Even though I'm having the time of my life here at the Disney College Program and I have had the opportunity to meet so many important people involved within the company, I still have to admit. This program does start to take its toll on you. It wasnt until a couple weeks ago during work that I really started to miss my friends back home.
I was working at my usual location when out of the blue, a couple cars rolled up to the kiosk and when i leaned in to talk to them, I realized that my friends were in both cars. By coincidence they had just arrived to the hotel to pick up another friend and didnt realize it was actually my work location. Thats when the "friendsickness" started. I dont call it "home sickness" because I dont actually miss home, I more miss my friends that ARE home.

| This is essentially my life right now. |
See because what the recruiters dont tell you at the recruiting events is that this will be an experience of a lifetime and you will make lifelong fiends and connections that you could only dream of BUT the trade off, you will lose some friends back home, you will grow up a lot faster and you REALLY shouldnt try to take classes at your University at the same time.
Most of nights that arent spent working are spent trying to decide if I want to miss that week's assignemt for my 4 classes or go out and make those lifelong friends and connections that I was sold on when starting the program. Lately unfortunately I've been more focused on everything BUT school. Time management is really something I should look into. What I have decided is this though, I LOVE my job, I LOVE my friends here and I LOVE the area but sometimes, work or school, or social life has to be sacrified. You can only pick two options.
I have had some pretty epic and memorable events here though. Just to take a break from the past couple weeks of formalities, i'll share some pictures of what my life has been like these past couple of months here at the college program in Anaheim,ca. Enjoy!
