Have you ever considered applying for the Disney College Program? Well, don’t. For those of us who have visited a Disney resort once or twice or fifteen times, there’s no doubt that you probably had the time of your life and that you always wish you could return to that moment when you were watching the Festival of Fantasy parade at the Magic Kingdom, free-falling from the 13th floor of The Hollywood Hotel's Tower of Terror or seeing your favorite safari animals while taking a quick journey to Africa aboard the Kilimanjaro Safari.

For me, I got to live in these moments for six straight months last spring; now, everyday life will never be the same. While you may have wished that your 4-day getaway could’ve lasted forever like I did, here’s 9 reasons why you shouldn’t— or maybe definitely should. Make sure to read until the end; you’re going to want to finish this one.

1. Disney World is the most magical place on Earth.

I mean like really, who wants a 200-foot castle that features a nightly fireworks display in their backyard? What a nuisance.

2. You get the opportunity to take classes from a Fortune 500 company that are geared directly toward your area of study.

Quality education that applies to the real world? It's a no for me.

3. You'll meet guests and fellow cast members from all over the globe.

You even get to experience world cultures first-hand at Epcot's World Showcase. Getting to try the variety of foods and drinks from 11 foreign countries might send you spiralling into culture shock.

4. Cast members are granted access to all Disney parks worldwide for free.

FREE access to all 11 properties of a world leader in the entertainment industry? What's the catch?

5. "Disney" looks incredible on any resume.

Potential employers will be busting down your door with job offers. It's really quite overwhelming.

6. You'll make unique memories that are incomparable to any others you may ever make.

Once in a lifetime opportunities are overrated anyway, right?


7. Those memories you'll be making will probably be accompanied by some of the greatest friends you'll meet in your entire life.

Who actually needs quality friends who travel halfway across the country for a very overdue weekly pizza date?


8. You have the opportunity to contribute to the magic that makes guests' dreams come true on a daily basis.

You may not be able to emotionally handle the extremely rewarding feeling you get from making dreams come true.


9. Nothing will top your experience in the Disney College Program.

Other experiences may come close, but the Disney College program will probably take the cake. You can search far and wide for similar opportunities, but you'll quickly learn that nothing quite compares. You'll always wish you could return to your days as a "CP."

So seriously, do it. Then maybe do it again and again and again. You just might even find your happily ever after.

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.
