The 7 People You Definitely Meet At Disney World

You know them, and they know you.

The 7 People You Definitely Meet At Disney World
Emily Tworek

As a college kid going back to Disney World for the first time in years, the primary feeling you get is a mixture of awe, nostalgia, and plain exuberance. But there are those, you begin to notice, who aren’t exactly on the same wavelength as you when it comes to exploring the park. Laugh, be annoyed, or enjoy them, you know them, and they know you.

1. The Family Man

He’s got a kid hanging from his chest, one over his shoulders, and he’s pushing two in front of him in a side-by-side stroller. He’s a human battering ram, and you better get out of his way.

2. The “Too Young to Remember Any Of This” Kid

She’s two, three at best, meeting every single princess and riding everything with Fastpasses, but you ask yourself “Why? She’ll forget it in a few years!” Bonus points for meltdowns at character greetings.

3. The Shopaholic

Armed with a Disney brand credit card, she prowls the cookie-cutter gift stores religiously, seeking every piece of Snow White merchandise for her niece at home. She usually doesn’t ride anything, and has at least one Disney-affiliated Burberry purse.

4. The Tee-Shirt Herd

Yes, we know that this is your Disney Vacation 2016, and that you’re Paw-Paw, but we don’t care. We don’t really care about the names of the other twelve members of your family who came along, either. Think of all the time you spent making those tee shirts that could have been used enjoying your actual vacation!

5. The Superfan

Dressed head-to-toe in Disney gear, they walk into the park like they own it (and they might own a share, considering how much merchandise they have), can sing along to every Disney song, and will effectively go on every ride during the course of the day, which is really quite impressive.

6. The Planner

She’s running with family in tow to get to their 2:15 Fastpass to Splash Mountain followed by a 2:30 meet-and-greet with Ariel, followed by a 2:50 lunch at the Crystal Palace, followed by a 4:30 Fastpass to Buzz Lightyear’s Spaceranger Spin...every moment of every day is mapped out like this. It’s a wonder she doesn’t overheat.

7. The Over-Excited Adults

Most of us fit into this group: practically skipping into the park, meeting every character imaginable, and riding even the most infantile of rides, we love it all, and everything Disney represents. To so many, Disney World means so much, whether it be their own childhood, or the legacy they wish to pass down to their own children, and a visit to the parks truly brings out the kid in them, as well as everyone, who wants to relive the magic.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
