4 Things You Should Definitely Do In Disney World

This past week, I had the pleasure of vacationing to Orlando, Florida, and with that always comes a visit to the happiest place on Earth: Disney World. I have been to Disney more than once, and I can definitely say that I discover something new and amazing every time I go. Here is a small list of my favorite things to do that I’ve collected over the years of traveling to Disney World.

1. Pin Trading (All Parks)

Okay, this might sound childish, but hear me out. I have traded pins in Disney since I was 12, and it really adds a fun touch to the trip. There are pin stations in every park and you can purchase either ones you like individually or as a pack. You can choose to put the pins on a lanyard, your shirt, or anywhere else you can imagine. As for me, I put mine on my camera strap and Monsters University hat. Once you get your pins, you can go up to any cast member and ask them to trade with you. They have to say yes, and you are open to pick any of the pins that they present to you. Even though a majority of the pin-trading population is kids, I personally find it to be a nice way to interact with more people in the park and to see all sorts of pins, including vintage and discontinued ones!

2. Be Our Guest (Magic Kingdom)

Disney recently built the Beast’s castle from Beauty and the Beast in the Magic Kingdom. You can make reservations to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner there. Breakfast and lunch are quick service meals (similar to a Panera Bread or Noodles and Company) and you get to sit in the grand ballroom. Dinner is sit-down, and the Beast comes around to do a meet-and-greet with the guests of his castle. The menu is a mix of American and French cuisine, with the dessert menu having the infamous “Grey Stuff” that Lumiere sings about in the song Be Our Guest (trust me, the “Grey Stuff” is delicious and everyone needs to try it). This is one of my favorite places to eat while in the parks!

3. Toy Story Mania! (Hollywood Studios)

This is one of my favorite rides in all of Disney. It is a 4-D, interactive game that includes all of your favorite characters from the movie Toy Story. You play against the person next to you to shoot the most items on the screen. There are five different levels, all with different targets to shoot at. It’s fun and fast-paced with a lot of energy, plus you get to play with a friend! I always recommend going on this ride and FastPassing it so you can beat the line and get straight to the fun.

4. Eat Crepes in France (Epcot)

Crepes are one of my favorite desserts, and nothing beats eating them in my favorite place. There’s a small crepe stand in France’s section of the World Showcase in Epcot. There’s a variety a flavors and you can even add ice cream to it! They’re always delicious and perfect way to relax on a summer day in Disney.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
