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!
