Erin Locke, you just got accepted to the Disney College Program! What are you gonna do next?

I'm going to Disney World!

No seriously. That's how I'm celebrating. I'm going to Disney World.

And my trip begins in just 10 short days!!

So after writing article after article about my experiences going through the application process of the Disney College Program, I have officially been accepted!

I can't believe I'm going to have a mouse for a boss. Doesn't that sound like so much fun?

I've prayed for this opportunity since January, and I've dreamt of doing this since I was little.

I've even had my Bible study member and leader praying for me. And as it turns out, it's definitely in God's plan for me, which I'm incredibly thankful for.

I feel like I finally understand why God has been closing so many doors this past year. He had been telling me "no" a lot more than I wanted him to, and I think this may be why. If he knows everything, surely he knew that I would be doing the college program way back when I rushed in the fall and didn't get a bid.

Long story short, God knows what he's doing! And I'm so thankful that he does.

I'm going to be working in Quick Service Food & Beverage, and I can't wait! People have asked me how much experience I have in the role that I've been accepted for.

...The answer is none...

I'm much better at baking, but I honestly know close to nothing about food.

But don't be worried if the same thing happens to you! I'm just thrilled to get to be at my favorite place on earth for 5 months straight!

Regardless of my experience working with food, I am so ecstatic.

My arrival date is August 18, 2019, and I'll be there until January 2, 2020!

That leaves me a total of only 19 weeks to finish planning my wedding. That's for about 4 months. I'm not freaking out, you're freaking out.

So as I work toward planning my wedding this summer before I leave, I will be thinking of my Disney adventure coming up!

I'm grateful that God knows his plans long before I figure them out. I'm also thankful that he chose this path for me knowing that it's been my dream since I was tiny. And I know that he has big plans for me to come while I'm there!

Good luck to everyone applying, and congrats to everyone who's been accepted!

Have a magical day! °o°

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
