An Open Thank You Letter To Walt Disney
Jonathan Tony

Dear Mr. Disney,

I do not think you know how much your hard work truly paid off. So many things have been accomplished since you have been gone. You started an amazing company that truly is magical.

I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for never giving up your dream, no matter how many times you failed. Through all the debt and bankruptcy, your vision never once changed. You still believed that one day, you will make it. You made it possible to believe in anything, to keep being a dreamer. The dreams you dreamt came true. It may have taken a lot for those dreams to become a reality, but they did.

Thank you for making it possible to do the impossible. You never once gave up and I look up to you for that. You did the impossible. You had multiple people tell you that you would fail and that it was a silly dream that will never become a reality. They didn't believe in your dream but that didn't stop you from trying. It is hard to have people you love not believe in your dreams, but you stuck with it no matter what they said. You kept your head high wanting to prove yourself to them. You definitely showed all of those people.

Thank you for making an amazing company that I have learned to grow to love every day. I cannot begin to tell you how much different life would be if Walt Disney Company was never a thing. There wouldn't be much happiness or magic in the world. When I watch a Disney movie, it is full of inspiration and magic that makes me want to dream the wildest dream. Every time I walk into a Disney park, my breath is truly taken away. When people says it's the most magical place on earth, they are NOT lying. It's like no place I have ever been before. You forget about reality and you are the happiest you have ever been. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love that place. You have made these parks feel like home to millions of people. You have made trillions happy. I cannot thank you enough for that. You have made my childhood never ending. You have made it possible to keep trying no matter how many times one may fail.

Thank you for making it possible to achieve our dreams.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
