10 Things I'm Packing For Disney World

Packing for vacations can be daunting and sometimes a packing list can be extremely helpful!

My family and I will be going on vacation to Animal Kingdom at Disney World this Memorial Day Weekend. I could not be more excited! We reserved tickets, hotel rooms, budgeted for snacks and new sets of Mickey ears, but we found the hardest part of planning to be knowing what to pack. I present to you: a sneak peak at my Disney World Packing List!

Backpack/Draw String Bag

I suggest bringing a backpack or draw string bag over bringing a purse. This way you can fit more items like ponchos, snacks, etc, into one bag. These are also easier to hold during long walks around the parks!

Water Bottle

It can be hot out at these parks! Make sure to remember to hydrate by bringing your own water bottle. This is also important because you'll want to avoid expensive theme park prices for water.

2-3 Comfortable Masks

I think this one might be one of the most important things to bring for a trip to Disney World this year! Masks are required to be worn throughout all of the Disney Parks as a precautionary measure for the COVID-19 pandemic. You'll want to bring a mask that is comfortable enough to be worn for several hours. I also suggest bringing an extra mask just in case you sweat a lot, accidentally bring it with you on a water-based ride, or get food on it.

These Shoes Are Made For Walking

You'll definitely want to bring comfortable shoes to walk in! You will likely walk between 10 and 15 miles during your time at the park and probably want to avoid blisters at all costs! But, if you really want to wear heels in your pictures in front of Cinderella's castle, you could probably fit them into your backpack.

Deodorant 

I know this might seem like an obvious thing to pack, but it is so important! Disney World is located in Central Florida where it is almost always humid and hot. You don't want to start to smell or have pit stains in your Instagram photos!

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is so important in the Sunshine state of Florida. You'll want to avoid a sunburn or tan lines from your face mask as much as possible!

Hand Sanitizer

1. Hand Sanitizer@disneypotter

The Disney Parks will have hand sanitizer regularly available at the parks to help stop the spread of COVID-19. However, you may still want to bring some of your own. If the Disney hand sanitizer smells anything like the ones they give out on campus at FSU...yikes!

What If It Rains?

You won't want to ruin your super cute outfit or have to wear soggy clothes for the rest of the day. This can be solved in two ways.

1. A Poncho or Raincoat

2. An extra pair of clothes

Extra Hair Ties

I always suggest bringing extra hair ties when you go on trips. Keeping your hair up and out of your face can be vital when it comes to rollercoasters, cute hairstyles for pictures, or for running after younger siblings or kids!

Phone Charger

3. You can't find love looking down on your phone. Cell Phone

A phone charger is a very important item to carry around nowadays. Personally, I will be using my phone as a camera for my trip, as well as, a means of communication between myself and my family members. I'd be in some hot water if my phone battery died! If you can relate to this scenario, I suggest bringing a phone charger!

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
