How You Know You've Been To Disneyland Too Many Times
DIS

If you’re like me, you’ve been to Disneyland in California too many times and you’re proud of it. Disneyland is like a second home to you and every year you try and make the trip to Anaheim to visit the happiest place on earth. Here is how you can be certain that you’ve been there too many times.

1. You don’t know how many times you have been.

You have been to Disneyland so many times that when people ask how many times you been you can’t give them an exact number. You usually say something like “a lot” or “too many” but the fact of the matter is you have no idea how many times you have been.

2. You can sing the songs from the rides from memory.

Whether it's Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean or even Space Mountain, you know all the songs. You may even have them on your phone. Pro tip: Playing the Space Mountain music while driving is always fun. Just make sure not to go too fast.

3. You’ve been on every ride.

You’re not ashamed to admit that you have conquered every single ride at the Disneyland Resort. It’s nearly impossible to pick a favorite, but you have at least two or three that you know you have to go on every time you go to the parks.

4. You don’t need a map to navigate.

You’ve memorized the layout of the parks and know where everything is, so there’s no need for you to pick up a map at the main entrance. You usually get at least one to keep as a free souvenir.

5. You know when the lines are shortest.

California Screamin’ is usually shortest int he afternoon, and Splash Mountain is nearly always a walk-on during Fantsmic. If you’re lucky you can get on Splash twice without having to wait as long as you get there before the end of Fantasmic. Every ride has times during the day when the line is at its shortest.

6. You know the best hotels to stay at.

The resort hotels are the best, but they’re also pricey. Luckily there are lots of hotels close to the main gate that are much more affordable. You’ve stayed at quite a few of these, but there are a few that you keep going back to. You consider these to be the best off-property hotels in the area and always recommend them to friends who are planning a trip to Anaheim.

7. You try to spy on any construction going on in the park.

There is almost always construction going on at Disneyland. If you’re lucky, you can find small holes in the barriers they put up through which you can see little pieces of the magic going on. Otherwise, you’re constantly on the lookout for points in the park where you might be able to see some of the behind-the-scenes construction.

8. You call California Adventure DCA and it really confuses people.

Sometimes saying California Adventure just seems like too much work. Disney enthusiasts have abbreviated the full name to DCA (Disney’s California Adventure) to make matters simpler. This has come up in conversations with friends while talking about the parks and always gets a questioning look and a “DCA?”

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
