HEY. STOP SCROLLING!

You’re perfect just the way you are, and I hope someone genuinely makes you smile today.

sometimes life does funny things to you. It just throws a whole bunch of shit your way, and even though sometimes it gives you the things you need to handle it, it doesn’t make it any easier to handle and it’s hard to take those things that you need. it’s hard to be the one that worries about your parents when they’re supposed to be the ones worrying about you and taking care of you. it doesn’t really seem to work that way as much as it should. it’s hard to be the only person without a love interest in your life at the moment, especially when the people closest to you have multiple. it’s even harder to look back at your previous love interests who chose to go out of their way to manipulate a situation to get a couple hours to talk to you or are so disinterested with you that after 3 days of minor obnoxiously insignificant small-talk has not asked you one question about your life, not even how are you. i think that’s the hardest one to bear. that kills a small part of you knowing that the person who used to be most of your world for a very long time would really appreciate having nothing to do with you thank you. so please stop contacting them. i’ve never been really good at that. or i didn’t reply when it mattered most. i don’t know. the sad part is part of me still thinks i made the right decision, in the sense that a lot of my insecurities currently are from that relationship and thinking that i was insignificant. well as luck would have it, turns out i actually am now. finals are right around the corner and i can’t focus. i’m having trouble studying. and the sad part is i don’t really know what to do with myself. and then it makes sense why you’re the only one without a love interest. because you haven’t figured yourself out, and figured out what you like about you. so how on earth can you expect anyone else to?

so...we’re at the “just keep swimming. just keep swimming”

dear matt,

it’s been a long time. a very long time. over a year since we actually saw each other. over six months since i actually really talked to you. i head about your grandma a little over a week ago. i wanted to say i’m sorry. i’m very truly sorry for your loss. your grandma is an amazing woman and she lived a wonderful life because she got to know you, and britt, and josh, and all of your family. i worry about you. every day. i wish i had replied to your “thank you” but i just want to make sure you’re okay, not make it worse. and i feel like reaching out would make it worse. i worry that you’re not happy and that it’s going to take a while for you to be even remotely okay. although tbh if it was my grandma idk that i’d ever truly be okay. and i debate just about everyday trying to reach out. but i realized that you need the love and support of people who are close to you now, and that’s not me anymore. and i don’t want to make it worse. so just know that i pray just about everyday for you. just to send a little extra love your way, not necessarily from me, but where ever you need it to come from. at the end of the day you will always be my first love. and first loves you never really truly get over, they will always hold a special place in your heart no matter where you go. thus part of me will be very worried for you, no matter how long its been since we’ve talked. 

it’s crazy to think how much has changed since we’ve talked. i’m a very different person I was than when we started dating, i’m a very different person from a year ago, and I imagine that holds true to you as well. i haven’t stalked in a long time, mostly because it is too hard, but i have recently. it looks like disney is absolutely wonderful, and looks like you’ve made some really wonderful friends there. Imma go with that’s where the extra love is coming from :P you look happy, genuinely happy which at the end of the day makes me smile. You deserve very much to be happy. Life has been rough to you and you’ve gotten dealt some pretty shitty hands, not that I’ve particularly helped with that, but it’s time for you to get dealt some other hands now. You are in the happiest place on earth after all :P so enjoy it as much as you possibly can. I just wanted to wish you luck with all of your medical school applications and all of the secondaries as they are a huge pain in the ass. you’ll do wonderful. and you’ll be a fantastic doctor and make your grandma super proud! as well as the rest of your family too. You have a huge heart matt and that will take you extremely far.

Best of luck in all of your future endeavors and I hope you live a long, happy, and fulfilling life.

Love,

Katie

I've got a great group of friends. I've got a great guy and i've got no complaints :) <3

DCP Phone Interview Tips and Advice!

Hi everyone! I just had my phone interview for the Disney College Program (at Disney World) last night so I thought I’d make a list of tips and advice I was given (or that I found online) that really helped me feel confident during my interview!

Before my interview, I found a huge list of possible questions on this girl Alyssa’s blogspot http://alyssasdreamcometrue.blogspot.com/p/interview-questionstips.html and, I have to say, it helped me a lot. So thank you, Alyssa, whoever you are! I’ll be posting most of the questions she compiled here on my blog.

The first thing you should know about the phone interview is that the interviewer will be calling from a blocked or restricted number so make sure you answer the phone! My interview was scheduled for 8:00, but my interviewer called at 7:45. So be prepared about a half hour before your scheduled time because you never know if they’ll call early! And make sure your phone is charged! I can’t think of anything worse than your phone dying during an interview.

If you’re nervous (which I sure as heck was), try your best to relax. I locked myself in my room at 7:25, put on upbeat Disney music, sat on my bed, and waited for the phone to ring. Do whatever you have to do to make yourself less nervous. For me, singing along to “When We’re Human” from Princess and the Frog calmed me down.

At 7:45, the phone rang, I shut my music, and my interview started. My interviewer began by giving me an overview of the program and breaking down the components of the interview. Her first question for me was the infamous question:

Why do you want to work for Disney?/Why do you want to do the Disney College Program?

1. Always have a water bottle in your car 2. Carry an extra lighter (even if you don’t smoke) 3. Get something new where you go to eat often, not just your usual. 4. Make a budget for yourself 5. But don’t forget to give yourself some play money and always round up on how much things cost so you have money left over 6. If you’re texting someone, but nervous to send it, just click the fucking send button. You typed that shit out for a reason. 7. Stay out late, but wake up early. You’ll be glad you had all of your day. 8. If something makes you laugh until your sides hurt, write it down in the notes in your phone, you’ll want to remember that later. 9. When you’re talking to someone, and you suddenly think of something you want to say, put up a finger and wait for them to finish talking. It’ll help you remember what you wanted to say, but you won’t interrupt them. 10. Go to plenty of concerts. Especially outdoor ones. Get drunk with your friends, but not sloppy drunk. Just drunk enough to scream your favorite songs and dance without feeling embarrassed. 12. Always keep a change of clothes in your car. Including a pair of shoes. You never know. 13. Keep at least $20 cash on you at all times. Gas is usually cheaper when you pay with cash, and not everywhere you go to eat splits checks. 14. It’s okay to be sad, but try not to forget about what makes you happy. 15. Coupons are always fantastic. 16. If you think something is cute, fucking wear it. Don’t worry about what everyone else thinks. You’ll look great, I promise. 17. Sex stores are fun, even if you just want a good laugh. 18. Plan out your days off with your friends, that way you aren’t stuck around asking the “I don’t know what do you wanna do” 19. Don’t forget to remind your friends how much they mean to you. 20. If someone gives you a compliment, smile and say thank you. They wouldn’t say it, if they didn’t mean it. 21. Drink plenty of water. Not only does it keep you hydrated, but clears your skin. 22. I know you might want to be tan, but is it really worth being burnt and exposing yourself to all that skin cancer bull shit? No. Use at least SPF 15. It’s not that hard and you’ll still tan. So stop being a brat. 23. You’re allowed to be happy. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. 24. Aim to be better, not bitter. 25. Some days are better than others. 26. You can never over pack. Pack what you want. You’ll be glad you have options to choose from. 27. Take those extra hours at work. It’ll be worth it when you see your paycheck. 28. Clean your fucking room and make your bed you slob. It’ll look so much nicer and you’ll feel better you did it. 29. If you have to, make the first move. It’s scary, but someone has to do it. 30. Take plenty of pictures. Of the sunset, your food, your friends, your dog, selfies. Everything. That way, later when you scroll through your camera roll, you’ll remember everything about that day, good or bad.
