You're never too old to wish upon a star.

Why I Still Love Disney In My 20s
Travel and Leisure

If you know me at all you know that I love Disney. I mean, come on, who doesn't?

Disney has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm 99.99999999% sure that I'm a Disney princess. To this day family and friends associate Disney with me, especially Ariel. (She's my favorite.) When I was little I would pretend that my rocking chair was the big rock that Ariel was on when the waves crashed on it and I would sing at the top of my lungs "PART OF YOUR WOOOOOORRRRLLLLLDDDDD!"

I even had my own Chip cup, a Dalmatian stuffed animal, and a Simba stuffed animal. Trust me I can go on and on, but I'll spare you.

I make sure that whenever Disney On Ice comes to my city that I'm there. A few years ago I took my baby brother and cousin and seeing their faces light up when the characters came out was adorable. But I'm pretty sure I was more excited than they were.



Oh, and you can't forget the snow cones!

Disney is something that never gets old. Back in the day I never really realized the deep messages that the movies portrayed. When I was little 'ole me I loved how everything was so magical, happy, full of songs and love, and how everyone lived happily ever after. (Even after the death of Mufasa, but that's besides the point.) I still do, but it strikes a different chord within me now. So many life lessons can be learned from the movies if you watch them today.

I truly believe that we all are fighting our own battles... But with trust, faith, and pixie dust we can surpass it all. Disney has a way of making me feel like I'm not alone. It gives me a sense of magic and my own happily ever after. Disney reminds me that love is magical and that someday my prince will come. (See what I did there?)I've been to Disney 3 times. I'd be lying if I said that each visit wasn't as magical as the last. Going to Disney World is something I recommend that everyone put on their bucket list. It truly is a magical experience, regardless of your age. One of my favorite parts of going to Disney is meeting the characters. I fan girl every time I meet Ariel.

I wish I could thank Walt Disney himself for coming up with his idea... It all started with a mouse.


Disney reassures me that it's okay to be myself. Here I am, a 20-something, in love with all things Disney. Do I care what you think? Nope. Disney is a part of who I am. Hakuna matata is my motto. I gladly wear my Ariel shirts and sing 'Let it Go' at the top of my lungs.

I know for a fact that my love for Disney will never ever cease. I know that one day I will be that mom who plans a vacation to Disney for her kids but in reality it'll be for me.

Like I always say, you're never too old for Disney.

P.S. I can't wait for Moana.

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.
