The Disney college program (DCP) is a chance for college students to work at Disney Parks, this provides a great gateway to responsibility, creativity, and close friendships.

A dear friend of mine, Sammy Jo Hosler, attended the DCP during the Fall and Spring of her Junior year. Sammy Jo states that DCP is a "wonderful opportunity for college students", she recommends those who are confused in their stage at college to take a semester off to work for them.

Her favorite part of this experience was the opportunity to make friends, 2 later and she is still close with her coworkers! Aside from being able to go to a Disney park every day, there are plenty of fun events to attend to if you are in the DCP which gives you the chance to make friends outside of work or roommates.

Sammy Jo also informs that this experience showed her that you DO NOT need to spend all of your time at the parks, some of her favorite times were just with her roommate watching movies.

Also, don't be afraid to roam the parks by yourself! It can be super relaxing to just walk around and do whatever you please in your own time. Another piece of advice from Sammy Jo is that make sure to take plenty of pictures, once you come back home they are a great way to reminisce and get nostalgic over your great times at the Walt Disney Parks.

The Disney College Program can be a life-changing experience for anyone with a great attitude, work ethic, and love for Disney!

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.
