OK, so I may or may not be a millennial, the generation cutoff year is not quite clear. But what is clear is that I'm a childless young adult who just got back from Disney World!

I had the best time ever! I went on the Haunted Mansion twice, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster, Frozen Ever After, and so many other rides. Not only that, I also drank my way through Epcot.

It was so great to be able to do what I want when I wanted to.

Now I understand that there is a different type of "magic" that a family feels when they see Disney World through a child's eye, but trust me, Disney does not lose its magic just because you go without children.

In fact, some elements are more magical when you're an adult, such as interacting with the characters.

When you're with a child, they might get starstruck because they are meeting their idol, and there might not be a lot of talking. Yes, it's adorable, but it also takes some of the fun out of the situation.

When you're an adult meeting the characters, you can ask the most ridiculous questions and see what their responses are.

I asked Snow White which of the seven dwarfs was the messiest. It was a silly question, but it was fun for me and most likely fun for Snow White to think of a clever answer. (By the way, she said they are all pretty messy, but the messiest would have to be Grumpy.)

Don't forget that going without children means sleeping in and staying up late.

While all the families are running to the park for rope drop, you can sleep in and show up to the park when they are all headed back to the resort for nap time.

Then, when there are those late extra magic hours, you don't have to worry about a sleepy child who can't stay awake that late at night. You can stay in the Magic Kingdom until midnight because you only have YOU to worry about.

I know there are so many wonderful reasons to go to Disney with children, but I promise you that going to Disney without children is just as fun.

So, if you're able to, go do it! You won't regret it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
