I've Never Been To Disney And That's Okay

disneyparks.disney.go.com

There are plenty of things that I've experienced and enjoyed in life, and they've all been done without going to Disney. Here are some of the things that I've done instead, and some of the things that you can take your kids to instead of Disney.

1. Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH)

Okay, so yes, this is also an amusement park, but it's a whole lot of fun, not to mention, a whole heck of a lot cheaper. This is perfect amusement park for the teenager in your life. I went when I was about twelve and loved it. And if you're not one for rides, there's plenty of shows for you to go to.

2. Shea's Theater (Buffalo, NY)

I can't even begin to count the number of shows I've went to here. They always put on a wonderful show and I've loved every minute that I've been there. This is perfect for any age group, specifically for the musical theater lover in your family.

3. NYC (New York, NY)

There is so much to do and see in New York City, I wasn't able to see it all in the one weekend that I was there. We did however, go to the Today Show(I got on TV), saw the Rockette Christmas Show, and went to Macy's.

4. Phoenix, AZ

Every time that I go to Phoenix, I fall in love with it even more. Just like NYC, there is so much to do in Phoenix.

5. Disney Cruise

I said I've never been to Disney. I never said I hadn't been on a Disney Cruise. This might take the cake. I got to go when I was eight, and let me be the first to tell you, everyone there worked overtime to make sure that all of the guests had a blast. Although, if I were to do the Disney Cruise again, I'd go to Disney World first then do the cruise.

So there you go, some things that aren't as expensive as Disney that will still be great experiences for you and your kids. Experiences that I am grateful that I've gotten to have.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
