It can't all be magical

"The happiest place on earth," also known as Walt Disney World. Over the years they have patented this illusion that they are the happiest place on earth, but I'm here to call their bluff. No place is the happiest place on earth, Disney included, and here is why.

1. Screaming children, they are everywhere.

2. It's hot and humid, all of the time.

3. Alligators, apparently they eat you.

4. Brazilian tour groups, trust me.

5. Food is overpriced, just because it is shaped like a mouse.

6. It is almost impossible to tackle everything Disney has to offer in just a week-long vacation.

7. Walt's head could possibly be frozen underground somewhere (and that is scary)

8. The icon is a mouse, which is just creepy.

9. College kids hold most of the jobs, including driving the boats and monorails.

10. There are lines. Everywhere, all the time.

11. Staying on property will break the bank, but staying off just isn't fun.

12. There are dead people ashes everywhere. No joke. This is a common thing.

13. There is said to be a ghost that haunts the pirates of the caribbean ride. He was a construction worker.

14. There isn't enough alcohol on premises to deal with all of the crying children.

15. Guests consume close to 2 million pounds of turkey legs each year. I found the obesity problem.

16. Animal Kingdom doesn't sell drinks with straws or lids. Blame the animals.

17. You will lose sunglasses during your trip. Since 1971, around 1.65 million pairs of sunglasses have made its way to the lost and found.

18. You can't buy gum in Disney World. Notice really clean sidewalks.

19. Woody and friends, from Toy Story, no longer fall down when you yell "Andy's coming" and that's not fun.

20. Tickets are insanely expensive. So you are now spending tons of money on food, resorts, and tickets into the parks.

21. There is constant construction. Disney is always building something.

22. It is always crowded. It doesn't matter if you go at Christmas time or in the middle of April, its crowded.

23. Wearing mouse ears around all the time, well it's kind of embarrassing.

24. Souvenirs are expensive. You basically have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it all.

25. It rains. every day. and then you are forced to wear hideous ponchos if you want to not lose out on all the money you spent to get in.

26. It's impossible to walk down mainstreet without accidentally photobombing someone's "cute" picture.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
