Disney World, the place known for putting smiles on families' faces and creating memories that last a lifetime.

To me, Disney was more than just a vacation: it was my home. After six months of working, earning, and playing at the Walt Disney World Resort, My Disney College Program came to a conclusion. After leaving my University for a semester, I was unsure what life would be like when I came back from Disney.

1. People will not always be happy.

I know it is a sad realization to know that people will not always share the same happiness you held inside your heart while being a Disney cast member.

2. The friendships you made at Disney will have an impact on you.

I think about the people I met at Disney nearly every day. The friends I met at Disney will never be forgotten. They have touched my life in a tremendous way.

3. Disney was not a waste of time.

In fact, Disney is very relevant to college students. The success of Disney is very well recognized in the college classroom. I have heard my professors bring up Disney many times this semester.

4. Life does go on with or without you.

Coming back, I realized how much of campus life I missed. My friends did have a fun semester without me. Now is my chance to rebuild relationships and get more in tune with my college campus along with what they have to offer.

5. College life is fun!

College means freedom, adventure, and most importantly self-discovery. All these things were possible at Disney but now you get to experience it all with your lifelong college friends.

6. People do not understand, and that is okay.

People may not relate to your Disney adventures. The Disney College Program was a very unique internship. Disney Alumni can not assume that people will comprehend what they went through.

7. No more fireworks!

Secretly this is my biggest wish, but unfortunately there will not be fireworks every night at 10 pm. The harsh reality is that fireworks are not a common aspect of college. Enjoy the wishes and illuminations while you can.

8. Normal life is stressful.

Essays, exams, quizzes, and homework are all an important part of college day to day life. Just remember why you are there in the first place.

9. Disney will be missed.

When you have six months of unlimited access to theme parks, shops, shows, and resorts, of course you will miss it. But the good news is that in my final lesson...

10. Disney will always be there.

No matter how much you miss Disney, just remember why you are in school. Disney can serve as your motivation to work hard. Someday you will be able to go back to the place that you loved so dearly.
