The Week Prior To Leaving For The Disney College Program As told By Disney Movies.

I swear Disney is in my veins.

The Week Prior To Leaving For The Disney College Program As told By Disney Movies.
WDW Daily News

This week I leave for a vacation in Florida prior to my check in for the Disney College Program, and my emotions are going crazy. These past few days have been full of goodbyes and having to say "see ya real soon" to the people that mean the most to me. The mix of emotions that I am feeling isn't making it any easier to leave my hometown.

1. Anticipation

Like Rapunzel, I can't keep my mind still. Everything still seems so surreal and I'm just anticipating the moment that I check in, go through traditions, get my ears and name tag and can officially say that I am a Disney Cast Member! Leaving a week early and staying in the happiest place on earth will only make this anticipation worse, but seeing festival of fantasy and all of the other shows and parades will cure Disney fever. Now with the news that the Electrical Parade is leaving soon, its nice to be on vacation and know that this isnt my last time seeing this parade!

2. Nerves

Aladdin parting with Genie is exactly like my parting with my family and friends. It's extremely bittersweet, but we all know that this experience is once in a life time and something that I wouldn't change for anything. Seeing all of my family members and friends at my going away party (Thanks Mom and Dad!) was everything I could have asked for this week. Given the chance that I have, there is nothing that I would let get in my way of pursuing my dream of working for the mouse.

4. Excitement


Oh, Anna. How I understand your excitement. I think that easily half of my tears shed over leaving for the program are tears of sheer happiness and joy. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be working in the happiest place on earth and making magic for everyone looking to experience the vacation of a lifetime.

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.
