The first step to acceptance is admitting you have an obsession!

30 Signs You're A Disney World Fanatic
Danielle Kaplan

I've always been told that I was a child at heart, and quite honestly, I will probably always be a child at heart. Certain things in life bring me incredible amounts of joy that for other people my age, they'd say it's childish. One of those things has always been Disney. Whether it's the movies, the parks, the stories...the magic of it all has always enthralled me, and when I meet another fellow Disney lover, I find that I can't stop talking to them for hours. If I could have one wish in life, it would be to live in Orlando, so I could be close enough to visit Disney World whenever my heart desired.

It sounds crazy, I know. But sometimes when you have a passion for the magic of Disney as strong as mine, you can't stop thinking about it being in your life every day. If you're as Disney World obsessed as I am, there are just some things you cannot deny:

1. You're constantly planning trips to Disney World, even if it isn't feasible.

2. You follow at least one Disney World-related account on Instagram.

3. You could navigate the four parks with your eyes closed.

4. You have a perfect strategy for every time you visit "The Most Magical Place on Earth."

5. You're constantly on Etsy looking at custom Minnie ears.

6. You follow Walt Disney World news websites constantly, eagerly anticipating the newest attractions and additions. 

7. You've been to every seasonal event, including Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, The Flower and Garden Festival, Food & Wine Festival, and more.

8. You likely have a wait times app on your phone, and check it even when you're not in Disney World.

9. Watching the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom makes you cry every time.

10. You still get excited to meet the characters, no matter how old you are.

11. You dream about taking your kids to Disney World someday.

12. You try to convince your friends to go on trips to Disney with you.

13. Your bedroom is decorated with different mementos and souvenirs you've collected from the parks.

14. You've got a lanyard covered in pins you've traded for.

15. When someone admits they don't like Disney World, you don't know if you can be friends with them anymore.

16. When something changes in the parks, you get super nostalgic about it.

17. You're constantly reminiscing on past trips and memories you've made in Disney. 

18. No matter how many times you've seen Cinderella's Castle, it still makes you gasp every time you step on Main Street U.S.A.

19. You know all of the best snacks to get in the different parks.

20. You know the history of the parks like it's nobody else's business.

21. You're basically an unofficial Disney World tour guide.

22. You know all of the insider secrets and hidden surprises throughout the World.

23. You understand all of the Cast Member lingo and acronyms.

24. You have a Disney-themed playlist on your phone.

25. You can find the coolest Hidden Mickeys throughout all of Disney World.

26. You know the Disney monorail spiel, in both English and Spanish.

27. You can choose to travel anywhere in the world and still choose Disney World.

28. The minute your vacation is over you're already dreaming of your next.

29. You dream to be a Cast Member someday and work for the mouse.

30. You get teary-eyed every time you have to head back to the airport after an incredible trip.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

Does anybody know how to study

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
