The Stages You Go Through When Waiting For A Response From The Disney College Program

The Disney College Program is an elite program among a selected few college students from all over the world. Not everyone who applies gets to live and work at Disney. Both parks, Disney World and Disney Land, are a part of the program that hires college students to work and learn at Disney. Doesn't that sound like a dream? It does to a lot of people and that's why it's so nervewracking going through the application process. If you have already applied or have gone through the college program, you can relate to these stages when you play the waiting game.

The initial stage is excitement. You have gone through the different phases of filling out an application, passing the web-based interview, and the dreadful phone interview. You've prepped, you studied, you tried your hardest and now after you hung up the phone, it's time to play the waiting game. You go over everything you said during your interview and you're pretty sure that you aced it. You can't think of a reason why they won't accept you into the program. The first couple of days you patiently wait and sporadically check if there was an update on your application. There's nothing. No worries, they said it might take a couple of weeks.

A week or two pass by and you are entering into the stages of anxiety. You are frantically checking your emails every second you get. You think that maybe they lost your application or your internet connections is acting up and that's why you haven't gotten anything. That can't be possible. They need to let you know if you were accepted or not! You are starting to second guess everything you said during your phone interview. Maybe you weren't happy enough during the interview. Maybe you didn't say all the correct answers and they didn't want to tell you right then and there that you aren't a fit. All you want to do is hang out with Mickey Mouse but instead, you are starting at your email, ignoring all the mail you are getting from Forever 21 and H&M.

You are sure that you weren't accepting. You have to live with the fact that you aren't fit enough for Disney and some other college students get to live your dream. You mourn over your loss and can't even stand to look at your Mickey Mouse ears. Even hearing the work Disney make you want to cry. It ok. Maybe you'll try again next semester.

You have given up full of hope. You just check your email to see if any professors canceled class and BAM. You see it. You see the email you have been waiting to see for weeks. You're not sure if you should open it or even if you want to open it. You do it anyways and you see "Congratulations!" You are off to live with Mickey and learn from Disney!

Good luck to those who are still waiting on their response! It'll come.

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.
