner clip (or whatever keychain you have but seeing how Disney gets, a carabiner clip just makes more sense) and yes, you can still customize it at Disney Springs and they still have accessories called MagicKeepers that you can pop onto your little puck for that extra little magic hanging off your clip, in the form of Mickey ears or Minnie ears. On December 16th, Disney released the first batch of new magic bands for the 45th Anniversary of the Magic Kingdom, and since then, they've released new patterns that have the 2017 logo on it and even Dooney and Bourke have released new patterns for their magic bands (and as far as I remember, they've since been sold out).

When it all comes down to it, you'll still be able to use your old magic bands that you've been hording since god knows when, when the new ones are released.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
