I'm Doing The Disney College Program!

I'm so happy to be able to say that I'll be attending the Disney College Program Spring Advantage program 2016! I found out that I was accepted on Thursday, October 1st. I'm excited to announce this new opportunity on a platform that has given me so many awesome opportunities. During my time in Florida, I plan on writing my weekly articles as blog posts about my experiences in Disney World.


I applied for the Disney College Program on Thursday September 24th after attending an informational meeting at UW-Whitewater about it the night before. The same day I applied, I received my email about my web-based interview. After I passed through my web-based interview, I scheduled my phone interview. My phone interview took place on the evening of Tuesday, September 29th. I was shocked to say the least that I heard back so quickly, 2 days later, on Thursday.


Words cannot describe how excited I am to be working at Walt Disney World. I haven't been to Disney World since I was 3 years old, when I was very afraid of the characters in costume. Some of my first concrete memories are from my family's vacation to Disney; Cinderella's castle at night with fireworks, Chef Mickey's breakfast, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride, and all the stores filled with millions of stuffed animals.


Disney has been such a huge part of my life ever since I can remember. My parents honeymooned in Walt Disney World in 1990, so I was raised in a Disney-loving household. I've been watching and loving Disney Pixar films my entire life; my first Halloween I went as Minnie Mouse, and when I was 18 I went as Tinkerbell.

My job title is Quick Service Food & Beverage. I could be working at a food cart/stand and/or restaurant, and I won't find out my specific assignment (park/location) until I get to Florida. I'm excited about my assignment, because I enjoyed my time working at Texas Roadhouse so much.


I will be living in a gated apartment complex, where a shuttle bus will take me to & from Disney. The apartment buildings are very nice and I could have up to 5 other roommates. My rent will be automatically taken out of my weekly paycheck, which is so nice because I don't have to worry about it.


I arrive to Disney on January 25th and leave May 19th. I'm so thankful for the support of my amazing family (my Mom started screaming & crying when I called her over the phone to tell her the news) and thank you to all of my friends! I'm so excited for what the future holds for me!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
