Time Is Key

The key to success is time!

Time Is Key
Drew Heisey

For the last few weeks I have been adjusting to my busy work schedule at the most magical place on earth, which is Walt Disney World. Time has been flying since I have moved to Orlando and believe it or not, I have been down here for three weeks already. Time has not been on my side this past week. I am working currently forty+ hours and also taking two online classes as well. My free time lately has been spent doing homework, laundry, buying groceries and of course sleeping. Budgeting my time is very difficult, but manageable. I plan on devising a schedule for work, school, and free time.

The perks of working for a big company like The Walt Disney Company is that we get complimentary access to Walt Disney World parks. I want to utilize this as much as I can and the same goes for the cast member discount that they provide for their being employed through the Walt Disney Company. So I plan on going to the parks with my free time and enjoying my time in Orlando in general.

Time is like money , we want to spend as much of it as we can on something that we really enjoy. Even though it may seem like I have a long time down here in Florida, it will be over before you know it. Time is a precious thing and I have been appreciating the little things that I have been encountering lately. The sunsets, the sunrises,and even the guest smiling while they are enjoying the parks is such a special occasion. I love taking in the atmosphere around me and appreciate the smallest thing As well.

Sleep is also a hard thing that I am trying to practice and maintain a healthy sleep schedule. This is the hardest task that I am faced with because my schedule fluctuates depending on where I am working or how late the park is open that night. I love to sleep and need it especially when I am working long hours. It help maintains my energy to perform my role and also keeps my body healthy and in good working order.

I try my best to keep everything within the schedule. Time is a very precious thing and I value it so much, you should too. It may seem overwhelming at times, but it is definitely manageable. You just must be willing to the amount of effort in for you to successfully manage time. Don't sweat it if things don't work out the first few times, you have many tries's to work things in. Just make sure that you put your highest priorities first on your schedule like Family, Work, and School. Your priorities may vary depending on how important you see them as. Use your time wisely and remember to utilize all the resources that can help benefit you

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
