For Our Inner 5 Year Old
http://www.minitime.com/trip-tips/How-to-Make-the-Most-of-Your-Disneyland-Getaway-article

We're all filled with the spirit of our 5-year-old selves and sometimes it shines through when we clap feverishly with excitement or when we have a tantrum (more controlled tantrum) when we don't get our way. Sometimes that 5-year-old self is hidden and we keep him/her locked inside of us but I'm here to tell you to let that inner child out.. let him/her play and let that child help you in making decisions because there's a reason you were the way you were at 5 years old.

My 5-year-old self was special to me because I look back at old photographs and I listen to my family tell me funny stories about what I was like at a young age. I was a very outgoing 5-year-old with lots of ambition and fearlessness.

At 5, I went to Disney for the first time where I performed in front of a crowd of people at my hotel's pool deck and was invited to parade along the streets of Main Street USA in the electrical light parade. Looking back at pictures of my first DisneyWorld experience, I saw a little girl with pure joy in her eyes. I saw this little girl who wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world besides in the happiest place on Earth.

My inner 5-year-old fueled my goals in life which is to work for Disney because Disney makes me feel like my 5-year-old self and who doesn't want to be reminded of those days.

My advice for everyone is to find that inner 5-year-old again. Contact him/her and figure out what made you the happiest as a 5-year-old and get back to that. Get back to that swing set at your Elementary School playground and go back to building sand castles without being afraid of the sand going into your bathing suit. Scream at the top of your lungs, go on a bike ride. Be 5 again and find yourself again.

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.
