The Fantasmic and The Frightening

The Scariest Parts Of Disney World

We all know that Disney World is a magical place but we don't typically remember until we get to Disney World that it can be a frightening place as well. When I first arrived in Orlando last weekend with one of my sister's seven bridesmaids for her bachelorette party, the sun was just barely settling on the horizon. I had not yet discovered the first Disney World monster of lack of sleep. Spoiler Alert: on the entire trip I probably averaged five hours of sleep a night and I slept more than any of the other girls on the trip! Also on that first night, the second Disney monster emerged in the form of the overpriced food. You think a $20 meal back home is expensive, until you have talked so much at the Rain Forest Café that you didn't even notice consuming $20 appetizers, $30 entrees, and a $20 lava cake. I am lucky that I am underage, because at the end of the trip the alcohol tabs of the older girls were probably more expensive than the tickets into the Disney parks! Everything at Disney World is about 20% more expensive than it is in the real world. The third Disney monster to attack during the trip was the sun, which can be found in every part of the planet, but some how manages to be 9,000 degrees hotter in Disney World. All eight of us girls in our tank tops and yoga capris, downing gallons of water and staying inside as much a possible, probably sweated enough liquid to turn the Sahara desert into an ocean. Even worse than the sweat, were the crimson burns covering our backs and faces by the end of the trip. Every aloe vera plant in Arizona couldn't provide enough comfort to make those burns any less painful. However, worse than the menacing sun was the fourth Disney monster, the children. Don't get me wrong; children are wonderful when they are laughing, smiling, running around singing songs, until you are trapped with them for two hours in a muggy building waiting for a 3 minute ride. After a while of being trapped in this situation, the booming laughter of children sounds a lot less like cheerful little birds flying around Cinderella's castle and more like the cackling laughter of Ursula the sea sorceress when she curses innocent merfolk. It's enough to drive a girl insane. In the end, though, the scariest part of Disney World is that even with all the monsters, I would do it all again just to have the laughter, bonding, thrill and absolute magic that can only be found in Disney World, where both sweaty nightmares and encouraging dreams come true.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
