Believe It Or Not, Disney World Is Way More Fun As An Adult Than It Was As A Kid

It is the happiest place on Earth.

Disney World is the ultimate theme park. Everyone loves Disney and everyone wants to experience Disney World, at the very least, once in their life.

It's enjoyable for each person in the family. There's a reason why parents get just as excited about this family vacation as their kids. Disney is a classic brand that literally every person has grown up with and holds dearly to their hearts, and Disney World (or Land) is suitable for literally all ages.

Disney World may be every child's dream theme park to visit for vacation, but it's even better when you're older. Eighteen years or older is the prime time to go to Disney World, trust me.

1. You will actually remember this trip compared to when you were a small child visiting Disney World.

False.

There's a new appreciation for this notorious theme park once you visit when you are grown up. The memories are fresh and you will be able to truly look back on this experience.

2. You get to re-live your childhood.

Cue all the Disney movies and shows you grew up watching and playing with the toys. You still remember all the lyrics to the songs from Mulan and basically all the princess movies. And if you forgot a thing or two, you will be getting fond flashbacks at Disney World of your happiest memories.

3. You can truly enjoy all the rides (and wait times).

When visiting Disney World as an adult, you must strategically plan all your fast passes and rides you want to hit. You use the My Disney Experience app to look at all the wait times at each park so when your trip comes, you are fully prepared to skip the longest lines and wait for the rides you sincerely wish to ride. As a child, you weren't tall enough for all the rides and even found some of them "too scary" or "too big". Basically, you stuck to the kid's area and rode Dumbo repeatedly, and even for a ride you really wanted to ride, you weren't willing to wait in that line in the Florida heat doing absolutely nothing. It wasn't worth it to you.

4. All of the food…

Food is more cherished when you are above elementary grade age and that is a fact. You are actually willing to try all the Mickey Mouse shaped foods and desserts now. Epcot is heavenly for a foodie. Epcot wasn't your favorite park as a child, but now your new appreciation of food allows you to spend the whole day tasting foods from around the world. Who needs the other parks?

5. … and drinks!

Giphy

I know friends who have gone to Disney World for their 21st birthday instead of Vegas because of the multitudes of drinks you can try in this one location. Epcot doesn't only allow you to eat around the world, but drink around the world as well! Cheers!

6. Practical (and cute) souvenirs you’ll use and display in your home.

My absolute favorite mug for tea, coffee and even milk is a princess themed one I bought at Disney last summer.

7. Disney World isn’t only for family vacations, but a friend’s trip as well.

Everything is already planned, you spend quality bonding time waiting for rides, then you all get to share a Disney experience with tons of memories. My boyfriend and I clearly recall getting stuck on top of Splash Mountain twice in one ride and now laugh at it. The memories supplied Insta quality pics for the year! You now have the perfect "Happy Birthday" post picture queued up for each member in your friend group.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
