7 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Disney Vacay

Disney is considered the happiest place on Earth for many reasons- from the perfectly themed rides to the mouse-shaped food. Just in case you want a little more happiness in your time there, though, stick to these extra-magical tips.

Stay at a Disney Resort

It may look more expensive to start, but with Extra Magic Hours, free transportation services and more offered, staying on Disney property is oh so worth the investment.

Plan your FastPasses BEFORE you get to the parks

Bottom line, waiting in line stinks. True Disney fanatics know that and will start scheduling the biggest and best rides on their FastPass months ahead of time, so why don't you just join the craze?

Get in the doors the SECOND the park opens

If you can hit a few of your favorite rides before anyone else even gets to them, you have so much time afterwards to get to the rides that have less of a demand.

Don't feel bad about taking naps

Considering you are taking advantage of the Parks' early hours, you may need a little rest and that's okay! Take advantage of your siesta during the hottest hours of the day and get back for evening festivities.

When it comes to eating, go big AND go home

Often after a trip to Disney, the one thing leaving unhappy is your wallet. Buy some easy, cheap foods to eat for breakfast and even some lunches so that you can save your splurge money for Disney's must-see, pricey restaurants.

Get into character- there are plenty to choose from

Whether it's constantly wearing mouse ears, dressing in a full princess ballgown every day, or getting your face painted like the Na'vi tribe, take advantage of the fact that for the entire time you're at Disney, no one will look at you like you're crazy for doing it.

Make your memories and take them, too!

If you're leaving Disney without a photo in front of the famous Cinderella Castle or screaming at the top of your lungs on the Tower of Terror, did you really even go to Disney? Of course you did, but it's always important to capture those moments you'll want to look back on in the future.

Most importantly, enjoy yourself. Any Disney vacation will be an awesome vacation, but there's never any harm to taking it up a notch!

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.

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.
