The 10 Stages Of Your Friend Going To The Disney College Program

The Disney College Program is a great opportunity, and when one of your good friends gets accepted, it's overwhelming. After one of my best friends left for Disney, I was both excited and depressed, because although I couldn't wait for her to experience the program, I didn't want her to leave my side.

1. When they first get accepted, you are so happy for them.

It's crazy to believe that one of your best friends will live in Disney World. To think that they get to wake up every day and be surrounded by magic, fun, and excitement. You know that they will have the time of their lives, and you can't wait to see pictures of their adventures.

2. Once they start their Disney countdown, you realize you aren't ready to see them go.

How long is this program again? They don't have to stay for the whole thing, right? Maybe they can just go for a couple of weeks and come back. Better yet, maybe you can just go with them.

3. On the day they leave, you don't know how to feel.

You might cry, or you might not even think about it because it's too hard to accept. Either way, you are happy for them, you just don't know what to do without them.

4. Once they arrive, they post pictures of their new living quarters.

I mean, it's not that great..they just look so adorable in their new dorm, with their new roommates, and new friends.

5. Soon enough, they start sending you Snapchats of them in the parks.

Sure, it doesn't look that fun. You have so many great places to go at home, anyway. But when your friend starts sending you pictures and videos, you can't help but to feel extremely jealous.

6. When you think it's almost time for them to come home, you realize it's only been three weeks:

How long do these college programs need to be anyway? Only a few weeks seems like a lifetime, and now your friend is talking about doing the extension program.

7. Eventually, you might reunite when you visit for break.

It was like they never really left, and you talk constantly about how much your lives had changed. You never stop talking, even while you are riding The Tower of Terror. You never know when you will see them next, so why not spend every second together?

8. After you visit, you don't want to go back home.

No one will notice if you stow away in their dorm, will they? Even though they only have one month left in the program, you can't stand to leave them again.

9. Finally, it is the last day before they arrive back home.

You can't contain your excitement. You know that they will probably want to come home and rest for a couple of days, but you will probably bombard them the second they walk through the door.

10. You are reunited, and you couldn't be happier.

Finally, you can see them whenever you want to! You are so excited to be able to make plans and catch up on all of the great things that have been happening in both of your lives. Although you are excited that they had a great time in Disney, it's great to have them back.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
