A Ranking of All Four Disney World Parks

So, this week, I got to spend two days at Disney World. The first day was at Hollywood Studios, while the second day was at Epcot. As someone who has been to Disney World a bunch of times, I think I'm qualified to rank the parks within Walt Disney World (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom). So, here goes.

1. Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is the best park, hands down. Not only is it classic (it was the first park), it's fun! There's something for everyone -- good treats, a nice mix of fast and not so fast rides, and plenty of great food. Plus, with all the different areas within the park, you'll never get bored, and there's always something new to explore. This trip was the first time I went to Disney World and did not go to Magic Kingdom.

2. Epcot


Epcot is great. It's the second park to open in Disney World and was the last park that Walt Disney helped envision. There's not a ton of rides; however you can go around the World Showcase, and there's a ton of food. You can hop from France to the US to Germany (which I did). Random Tip: the caramel corn at Germany is really good. There are festivals all the time–Food and Wine, Flower and Garden, Festival of the Arts–none of which I've been to, but I've heard on good authority from park employees (AKA my sister and her friends) that it's amazing. Also: Spaceship Earth (the giant golfball) is a great ride.


3. Hollywood Studios


Hollywood Studios is entertaining, but if you've been there once, you probably do not need to go back until there's something new (AKA until Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land -- 2018 and 2019, respectively). There are a few enjoyable rides, and you can meet Pixar characters, so that's fun. While it's fun to see a bit of movie magic, the park itself is a bit too eclectic for me.

4. Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is okay. The Jungle Cruise is cool. I've been there maybe once, and I do not remember much (which should tell you how excited I was). While the park is unique, frankly, I'd rather pay a lot less and go to the zoo. It's more of a go-there-just-to-go-there situation in my opinion.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
