Journal #15

Happy Belated New Year! Its crazy to think that y program is over. I had to say some of the hardest goodbyes ever this past week. It is just crazy to go from working and living with your group of friends to not seeing them everyday. We have plans to meet up here in New York in June already. Thank god or else it would have been a lot harder not knowing when I will see them again. This is a really hard post for me to write because I have so much to say but not the energy to write it or the feelings to. I still so emotionally drained from all the goodbyes. No one will understand what we had to go through unless you have done the program. It was like we were living in a Fantasy World and in some cases working in FantasyLand and did not have to worry about a thing except getting a point, or getting termed. Now we are back in reality being a real person in a real world worrying about real person things like bills and work. Its crazy. Things will never be the same for me. I almost feel homesick in my home. Disney will always have a special place in my heart and that family will always have my heart.

    I see that you wrote that you and the friends that you made in Disney made plans to all meet up in June in NYC. Well, June will be here in just a few more days! Do you still have these plans? How has it been keeping in touch with all of your new friends from Disney, while readjusting to living back at home with all of your older friends and family?

    Thank you,
    Andrea C.

    Andrea,
    Yes we still have those plans. The week of June 15th in the Hamptons. The plans did change because not everyone could make it, and summer classes and such, but a good portion of us are still going to be there. As far as coming back from Disney…… Well easily the hardest thing I have done in my life. My advice is once you find your group of friends, and believe me you will know when you found them, just take every moment for granted, cause in Jan you wont have them. There are so many songs I can not listen to anymore because it makes me think of Disney. They would be the songs that we would listen to after we just worked 15 hours together and just blast them on the car ride home, as our way of unwinding. It is super hard going from only worrying about getting a point on your card or worrying about getting termed to back to NYC and being a real person and back to your friends up here. We still talk every single day, we have massive group messages that go all day and night long because we are from all parts of the country. I am still readjusting 5 months later from Disney. It’s going to take a while to get back to normal, I don’t think I ever will because normal to me is when I am with my Disney family.
