To My Family I Left At Walt Disney World

Because you were more than just a friend

To My Family I Left At Walt Disney World
Nick Nielsen

I hope everyone is doing well wherever you may be. I don’t go a day without thinking about the times I had at Walt Disney World and wouldn’t trade those moments for anything else. I constantly think about the memories that were made and they run through my head every single day. I chuckle at the laughs that were shared and try to tell coworkers, family, and friends here about those stories and they will never understand. I would never have gotten the chance to meet all of you incredible people if I didn’t take the jump and live in Orlando for a few months. I simply wanted you all to know that the memories I made with you are not forgotten, but rather they are remembered. I miss having moments like these.

I will never forget late night Denny’s, or Steak and Shake meals til 4 am, fire alarms going off at 2 am, going to Club Villain, jamming out to some BMend, watching you drip your ice cream sandwich in front of the entire Jungle Book: Alive With Magic line, pin trading like bosses, riding on Dinosaur with you for your first time on it, laughing about the fact that I didn’t know the sound of a rooster being from Iowa, coming back from Clearwater Beach looking like a tomato, eating together at Rainforest Café, crying during Fantasmic, enjoying the music at Jellyrolls, jamming to ‘Work From Home’ because that was the song of my program, going to see Beyoncé and Rihanna, and simply knowing more about you all. I thank you all for making my program one to remember.

Brb, I’m now crying.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

We all have a love hate relationship with winter, lets be real here.

If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
