Hello, my Disney lovers! I love Disney more than I'll ever love my future children…just kidding…maybe… Anyway, Disney World will always reign superior to Disney Land, and if you're thinking about making a trip to the happiest place on earth, you definitely need to ride these attractions. To save you some time, these are the best six rides at Disney World, that fast passes are a must for, and riding them more than once is necessary!

6. DINOSAUR.

This ride may come off as a surprise to many people and some of you may never have heard of this fabulous ride. DINOSAUR is one of the best, most underrated rides at Disney World! Tucked away in Animal Kingdom's Dinoland, this ride is full of thrills, as you are taken back in time to save a dinosaur from going extinct. Not going to spoil it, but there may or may not be an unexpected drop that makes my day every time I ride it. I love how DINOSAUR is a creative concept by Disney, unlike some of Disney's newer ride systems. Seriously though, if you guys keep sleeping on this ride, I will be very upset. I want Disney to give DINOSAUR the praise it deserves.

5. Spaceship Earth.

Note Spaceship Earth, not Mission Space. This is completely biased, and I've had friends and relatives I've had to disown because they thought this ride was boring. Every Disney fanatic knows that Spaceship Earth is tucked inside the "giant golf ball" in Epcot. This ride travels you back in time and allows you take in some of the world's most historical communication moments. Spaceship Earth always makes me super emotional and I still have no idea why. Keep doing you Spaceship Earth.

4. Kilimanjaro Safaris.

Another severely underrated Disney attraction! Kilimanjaro Safaris, located inside of Animal Kingdom, allows you to see some of the world's most beautiful creatures up close and personal. The tour guides are also entertaining and funny, and the animals are extremely majestic as they're given space to roam in a pseudo-safari. The wait is always short, and it's great to ride in the morning as the animals are very active during this time.

3. Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.

PeopleMover located in Magic Kingdom.Disney

The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, also known simply as the PeopleMover, should be number one on this list, but I know there would be a huge outcry from roller coaster enthusiasts, so I had to lower it. Personally, coming from someone who is not the biggest fan of roller coasters, this is the best ride in Disney World. What does it do you ask? It moves you. I think I like the calmness of the ride, I'm so lame.

2. Haunted Mansion.

For all of my spooky lovers out there, this does not disappoint! The Haunted Mansion has some of the most in theme cast members, and you always notice something new about the ride every time you go on it or while you're waiting in line. The Haunted Mansion always gives me goosebumps, and I could ride it a hundred times and still be completely fascinated by everything.

1. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster located in Hollywood Studios.Disney

Okay, adrenaline lovers, here you go. You win this time. The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is like an extreme version of Space Mountain. In less than three seconds the coaster goes from 0 to 57 mph, and your heart feels like it's going to give out. The coaster is set in the dark, and you're listening to blood pumping music while you're twisted and turned and tossed upside down. For someone who hates roller coasters, this ride has my stamp of approval, but I also promise it's not lame.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.
