The 25 Emotional Stages You Go Through When Applying For The Disney College Program

https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/2018/02/28/6365539473919076201658526175_15443265_1165648930155620_6024242451360601296_o.jpg

If you've ever applied for the Disney College Program, you know the rollercoaster of emotions that comes along with the application process. You feel nervous, excited, happy, discouraged, nervous again; it's really a never-ending cycle until it's over. You convince yourself that you won't check your email one hundred times a day and drive yourself crazy, yet there you are, staring at your email and the Disney jobs dashboard while refreshing the pages every couple of minutes. You're not alone, we all go through it.

Here's my take on the Disney College Program application process as told by our favorite Disney characters!

1. Staring at your computer, waiting for the application to drop.

2. When the application finally drops.

3. How you feel before starting the application vs. how long it actually takes to complete it.

4. When you check your dashboard for the first time and see status: Applied.

5. And the next time.

6. And the next 100 times after that...

7. When you get that "Your Next Step: Web-Based Interview" email.

8. Before starting your WBI.

9. During the WBI.

10. When you see "Congratulations" and get to schedule your phone interview... it's really happening!

11. Preparing for your PI.

12. The day of your interview.

13. While you're on the phone with your recruiter.

14. When you hang up and realize that the only thing left is finding out if you made it!

15. Waiting to hear back from your phone interview.

16. And waiting...

17. Slowly starting to lose your mind, but waiting... it still says "Under Review" so that's good, right?

18. Joining the Facebook group with all the other DCP candidates.

19. Reading everyone's posts and realizing you've found the people that truly understand your Disney obsession.

20. Constantly checking the group, stressing and waiting with all your new found, Disney-loving friends.

21. Stalking the recruiters' twitter pages to find out everything you can about the current status of things.

22. When the first wave of offers starts.

23. The Facebook group during the offer wave.

24. When everyone is posting about their offers, but you still haven't gotten anything yet.

25. The moment you check your email and see the subject line: "Disney College Program: Congratulations!"

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
