You Don't Have To Be A Child To Enjoy Disney World

"The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, I feel like a Disney Princess."

I recently went to Disney World with my family for Fall Break, and it was family fun. It stands that no matter how young or old you are there is something in Disney World for you. Even going to Disney World as a 19-year-old I still was star struck at meeting the characters/princesses. My inner child was running free all over the Magic Kingdom. Quite literally my dad, sister Maggie and I skipped down the middle of Main Street on the first day there.

Everyone in my family had something they wanted to do when we came on the trip. My dad wanted to see what the Avatar world was like so we did that in the Animal Kingdom and he was astounded. The recreation of the world was just amazing, the glowing lights and floating chunks of land in the sky.

My mom wanted to ride the slinky dog ride that was in toy story land at MGM. Toy story land purely was like being submerged in Andy's backyard. You feel toy size among all the big pencils and other decorations.

My little sister wanted to ride Splash mountain because the first time she did, she got a bit scared of it. But after splashing along through the briar patch, she was still terrified of the big drop.

I was invited to a tea party by Alice in Epcot. Complemented on my yellow striped shirt by Daisy Duck in MGM studios. And met my favorite mermaid under the sea in the Magic Kingdom. All my little kid dreams came true.

There's plenty to do no matter what age you are. There are kids ride such as Peter Pan, and It's A Small World for younger children and a handful of more rollercoaster types for older people such as Rockin' Roll Roller Coaster or Space Mountain. If you're looking for good food, the Food and Wine Festival that happens is incredible. You walk around all the countries and can sample some authentic food.

The whole four days we were in Disney flew by in a swirl of stomach-turning drops on rides and cinnamon churros. Overall the family fun in Disney is always one for the books.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
