For Our Inner 5 Year Old
http://www.minitime.com/trip-tips/How-to-Make-the-Most-of-Your-Disneyland-Getaway-article

We're all filled with the spirit of our 5-year-old selves and sometimes it shines through when we clap feverishly with excitement or when we have a tantrum (more controlled tantrum) when we don't get our way. Sometimes that 5-year-old self is hidden and we keep him/her locked inside of us but I'm here to tell you to let that inner child out.. let him/her play and let that child help you in making decisions because there's a reason you were the way you were at 5 years old.

My 5-year-old self was special to me because I look back at old photographs and I listen to my family tell me funny stories about what I was like at a young age. I was a very outgoing 5-year-old with lots of ambition and fearlessness.

At 5, I went to Disney for the first time where I performed in front of a crowd of people at my hotel's pool deck and was invited to parade along the streets of Main Street USA in the electrical light parade. Looking back at pictures of my first DisneyWorld experience, I saw a little girl with pure joy in her eyes. I saw this little girl who wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world besides in the happiest place on Earth.

My inner 5-year-old fueled my goals in life which is to work for Disney because Disney makes me feel like my 5-year-old self and who doesn't want to be reminded of those days.

My advice for everyone is to find that inner 5-year-old again. Contact him/her and figure out what made you the happiest as a 5-year-old and get back to that. Get back to that swing set at your Elementary School playground and go back to building sand castles without being afraid of the sand going into your bathing suit. Scream at the top of your lungs, go on a bike ride. Be 5 again and find yourself again.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
