Announcing The Second Coming Of MagicBands
Inside The Magic


Ahh yes, Magic Bands. These bands that we all have a love/hate relationship with, bands that hold the key to ALMOST everything on Disney property.
But just in case you've been living under a rock and don't know what these things are, allow me to explain: Magic bands are waterproof bracelets that you can link to your My Disney Experience account that will link your room key, Fast Pass+ reservations, Memory Maker account, and a credit card (if you chose to link one at your resort). Its basically your wallet on your wrist. After you start planning, they give you the option to assign colors to your bands with everyone's name included on them, and they obviously look like the above photo.

Now, if you're a huge Disney fan (which obviously why wouldn't you be), back in November during the D23 event that was held at the Contemporary Resort, Disney announced the second coming of the magic bands, affectionally called MagicBands 2 (seriously Disney, can't you come up with a better name than that?).


Now, there is a difference with these bands. First off, they have that center puck that can actually pop out, so if you don't feel like wearing it on your arm (because you know, it gets all sweaty and icky, plus there's that SUPER cute tan line) you can actually attach it to a carabiner clip (or whatever keychain you have but seeing how Disney gets, a carabiner clip just makes more sense) and yes, you can still customize it at Disney Springs and they still have accessories called MagicKeepers that you can pop onto your little puck for that extra little magic hanging off your clip, in the form of Mickey ears or Minnie ears. On December 16th, Disney released the first batch of new magic bands for the 45th Anniversary of the Magic Kingdom, and since then, they've released new patterns that have the 2017 logo on it and even Dooney and Bourke have released new patterns for their magic bands (and as far as I remember, they've since been sold out).

When it all comes down to it, you'll still be able to use your old magic bands that you've been hording since god knows when, when the new ones are released.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Top 10 Lessons I Learned My Freshman Year

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
