Steps to an Amazing Mini-Vacation
mayum_s

Step 1: Take flight! (I took my first flight from Louisville to Orlando. It was amazing! I hated landing, though. My ears hurt like crazy! Advice from my friend Sarah: Drink lots of water next time.)

Step 2: Eat absurdly expensive meal #1.

Step 3: Walk the Boardwalk and see the side shows. (We got to see a 3 act magic show and 3 act street show. They were absolutely hilarious, and perfect (unplanned) timing for us to see both!)

Step 4: Go to Universal Studios, both parks! (Even if it means Nick left me and I got to hang out with his sister. Diagon Alley is worth it because Step 5. . .)

Step 5: Is to eat and drink all the things! (Finally fulfilled my dreams of eating a pumpkin pasty :D Still didn't care for butterbeer but it's a must anyway :p)

Step 6: Eat more food when done with Universal! (Disney knows where it's at. By it, I mean my money hahaa... Food is worth!)

Step 7: After all that walking at Universal, don't give up yet! Epcot is next on the list. (Epcot is amazing! I hadn't been in ten years and didn't even realize how incredible it is until now. I'd say this was my favorite part for many reasons.)

Step 8: Food and Wine Fest. Means even more food, and wine. (Perfect timing for my 21st in August :))

Step 9: Spend nearly 3 hours in Epcot Japan. (I love anime, I love Japanese stuff, I loved Epcot Japan. I was in a crazy happy place where I wanted to buy all the things. I settled for a few, and souvenirs for my people. But I seriously could've bought all the things!)

Step 10: Eat the most expensive meal yet in Epcot Germany. (This is actually the first time we spent over $100 on a meal for just the two of us! It was a buffet filled with German food. Think meats, mostly. I don't know how much I ate, and even if I did... I wouldn't tell you!)

Step 11: Continue to fall in love with Epcot. (Here is part of Epcot China. But literally everywhere in Epcot is a picturesque scene, and many wonderful surprises.)

Step 12: Stay for the Fireworks!! (They really, really know how to put on a show. Just try not to stand on the side the wind is blowing towards. We got covered with ash and smoke. Whoops!)

Step 13: Fly back home after an amazing mini vacation. Don't forget to drink lots of water beforehand! (I didn't forget, and it made the landing better :) Thanks Sarah!)

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.
