Just like a Disney movie, college is an exciting journey with many bumps along the way. You make amazing memories and friendships that will last a life time! For me, I get through the craziness of college either singing a Disney song in my head or just wishing I was in Disney World instead of getting hypothermia walking to class. College is a wild ride and so far, I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world! Here are some of my favorite Disney characters to better explain life as a college student.

1. Waking up early for your dreaded 8:15 am or 8:45 am class

Your multiple alarms you had set are going off, yet you refuse to wake up. You finally emerge from your bed, contemplating if it’s even worth going to class today. Once you decide to go, you try your best to look somewhat human and eventually leave with 5 minutes before your class starts.

2. Trying to get through the rest of your day without passing out of exhaustion

3. Meeting your friends for lunch after classes are done

Lunch time, the time to stuff our faces, gain that freshman 15, and rant about wanting summer break to get here quicker. This is the perfect time to connect with people who understand your struggles on a personal level and to pig out on desserts you know you don’t need.

4. Finally going back to your room after a long day

You survived a day of almost endless classes and lectures. Your reward for being a good student and going to class is taking a nice, long nap.

5. It's Friday! Time to celebrate!

Congratulations! You survived a week of tortures classes! Put on your best outfit and go party and dance the night away!

6. Party Part 2 or Cozy Pizza night

If you still have energy from last night’s celebration, get back out there with your besties and party till the clock strikes 12! (Cinderella reference was definitely needed). If you’re not up to another wild night, chill out in your comfiest PJs, maybe some Netflix and a large pizza!

7. Sunday: Back to the book

After a night of dancing or stuffing your face with pizza, it’s time to do your work that you swore you would do before you did anything fun.

College is a crazy and interesting time. If Disney characters can survive their wild lives, then you can handle 4 years of college. But always remember, enjoy college as much as you can because when those 4 years fly by, you’ll become an adult and once you’re grown up, you can never come back! (Thanks, Peter Pan).
