1. Applications Dropping

https://gph.is/g/Z8LAxnZ

When the day finally comes you don't let your phone or computer out of your sight. The refresh button is your best friend and when you see that you can finally fill it out, you are on that no one is in the way. Double-checking everything to make sure it is perfect and will stand out.

2. Being Stuck in AR (Application Received)

This area will make you crazy, the longer your here the crazier you get. Never know when something is going to change. All while you are in your Disney College Program Facebook group seeing everyone get, web based interviews and phone interviews.

3. Getting A Web Based Interview

OK, you've made it this far. The fun has just begun, but there is a trick. That one thing that always gets in the way. It is timed, you have between 20 to 50 seconds for each question. So here are some tips. Do it in a quiet area away from distractions. Don't have more than one computer tab open at a time. Lastly, read carefully and answer honestly.

4. Getting A Phone Interview

This really is showtime. The make it or break it moment. You have researched all the possibilities and all the possible questions and tips. It feels like you are studying for a test. You every day closer to your interview the more nervous, when the day comes you will feel every different type of emotion and maybe even nausea, but you got this, just remember to smile.

5. No Longer In Consideration

Everything is going to be OK, it's going to hurt, but don't give up. You're going to be sad and maybe cry but you are not alone. You can try again next year.

6. Accepted

The dream has come true and congratulation. Time to pack your bags, pay your fees and wait to see what location you get. Now to relax and start scouting for potential roommates and have fun.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
