Hey my lovely readers,
I know this year has been crazy and I have not blogged as much as I would like to. Lately, things have been crazier than ever. I was going to write to you guys to let you guys know all about my struggles lately. Then I realized that would probably be ranting, which I do enough of. Just know things have been so low that I thought I would hit rock bottom. I am grateful for God giving me strength. I am just staying positive and hoping things get better.
I started this post a while ago, but didn't finish it. I know what a fail, so I decided since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I will write a post about some things I am grateful for...
I am grateful for being alive and breathing one more day.
I am grateful for my parents, my sister, and my fam[ily].
I am grateful for my boyfriend Cory. <3
I am grateful for my true friends.
I am grateful for my coworkers.
I am grateful for having a job.
I am grateful for being able to pursue my education.
I am grateful for my health.
I am grateful for Disney.
I am grateful for all that I have.
I am grateful for having people who love me.
I am grateful for technology.
I am grateful for everything I have gained and lost.
I am grateful for having God in my life!
Those are only a few things that I am grateful for. I hope you guys are grateful for what you have. I hope that you guys have a wonderful holiday season.
Happy Thanksgiving! Have a magical day!
xoxo.

Just Writing...
Hey there my lovely readers,
I'm pretty sure my readers are non-existent, but maybe one day that will change. I really have been failing at keeping up with this. It makes me so sad. It's ironic that I wrote on the first day of the month and on the last day. This post might be all over the place. I'm just in the writing mood, but don't really know what to write about. I still haven't found something that I can blog about on a daily or weekly basis, but hopefully I find something soon. Hopefully I can still write more often.
Things have been... I don't really know how to explain it. It's a combination of stress, sadness, worrying, and maybe even a little fear.
School wise I've been doing okay. I have an A in my math class. I have an A in my English class, but that might change, but hopefully I keep an A. Biology is not my strong suit, I have a C, but hopefully I improve. In my second biology class that starts soon, I hope to do well. Over all school is going well. I really like my classmates in my math class. I wish I could spend more time on campus and get involved, but not having a car doesn't really make it possible.
Things with my boyfriend have been... I don't know. He says he loves me, but lately he hasn't been showing it. It really hurts me. I feel like I have no one to talk to, that would really understand. I feel like everyone would just tell me to walk away. I don't know if I should follow my heart or my head. I don't want to give up on us because I really love him, but I deserve to be happy don't I? I hope things work out for us. He is a good guy, who has a huge heart. I would say he has trouble expressing his emotions, but when we first started dating which wasn't that long ago, he was so adorable, romantic and showed emotion. How could so much change in so little time. I hope he really does love me and it works out for us.
I feel like I have no time to do everything I want to do. I really need to better manage my time. I also miss home and hope I can visit soon. This year has been crazy and has brought about so many changes and I hope they were all for the better.
I have grown and changed so much this year and I hope I am making the right decisions for my future. The Disney College Program truly changed my life and taught me so much. In less than 80 days I will be 21. It is so surreal. I have been waiting for this birthday my whole life and I really want it to be special. I have no money and that might not happen so that really sucks. It also sucks that I won't have any family or my friends from back home to celebrate with.
I'm in a tough spot in my life and I hope I get through it. I'm going to put it in the hands of God.
I know I have goals and even though they are going to take longer than planned to complete I will work hard to achieve them.
I have to write a research paper for my English class and I have to choose a topic. Maybe I'll let you guys know what I choose soon.
Sorry this post was all over the place from updates to rambling to randomness. Bare with me.
Thanks for reading.
Have a magical night!

M.I.A. What!??
Good evening my lovely readers! :) I am so sorry I have been MIA for so long. I can't believe it has already been over two months since I've written. That is a fail on my part. Life has been pretty crazy the last few months. I know it has been a while since I wrote an actual post. I'm sorry. I really wish I had more time to write. So much has happened in the last few months. I'm hoping now that school is starting I can make some time to write more and have more time to dedicate to my blog. I don't even know where to begin. Every time I watch Julie and Julia, it gives me inspiration to blog. I guess I will try to update you in every part of my life as best as I can.
Home. A few months ago I decided to move to Florida for good. About a month ago I finally got my own apartment for the first time ever. I moved in with my boyfriend which is a huge step for us and hopefully it continues to go well. I love my apartment and I'm excited to start my new life, but we might be moving to a bigger apartment. At the same time it's kind of stressful having to pay rent and bills and having all this debt. Hopefully things go well. It is a huge stepping stone in my life. Things are going pretty good so far and hopefully they stay that way. I guess things can only improve. If anyone is wondering, yes, I miss home some days, but it's time to let myself grow. A new home a new beginning.
Love. As I mentioned in my last post I have a boyfriend named Cory, whom I now live with. Another new beginning. It is crazy that we took such a huge step and so fast, but so far it has worked out, so hopefully it continues to do so. He's my first relationship in a while, so we'll see where it goes. He is definitely one of a kind. He may be weird and even frustrating at times, but he makes me happy. I can honestly say he has my heart in a way no one ever has before. I hope we make it far. He actually also works with me in the parking lot which is how we met. You would think we would spend tons of time together since we work and live together, but it actually feels like we don't spend enough time. The way I feel about him is definitely different than anything I've ever felt before. Now that I am getting older and it feels like the choices I make will have a bigger impact on my life. He seems to be a good choice and let's hope I'm right. ;)
Education. As we all know that's my number one priority. Always has and always will be. This is also new beginning. Like I said I decided to move to Florida which means I had to transfer to a school down here. Transferring again kind of sucks in a way, but it gives me a fresh start in a way. I recently just started at Valencia College and plan on graduating from UCF the University of Central Florida. I am still majoring in journalism and hopefully minoring in history. This is a huge deal because I really imagined myself graduating from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and it was a huge decision to give that up. I will miss it so much, but I believe Florida has bigger, better things for my future. I have met a few new people at school so I'm glad for that. I am taking two fully online classes which are not self paced, so it shall be interesting. I will keep you guys updated throughout the school year.
Work. I still work at the Hollywood Studios Parking Lot. The only difference is that instead of being a CP, I am now seasonal. Obviously it has it's pros and cons. The pros are that I have more flexible hours and I got a twenty-four cent raise. The cons are that I don't get scheduled as many hours. I actually didn't get scheduled for like three or four weeks and had to rely on picking up shifts and taking people's shifts. I finally got scheduled next week, only three days, but it's a start so I'm happy. I enjoy my job and the people I work with, but sometimes the heat is crazy. The weather in Florida is not Wisconsin weather. As I mentioned earlier I work with Cory so that's a plus. :) Recently, there is tons of new cast members at the parking lot, which is both good and bad. Good because we need the people, bad because it means less hours. Also, our summer hours are coming to a close so we'll be closing earlier which again both a positive and a negative. I'm excited for earlier closes though.
Family. I sure do miss them. Especially my sister. I talk to them once in a while. I talk to my sister on a daily basis though. I hope I get to see her soon. Well nothing much new with family, just hoped we talked more often and hope to see them soon.
Friends. I try to keep in touch with everyone, but sometimes that is very hard so it sucks. I talk to a few often and I hope I don't lose touch. To my Wisconsin friends I am hoping to see them soon. To my Florida friends I need to make more time to spend with them. I have made great friends so for that I am grateful.
Well I could probably write about more, but that is basically the most important aspects of my life. I really do hope I can write more. I know it is up to me, but sometimes I just don't have the energy. I know that sounds awful especially because I love to write and really want to become a good blogger, but work is very exhausting at times. I will not go M.I.A. for so long anymore. I wonder if anyone actually reads this or cares. Maybe one day, I will have readers who actually follow my blog. That would be a dream come true. I will write soon. Maybe I can take that inspiration from Julie and Julia and find a topic to write about and make it a daily or at least weekly thing. If anyone actually reads this and had any ideas let me know. I know I keep saying that I will stay on top of this, but I will try the hardest I have ever tried this time. If anyone reads my blog, thank you. Make sure you tell your friends about it and have them read it and maybe I can gain some readers. Thank you. I can't believe my program ended and I still work at Disney. I would have never thought I would decided to move to Florida. More to come soon. Promise. One of my favorite movies A Walk to Remember is on as I write this. Random fact. I'll attach a picture of me and Cory. Write soon.
Have a magical day!

A little bit of everything.
Hey there my lovely readers,
I'm sorry I haven't updated you guys in a while. I have been extremely busy. First, I wanted to tell you guys about what I couldn't tell you guys about before. I went home to surprise my sister and my parents for her birthday, my dad's birthday and mother's day. It was an amazing mini vacation and I intend to write a post about everything I did while I was home. I am so excited to write it, but I want to have time to write it since it might be a little lengthy, but I hope you guys enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoyed it.
Anyways, back to that later. Quick update. It's been two weeks since I last wrote and I apologize. I wish I could write every day. Maybe once I am done with my class I'll get to write more. It is so sad things are going to start getting kind of crazy around here. First, all of my fellow cps are all leaving and it makes me so sad. Zach and Jasmine already had their last official day in their parking lot and even though they will pick up shifts it won't be the same. John leaves this upcoming week, Wednesday is his last day. Then next week Nicole leaves. The week after that the rest of them leave. I know I am going to cry and it makes me so sad. I will miss them. They are like my little family and things won't be the same. Regardless, they will have a special place in my heart always. Hopefully I make new friends with the fall advantage people. Also, though I am not leaving yet, it is quickly approaching in 81 days it will be my time to go. It's not that I am counting because I don't want it to end. There is still so much that I want to do and I am going to miss everyone so much. Specially my roommates and Joel of course, but my parking family as well. I haven't told you guys that starting tomorrow I am getting a new roommate any day now. Hopefully she is nice and we get along well. So my loves are leaving and new people are coming in, in the midst of Star Wars Weekends which will be a crazy time for us at Studios. I am a little nervous, but hopefully all will go well. I am happy that even though I got scheduled 14 and half hours on Saturday the second weekend isn't so bad even though I don't know what I will work on Sunday. I will definitely let you guys know how Star Wars Weekends go. There are four of them starting this upcoming weekend.
When it comes to school work, my Sociology class ends on Saturday and I am still quite behind so I have to work extremely hard this week. Wish me luck. On another note, on Tuesday I start my Disney class and I am pretty excited. I think it will be a unique experience. Hopefully after I'm done with Sociology I won't be so stressed out.
There are so many things I wanna do in the almost three months I have left. I mean I am happy to get to go home, but leaving here will be very hard. I can honestly say Disney changed my life. My post Disney depression will be brutal and I will cry and shed so many tears, but it is not that time yet so let's focus on enjoying the next few months.
This post was supposed to be a quick update, but I miss writing so much I kind of got carried away. I do have to get ready for work in a few minutes though so I do have to wrap it up for now. My next post will hopefully be about my mini vacation.
Random note. They just came to clean my apartment and it was surprisingly nice though awkward at first.
I wanted to leave you guys with a random note. I don't know if any of you have watched the movie or read the book Julie and Julia, but I just finished watching it and it kind of gave me an inspiration that might just become a goal. I want to blog to you guys about something so passionately and make sure I do it everyday. I have yet to decide what that will be, but I think once all this craziness is over, I will begin. I think I want to use her idea of making it a year and of course blogging about it, but definitely not about cooking because one that would not be original, second that's not really my thing and third I wouldn't really have the time to do that. I'll keep you guys updated on this.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. Much love and appreciation for you guys. :)

Cosmo dreams.
Hey there my lovely readers,
I know I don't update this as often as I would like, but I promise I think about this blog daily. Maybe one day I'll reach thousands of views. I still don't know if anyone actually reads my blog, but maybe one day people will. I came to the realization that if a stranger were to read my blog they wouldn't know much about me. They would know my name is Emily and that I work at Disney and that is probably the two biggest facts they'd get about me from this blog aside from the little information from my first post. I am a very unique kind of girl some might just call me weird, but it makes no difference to me. I guess I could write all about me, but I won't do that today. This post is going to be about one of my dreams. I just watched a movie called "Beauty and the Briefcase" with Hilary Duff and I related to it so much so it inspired me to write this post. It's about a journalist who wants to work for Cosmo magazine and trying to find love of course. I definitely recommend it. The reason I relate to it is because obviously my passion is writing and I am an aspiring journalist and dream of one day working for Cosmopolitan magazine. Ever since I was a little girl I loved to write and I knew early on that I wanted to be a journalist. Now that I am in college I still feel the same way. Most people change their majors countless times and I guess in a way I am no different because originally I wanted to double major in journalism and English, but I changed my mind. One thing that hasn't changed is the fact that I want to be a journalist. I know it's not a luxurious field to go into, but it's what I'm passionate about and I hope to become a great journalist one day. For a long time, I thought that my dream job would be to be the editor of my own magazine and I must admit that would be pretty amazing. I should probably never stop trying to get there, but now that I am getting older and getting closer to becoming a journalist I have realized that my dream job and what would make me happy and feel accomplished would be to work at Cosmopolitan magazine. It would be such an honor to work there. It is one of the most known magazines in the world and it's definitely my favorite magazine. I have a print and digital subscription. I read it every month and I think it is such a great magazine. I think most journalists at some point in their life have this dream, but for me it is a goal that I want to reach and accomplish. I am planning on getting my masters in journalism and I would love to attend Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for my masters because it is a great school and it is in New York where I can get a real taste of journalism. Living in New York is something I would love to do and I hope I get the opportunity to doing so. Working for Cosmo is definitely my most important long term goal. Can you imagine me going from this small personal blog to becoming a writer for Cosmo. I believe dreams do come true and I will work hard to achieve this goal. I just wanted to tell you guys about my dream of working for Cosmo. Well I'm off to read some Cosmo before getting ready for work. I'll write soon.
Have a magical day!

I should probably never stop trying to get there, but now that I am getting older and getting closer to becoming a journalist I have realized that my dream job and what would make me happy and feel accomplished would be to work at Cosmopolitan magazine. It would be such an honor to work there. It is one of the most known magazines in the world and it's definitely my favorite magazine. I have a print and digital subscription. I read it every month and I think it is such a great magazine. I think most journalists at some point in their life have this dream, but for me it is a goal that I want to reach and accomplish. I am planning on getting my masters in journalism and I would love to attend Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for my masters because it is a great school and it is in New York where I can get a real taste of journalism. Living in New York is something I would love to do and I hope I get the opportunity to doing so. Working for Cosmo is definitely my most important long term goal. Can you imagine me going from this small personal blog to becoming a writer for Cosmo. I believe dreams do come true and I will work hard to achieve this goal. I just wanted to tell you guys about my dream of working for Cosmo. Well I'm off to read some Cosmo before getting ready for work. I'll write soon.
Have a magical day!

Sad News, Magical Days, and Updates!
Hey my lovely readers,
I hope you guys are doing great. I don't update this as often as I would like, but eleven days is better than like once a month, so it is definitely an improvement and hopefully will continue to improve. I don't know where to begin. I guess I'll get the sad news out the way first. Unfortunately, I was not selected to interview to be a Campus Representative. I admit I am kind of sad and was bummed to get that email, but I am a firm believer of things happen for a reason so I guess it just wasn't right. I feel like I am qualified and I worked hard on the application. Maybe they just have enough reps at Oshkosh right now, we'll see. Well that's enough with sad news.
In other news, in my last post I talked about my new friend and how we were going to hang out. We still have yet to do something outside of work, but I'm sure it will happen one of these days. We just met and it feels like we're already drifting, but it's okay we are still quote on quote friends.
Since I last wrote I got to talk to my grandparents and I had not done that in a while. It was nice to hear from them. I have also talked to my parents more often so that's nice as well. I miss them and Loly (my sister) so much. I can't wait to see them.
Well as you guys know the last time I wrote was the last day of peak season so thank God things have slowed down at work. From April 7th to April 27th that is the last day I know of my schedule so far I have worked and will work all night shifts. Which in reality I don't really mind. Especially because lately it has started to get warmer and I cannot imagine working in that heat. This heat made me realize this summer is going to be difficult to get through. I need to prepare for it starting like now. On Monday it was 90 degrees and we're in April. It was surprising, I am definitely not use to this kind of weather especially the humidity. I have to be strong because I will make it through my program. On a positive note it was supposed to rain like almost all last week and it only rained once. Monday was a great day and I will get there in just a second, but this relates to the weather. I really need to stop thinking that I don't burn because I didn't put on sunscreen and well lets just say that was a mistake. I do burn and my face, shoulders, and chest are proof that I need to start wearing sunscreen more often.
On another note, I have been going crazy because I have been craving Mexican and Puerto Rican food. I can't believe I have been here over three months and haven't had Hispanic food since I left. I cannot wait to go home and be able to eat some or hopefully find good places here. I've also wanted to go out to eat, but that probably won't happen for a while. Oh well. Lets see. Random news. From April 7th through the 13th nothing exciting happened that I can remember. Except like three things. I was off on the 8th, but I stayed home all day. At night I hung out with the roomies for a little bit for the first time in a while. I also found out that my ex is married. Once again things happen for a reason. Also, I don't remember what day it was, but Joel bought me pizza and had it delivered to my house it was so adorable. :) Last Friday, he picked up a shift in parking and after we went to McDonald's and got to hang out for a bit before I worked and he took me to work so that was nice. He is such a good friend. I don't know what I would do without him. I'm so glad we're friends. A random fact is we got four new full time transfers and are getting more part time new people, so we're going to have new faces in the parking lot. Well that's basically all my updates from April 7th through April 13th. Now the last three days have had quite some magic and they have been great. I will give you guys an overview of the last three eventful days.
Sunday April 14th. I finally got to hang out with my cp friends/co-workers Zach, Nicole, Leara, and Annie. We went to Hollywood Studios before work and it was so fun. We rode Tower of Terror twice. I have never rode a ride twice especially one I am afraid of, but it was awesome. We rode the Great Movie Ride which I love. We also rode Star Tours. They rode Rockin' Roller Coaster, but I wasn't ready for that yet haha. We walked around. I got some nachos. Before we left I bought my friend Cory and myself some food. Then it was work time. It was a six hour shift, but it was a crazy shift. First, it was the only day it rained all week, like I mentioned before. Then, my friend Leara and I were on a Tram and it went 101 so we had to shut it down. That was the first time I was on a tram that broke down. The reason our tram broke down was because it was low on oil because it was leaking so then the tram lane was full of oil and our tram lane was technically 101 and we had to drive by the planters instead of on the regular tram lane to make sure our guests were safe. Towards the end of my shift, they had said it was not going to rain anymore and then it starts pouring. I was like what is this. It was crazy rain. Lucky for me, I was only out there for a few minutes. Well I had so much fun in the park and work was actually kind of fun with all the craziness. It ended up being a good day.
Monday April 15th. I spent my entire day with Joel and it was just amazing and magical. Yes, I always have fun when I'm with him, but this day was just omgee. It was truly excellent. First, we went to epcot which I love so much. It is my favorite park so I'm always happy when I go there. We walked around and then went through the World Showcase and I did some shopping. I bought candy from around the world instead of drinks haha. We got to ride Soarin' which is my favorite attraction at Disney World and it made me so happy! :D It was his first time and I'm glad we got to ride it. After epcot, we went to the Boardwalk which I have been dying to go to. I was so excited. The Boardwalk is like the cutest place ever. It has my new favorite store even though I don't remember what it's called ha. Literally, it's so adorable and like so romantic and it would be the perfect place for a date. That's definitely something to add to my life bucket list have a date at the Boardwalk haha. It even has a little like beach area with sand, even though you can't swim there it's still cute. Also, I decided I want to stay at the Yacht and Beach Club one day, it's precious. After the boardwalk we went to the magical Taco Bell haha, just kidding, but we went to go eat at Taco Bell and there I found out I looked like a tomato and he didn't tell me haha. It was fun. Then we went to spend the rest of our day at the most magical place on earth Magic Kingdom, not to say that I don't find all of Disney property magical because obviously I do. Magic Kingdom was so fun. We walked around. We went into the Emporium and I found my dad the perfect gift even though I kinda want it for myself. ;) We rode Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and Peter Pan's Flight. He made my day because he told me he wanted me to watch the Electrical Parade and Wishes because I never have seen Wishes. I know, I know. I will soon. I told him though I didn't want him stuck in that traffic, so that we could do it another day. On the way out the park we found the perfect spot to watch the parade from and we actually watched it and I love that parade. Then we took the ferryboat to the Ticket and Transportation Center and I like riding that boat. As you can tell, it was a very eventful day and I had so much fun and I was so happy. I honestly, could not ask for a more perfect day.
Tuesday April 16th. Yesterday was so fun. It was my first Tuesday off ever. All four of us were off and that never happens so it was awesome. We took advantage of that and we went to a roomie lunch plus Evan at Panera. It was so good. Then we came home and just relaxed and Theresa went to class. Later on, Joel took me to Walmart and I finally got to go grocery shopping yay! I am so excited to have food ha. We had planned last night for a while now. We had a Wreck It Ralph movie night. It was all the roomies, Joel, Evan, and then we invited Marissa we also had unexpected guests for a few minutes. Theresa's friends. We ate chinese food from a place called Citrus Garden and it was good. I don't usually eat Chinese food so it was a nice change. Me and Theresa made Oreo balls, which I'm craving at the moment so I hope there are still some left. We watched Wreck it Ralph and it was the cutest most adorable movie ever. I cried a little. It was such a fun night and with perfect company. I feel so blessed for having them in my life. Well that was basically it.
Today it's back to work for me. It was nice having two days off in a row it had been a while. Next week I'm back to having Monday and Thursday and I'm okay with that. I really need to focus and do school work. I really wanna get an A in the class. I work six hours today so hopefully it's not bad and it goes by fast. I work every day until Monday and probably won't do much before work except hopefully homework and maybe update this. Saturday I might go to Blizzard Beach, but we'll see. I guess that's all I have for now. Sorry if this post is really long. Wonder if anyone will actually read it in it's entirety or at all. If you read my blog, as always don't be afraid to comment or contact me. Tell me what you think, or what I should write about. I love constructive criticism or just comments. Love you guys, whoever you may be. <3 Thanks for reading. I will talk to you guys soon. I'll try to post some pictures.
Have a magical day!

In Need of Disney
Hello to my lovely readers,
I thought I would write this quick post because I'm in the mood for writing. As you guys know I have been working a lot lately and barely have had time for anything else. Working so much has made me want to go have some fun. I want to go to the parks and just have fun. I want to go to all the parks again and go to the Boardwalk which hopefully I will get to go to soon. I want to go to Downtown Disney because it has been a while. I also want to go to Universal. I need more days off. I want to do so much, but actually have to find time and go do them. I also have to find time to do school work, because the semester is coming to a close and I really want to pass this class. Well I just wanted to tell you guys I am in need of Disney adventures and hopefully I get them soon. I finally have two days off next week so hopefully I'll do something fun. Well I love you guys, though I have no idea who reads my blog or if anyone does. For anyone who does go check my roomies blog http://workingforthemousetbh.blogspot.com/ she has tons of adventures as well. I can't wait in the next few weeks something exciting will happen, but I can't tell you guys yet, until it happens then I will tell you guys all about it. I am so excited though that's all I could tell you guys for now. I'll write soon. Please do tell me if you're reading my blog leave comments. Tell me if there's anything you want me to write about. Have a magical day!

Just a little rant and an update.
Hey my dear lovely readers,
I am sorry if I sound whiny at all in this post. It's almost one am and I just need to write and get some things out. It is extremely difficult keeping up with a blog when you work at Disney especially during peak season. I don't know how people do it. I am glad peak season is soon coming to an end because it is stressful. Though it won't be for long with Star Wars Weekends quickly approaching. So much has happened and yet nothing at all lately. I worked 15 days straight and it was supposed to be 17, but i overslept today and felt awful and got an unexpected visit from an unwanted visitor so I called in sick and it made me feel worse because it made feel depressed. I really didn't want to call in or to get another point. :( I know I'm going to regret it, but it's too late now. So lately I feel like I have been in a sort of routine. All I do is sleep, eat and work. I have had all night shifts with the exception of two entire day shifts and a morning shift. I'm not complaining just stating facts. Disney is a very magical place, but truth be told there are days that it is not so magical. I do like my job and I love the people I work with, but I don't know some days are stressful. I feel stressed out because there is so much I have to do and want to do, but it feels like I don't have enough time. I like never want to go to work, but once I get there I don't mind. Anyways I'm really bummed about not going to work today because I really want to be a campus representative and I want to have a good record card and now I have three points. :'( Hopefully I still get it because I really want it. It's been roughly two weeks since I last wrote because these past two weeks have been spring break which is peak season here at Disney. Not much has gone on aside from eating, sleeping, and working. Just a few things. I finally got to meet someone I have wanted to meet for a long time. It was a blessing and it made me realize good things do come with patience. I think us meeting was the start of a great friendship so lets see where we end up. Also, I have to file a law suit for my car accident so that's something else I have to worry about which sucks. I registered for a summer class here at Disney which is going to suck, but I'm excited. I am also registered for my fall classes at UW Oshkosh so hopefully I don't lose my acceptance. I really need to step up my game with my school work and hopefully I pass my class. I think starting tomorrow or should I say today things should go back to normal at work for a while I hope. I work all night shifts and finally have one day off this week and two next week. It sucks my awesome paycheck won't be so awesome anymore since I didn't work today. I'm supposed to go to Sea World tomorrow, but I don't know if I will be able to. :( Hopefully I still hang out with my new friend. On the bright side of things I finally got to hang out with Joel after what seemed like a long while. He gave me an easter basket and a bunny it made my day. Then we went to epcot and I finally got to see Illuminations that I was dying to see because I love it so much. I had so much fun and I was happy to get to spend time with him finally, I missed spending time with him. I love all my friends a whole bunch, but I am so glad I met him. He's one of the most amazing people I have ever met. He's an wonderful friend who seems to genuinely care about me and my well being and always makes me smile and he's so sweet. I'm sure gonna miss him when I leave. Every time I think about it, it makes me want to cry. I don't have to think about that right now. I know we'll be friends no matter the distance. I wonder what he would say about what I just wrote if he ever read my blog. Well he's just the best friend a girl could ever ask for. We are friends and nothing more, but he makes me feel special and no one has done that in such a long time. Him, my roommates and my sister are the reason I am making it through all these stressful times. I miss home a whole bunch specially my sister. Can't wait to see her. I got to talk to my mom and dad today or technically yesterday and it was so nice. Well I guess that's basically it. I'll stop here for now and will update you guys soon. To anyone who reads my blog thank you. I really do appreciate it, it makes me feel loved and like I might one day make it as a writer though I write so informal here and I know I have a lot of improving to do. I'd love to know if you read it and what you think. Don't be afraid to comment or reach out to me. Good night. Love you guys. <3
Have a magical night everyone!

He's one of the most amazing people I have ever met. He's an wonderful friend who seems to genuinely care about me and my well being and always makes me smile and he's so sweet. I'm sure gonna miss him when I leave. Every time I think about it, it makes me want to cry. I don't have to think about that right now. I know we'll be friends no matter the distance. I wonder what he would say about what I just wrote if he ever read my blog. Well he's just the best friend a girl could ever ask for. We are friends and nothing more, but he makes me feel special and no one has done that in such a long time. Him, my roommates and my sister are the reason I am making it through all these stressful times. I miss home a whole bunch specially my sister. Can't wait to see her. I got to talk to my mom and dad today or technically yesterday and it was so nice. Well I guess that's basically it. I'll stop here for now and will update you guys soon. To anyone who reads my blog thank you. I really do appreciate it, it makes me feel loved and like I might one day make it as a writer though I write so informal here and I know I have a lot of improving to do. I'd love to know if you read it and what you think. Don't be afraid to comment or reach out to me. Good night. Love you guys. <3
Have a magical night everyone!

Animal Kingdom aka The Best Day Yet and other news!
Hey lovely readers.
I don't even know if anyone reads this and like I said I write it more for myself, but if anyone does; I am sorry that I don't update this as much as I would like. In this post I decided to write about my awesome day on Monday. It was definitely the most magical day I have had since I got to Florida. It was my first day off after working six days straight so that was nice. The morning was nice. I finally got to relax. During the mid morning I even had an actual conversation with my roommate. Then my friend Joel invited me to go to Animal Kingdom. I got ready and was so excited because I had not gone to Animal Kingdom as a cast member yet. So we went and I had so much fun. We saw the Festival of the Lion King and it was my first time seeing it. It was awesome! Then I even got to try a Mickey pretzel which was so good. Then we got to meet Dug and Russell. It was magical. Dug kissed me and it made my day. After meeting Dug and Russell we went to go meet Pooh, Eeyore, and my love Tigger. Tigger kissed me as well and it basically made my life. It was literally the most amazing moment of my life. Well at least it felt like it. After that we walked around and then went to go see Finding Nemo The Musical which was really good as well. By the time it was over it was basically seven and the park closed at seven so we left. Then after we went to the Premium Outlets which I think are so awesome. It was fun. After the outlets we watched The Dark Knight. It was my first time. I know I'm late, don't judge me. It is such a good movie. Well I had such a good day and had amazing company the entire day basically. My friend Joel is pretty awesome and so fun to hang out with. Well that's a quick overview of my amazing Monday. I will attach pictures at the end of the post. :)
Now to other news. First, I am accepted to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh for fall 2013 and I am so excited! YAY! :D I love Florida and Disney and my friends here and I am going to miss them so much, but at the same time I love UWO so I am excited to get to go back. Also, yesterday was my last day off for the next ten days or possibly longer who knows. It shall be a very interesting week. I will try to update you guys during this week, if I don't I will whenever I get a day off again. I was talking to my roommate the other day and it made me start thinking that when my program ends in August I am going to cry so much the day I leave. I am probably going to run out of tears. I'm going to miss it here and all of my friends, but especially Theresa, Jordan and Joel. I'm going to ball so much. I'm going to try not to think about that now though I still have over four months to enjoy with them so I'm happy about that. I am hoping I have the energy and strength to make it through the next week and a half. Disney is a wonderful place, but in all reality it isn't always magical. The crazy thing is that even when it's not you still can't help but love it. I have only been here two months and I already feel like I can write a book about what I've gone through. By the end of the program I just might. ;) I have to get ready for work soon, so I guess I'll stop writing for now. I will write soon. I appreciate any readers I get and would love to know who you are. Leave comments. Have a magical day! Here are some pictures.

A sneak peak into my role and updates
Hey there lovely readers,
I know it's been a while since I have written anything. I all of a sudden I got extremely busy. I am not sure if anyone actually read this so I write this more for me because I love to write. Anyways I thought I would make this post about a little about my role and updates of what has been going on here in the last two months. Can you believe it's been two months already?? Hope you enjoy reading it.
Okay, so I am not sure if I mentioned this before, but I am a parking attendant at Disney's Hollywood Studios. To be honest when I arrived and finally was given my official role I was not ecstatic. I mean I was so happy to be here and knew I would make the most of it, but it was definitely not my first choice. For five days I was just so nervous of what was to come. Sunday of the week I checked in I began training. I had a really awesome trainer Tyler. It made me more comfortable to have a trainer who is near my age. He was a really good trainer so that definitely helped ease the nerves. By the third day of training I was actually starting to like the job and was even glad I got put there, but I was also very tired. On the fourth day I had my assessment by George. He was great and made me feel comfortable and helped ease my nerves. Now two months later I can tell you guys that I really do enjoy my job. What is my job you are probably thinking. Well we have roughly about eight positions within parking. They are auto 9, auto 7, auto 6, fielder, tram loader, audience control, tram driver and tram spieler. There are other temporary positions, but those aren't taught to you during training so we won't talk about those. Auto 9 is always at the stage parking lot the parking lot closest to the park after the medical lot and they direct people to the medical lot, AAA diamond parking, buses to the charter lot, and guest drop off and pick up as well as taxis. In all honesty this is my least favorite position. Auto 7 directs traffic to whatever parking lot we are parking. Auto 6 is the point position who directs traffic down whatever row we are parking. A fielder directs the cars where to park. Tram loader does what the name implies help guest board the tram and make sure they are following our safety guidelines. Audience control basically makes sure people don't cross active roadways to try to board the tram. This position can be quite overwhelming at times. Then there's the tram. I love being on a tram most of the time. Either you're driving the tram which has it's ups and downs. The positive is, that is the only position that lets you sit down, but gives you basically no guest interaction. The spieler on the back of the tram lets the guest know our safety guidelines and important park information. So there you have it an overview of the roles within Hollywood Studios parking. As I said before I do enjoy my job, sometimes it's overwhelming and tiring and you just want to quit, but it's also very rewarding. Yes magic can even occur outside the park, but it's not always so magical in all truthfulness. The thing that makes it all worth it is the people I work with. My co-workers and the friends i've made make it magical every day even on a bad day. We are like a little family. I know I have made friends for a lifetime. If you have any questions about my role just comment and I will answer them.
Now to a quick update on the last two months. I feel like I can write a book about my experiences here && it's only been two months and I haven't even done much yet. This will be a short version and I will definitely write a more descriptive update later. Well January it went by very fast you can say. I mean days here feel like weeks, but in a good way. I flew down, moved in, had traditions, orientation, training, assessment, then worked for the rest of the month. I did go to Magic Kingdom with my roommates the first week and to Downtown Disney. I met this guy that goes to UW Milwaukee and is here on an extension of his program. I have met tons of people from all over it's like a dream come true. February definitely flew by. I continued to work tons. I have gotten really close to my friend Joel. He's pretty amazing and I'm glad we're friends. Thanks to him, I got to see the real Orlando. We went to Epcot once and it was so fun and I didn't even ride Soarin', my favorite attraction at Disney by the way. If i'm not working, I'm with my amazing roommates which I will talk about next, with Joel or home. I haven't done too much, but i'm trying to change that, but I'm always tired. I did go to Hollywood Studios by myself once and saw Disney Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun parade ( which I heard they're taking away. ): ). I got to be an audience member at American Idol and rode my favorite attraction at Hollywood which is the Great Movie Ride. It was fun, but then it started pouring so I left. So, about Theresa, Jordan and Laura. They are all pretty great. I am really close to Theresa and Jordan though. They are amazing and I am so glad we live together. My experience here would be much different without them. I know they will be a big part of my life for the rest of my life. I still have to go to Animal Kingdom, hopefully i go soon. On the other hand, I have gone to the Florida Mall, Millennia Mall and the Prime Outlets and they are all pretty great. There will be more to come.
I took forever to post this and I'm sorry. I am mad at myself for not keeping up. I need to try harder. Hopefully I will update this as often as possible. Well I am finishing this up on my way to work on my phone so I guess I'll end it here, but I will write soon.
I will post pictures on my next post.
Have a magical Saturday! :)

Random Post Today
Hey lovely readers,
Good evening. I hope you guys are enjoying my blog so far though I haven't really posted much. I promise it will get better as I go on. Today I was going to do a special post, but it's just going to have to wait. I waited to write this at night because I love to write and I had the day off today and I would have wanted to write more than one post and I am trying to limit myself to one post a day. Today turned out to be very different than planned. Originally I was going to work on school work in the morning and go to Hollywood Studios in the afternoon. Well I woke up this morning and thought I was going to die. I had the wold's worst cramps and decided that I would stay home instead and postpone my plans. I had a miracle happen to me and it's not something I can really just post on here for you guys, but lets just say it has to do with my health and I just hope things get better from here on. I was very happy for this miracle. When all of a sudden I get another miracle. I heard from a friend that I had not heard from in a while and that just means that I had a good day today aside from the pain, but a little ibuprofen helped. I did not accomplish as much as I would have liked, but at least I got some laundry done. Disney is the place where dreams come true so maybe mines will one day. Earlier today I got to talk to my friend Katie whom I have not talked to much in months and it was so nice to catch up and plan how fun our next school year is going to be. I love Disney and I am definitely coming back, but I cannot wait to go back to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and be around all my friends again. This afternoon I got to spend time with one of my roommates Theresa as we watched our Monday night show Switched At Birth it's something we do weekly and it's pretty awesome. I just wanted to let you guys know I got two miracles in one day and even above that I had a pretty good day off. This was just a random post about my day, but once again if there's anything you want me to write about let me know and I will definitely do so. Tomorrow's post will be more interesting. Good night loves. <3

A Little About The Disney College Program
Good evening my lovely readers. :) I thought I would write a post about my current adventure the Disney College Program. I don't even know where to begin. I obviously can write a whole entire blog just on the program and many have. I have a Tumblr about it, but haven't updated it very much though I wish I did. I guess on this post I will just describe what the program is and the steps to applying. I could go into great detail, but then if any of you want to apply you won't have any surprises and that's no fun. The Disney College Program is an internship in which you come work for Disney. You can choose to work for Walt Disney World in Florida or Disneyland Resort in California. It's pretty unique in that it encompasses three different things into one. Living, Earning, and Learning. Living is especially unique because not many internships provide housing. The housing is not free, but it includes so many things and they take it right from your paycheck so you never have to worry about it. Earning, not all internships are paid, but lucky for us this one is. Learning, this is pretty unique because most internships only either pay you or give you credit or neither and Disney gives you the opportunity for both which is pretty cool. This internship is an internship for any major because you learn valuable skills that will help in any career path. It is pretty cool that you are not required to take a class while you are here, but are encouraged to do so. You can work in any of the many roles. I have only been here a month and I'm here for another six months so you will definitely hear more about my adventures while I'm down here. For those of you who are interested in doing the program it can be done either in Fall or Spring and can be one of two lengths for each one either Fall or Fall Advantage or Spring or Spring Advantage. Fall is from mid to late August until January. Fall Advantage is from late May early June until January. Spring is from January until May. Finally, Spring Advantage is January to August. I am here for Spring Advantage. They don't have a lot of requirements to apply. You need to be 18 years old at the time of check in. You have to be enrolled in a college or university at least half time at the time of application. Also, you must have unrestricted work authorization. You must also have full availability. Lastly, you must meet your school's requirements for the program. Applying is pretty easy, but many people get so nervous so it's better to know about the process ahead of time. Step one is the application you can go to http://cp.disneycareers.com/en/default/ and click Apply Now to apply. After the application the next step is the web based interview. This is basically a questionnaire about you and your work ethic. My advice to you is be honest and consistent. After you will either be offered a phone interview or not. If you do move on to the phone interview that is the last step. During the phone interview once again be honest and consistent. If you apply and make it this far, congratulations! After the phone interview within two weeks you should find out whether you have been accepted or not and then from there is just planning. Something to note is that if you are offered a role you must accept and pay $300.00 within ten days, so make sure you save up and have the money. No, they are not charging you to do this internship they are for your first couple of weeks of rent and $100.00 go to the events they host and trust me it's worth it. Well that is an overview on the program and the application process. I hope it was helpful. If you have any questions make sure to leave them in the comments. If any of you are curious I work parking at Hollywood Studios. That's all for today it looks like. Hope you enjoyed it. Have a magical day! :D

First Post & Introduction.
Hey lovely readers,
Welcome to my blog. Today is the first day of this blog, but definitely not the last. I hope a year from now I can look back and still be keeping up with this blog and hopefully many more years to come. I will begin with an introduction of myself.
My name is Emily Marie. I am 20 years old and an aspiring blogger and journalist. I was born in Chicago, Illinois, but grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am sophomore in college studying Journalism with minors in Spanish and History. I currently attend the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, but I hope to transfer back to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh next fall. I love lots of things among them Disney, reading, soccer, social media, and dancing, but my one passion is writing. I may not be the world's greatest writer, but I hope to improve with time and I think one way of helping me improve is by having a blog. It took me forever to come up with a name and a title and it is still not my number one choice, but I thought it fit my personality. I have many dreams, goals and aspirations and I am working hard to accomplish them. I originally was going to write a blog about my experiences that I am currently having here in Florida. I am currently doing the Disney College Program and it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am sure you will read tons about that on here, but I felt like that would limit me, so I figured I could include it on here, but among other things as well. Basically, this blog is going to be about a lot of random things. Whatever I am in the mood of writing that day I will write about. This blog will be a way for me to work on my writing and for you (anyone who reads it) to get to know me. If you have any topic you would like me to write about don't hesitate to comment and I will do my best to write about that topic. I hope I actually get readers so you can all go on my adventures with me and see how I grow day by day. As I mentioned before, I am currently working at Disney and that keeps me busy so I might not be able to update every day, but I will definitely try do update this as much as I can. I will talk to you in my next post. Have a magical day!
