Why Epcot Is The Best Spot

Everyone may think that Magic Kingdom is the place to be, but Epcot truly takes the cake.

Magic Kingdom is literally the worst.


It's great and all, but the amount of people that are constantly there is obscene. You can't breathe, you can't move, you can't think. I swear I lost myself a few times... Granted, the entire park is incredible! I'd want to go on every single ride and meet every single character, but in order to do that, I'd have to go every day for about three weeks straight. I suppose I have a bit of claustrophobia, but, I don't know, that park just isn't for me.

Then we have Epcot. Now, I think this is the most underrated park in Walt Disney World. Especially during the Flower and Garden festival, this park is astonishingly beautiful to walk around in. The manicured lawns, the big ball in the center, and all of the world showcases are absolutely incredible.

There is always something to do when you visit Epcot. Take Test Track - you design a crazy fast car by Chevrolet and then run through a simulation of a new car being tested before it's released to the consumer. Or go ride Mission: Space - a simulator that takes you and four others through a lift off into space on a mission to Mars and makes you feel G forces as you lift off and land. And who could forget the World Showcase, where you can visit multiple countries in one night and experience a bit of each of their cultures! During my trip, we visited Mexico, France, and Canada - places I probably won't have the luxury of going for quite some time. Safe to say there is no lack of things to do at Epcot, but the best part is the smaller amount of foot traffic.

Hollywood Studios really took me by surprise, though. We stepped foot onto the property and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else for the day. The scenery was spot-on, the costumes for each role fit perfectly, and the size of the park was so much easier to manage. I didn't feel overwhelmed by the amount of things I could do, and we leisurely made our way through the park, stopping to purchase the coolest sets of figurines from quite a few Disney movies. We made our way over to the Rockin' Rollercoaster but it was, unfortunately, down so we didn't manage to get on that one. We did, however, experience the Tower of Terror and I honestly think my heart dropped out of my chest. My boyfriend's hand is probably broken in multiple places after I squeezed it harder than I ever have before. All in all, Hollywood Studios gave us memories that we will never forget and pictures that will forever be kept.

I haven't made it to Animal Kingdom just yet, but, as for the other three, I think there's a clear winner.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
