Dear Sunset Market Ranch

My little strip of Hollywood Studios

Dear Sunset Market Ranch
http://www.wdwlive.com

Since I was little all I wanted to do was work at my favorite place on earth, Disney World. I finally got the chance to make this childhood dream a reality when I was accepted into the Disney College Program. When I found out I would be working at Disney World for four months, I was excited and nervous all at the same time. In August I found out that Sunset Market Ranch would be my home away from home. Turns out, Sunset Market Ranch was the best home I could've asked for.

Out of all the parks, Hollywood Studios is my all time favorite. With rides like Tower of Terror, Areosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster, and Toy Story Midway Mania I'd say they have the best rides out of any of the four parks. I was so excited to learn that I would be at my favorite park, every day. When I first saw the costume I would be wearing, all I could do was laugh at this silly looking sunflower apron. My first time putting it on, I didn't even know how the apron was actually supposed to go on.

Sunset Market Ranch introduced me to the most amazing people I have ever met from all over the world. When you spend so much time with people, they become your family and that is exactly what these people are to me. On days where worked seemed extra difficult, these people made it a little more bearable. I mean these are the people I spent Christmas and New Year with this year. Thank you Sunset for these people in my life.

Working at Sunset gave me this new sense of confidence. I was always talking to new people and really had to be confident in everything I was doing. All my friends have noticed that something has changed since I finished my program. I owe it all to Sunset.

Being back at school just isn't the same after an experience like the one I had at Disney. I miss all the people, the excitement, and surprisingly, the work place. I miss my leader Gustavo walking in and screaming, "HELLO HUMANS AHHH!!" like he was Mike Wazowski on Laugh Floor. I miss everyone screaming, "TIME TO SINNNNGGG!" when their shift was over. I miss all the crazy stories we would tell on break about the guests that day. I miss everything about Sunset Market Ranch. Don't worry, the end of my program definitely was just the beginning of my journey with the Disney Company.

Thank you Sunset for everything, my "Sunset tattoos" and all.

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.
