After College Can Be Magical!

As we near the last few weeks of the semester, some people are excited, others are sad, and some are just simply freaking out.  The mixed emotions of leaving the place you have called home for the last 4 years, mixed with the pressure of finding a good job, passing all of your classes, leaving some friends forever, and becoming an adult can be a lot...but take a deep breath. 

During college you have an amazing network of leaders, alumni, and students who are eager to find that next big step to adult life.  Take advantage of all of that.   

Secondly, do something that will benefit you and others around you, and leave your legacy.  I was the first student at Bloomsburg University to get an affiliation agreement signed for Bloomsburg University to offer internships with the Walt Disney Resorts in Orlando, Florida.  Not only did I fight my way through the troubles, the rejection, and the naysayers to make this dream a reality, but I have opened the doors for others.  From the Mass Communications department alone, there are currently over 8 participants in the Disney College Program, and more than a dozen more around the university.  It is imperative that you do what you want in order to become successful after your 4 years at the university. 

On May 18th, I begin my next big step in acquiring my dream job of an Event Planner at Walt Disney World.  I will be moving to Florida permanently and working as a cast member again.  Anything you want to do is possible, but you have to go out and chase those dreams.  No one is going to come to you and ask you if you want your dream to come true.  Put in the hours, do the work, and have fun. 

Truly, if you do a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
