The Post-Disney Depression...
On August 12th it will be exactly one year since I checked in for my college program. I feel like time has flown by, and it's crazy to think that another semester of CPs have already come and gone.
I miss it so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of my college program. Some days are better than others. Some days I just wanna cry and immediately book a one-way ticket back to Florida. Other days I am just thankful that I completed my program and got the experience of a lifetime.
It doesn't get easier. You leave Disney and you literally feel like a part of you is forever on Disney property. Sitting here thinking about the day I drove away from Patterson Court, the day I left my little hole-in-the-wall room in apartment 11208, I am getting choked up. It's impossible for me to put the feeling of Post Disney Depression into words. I miss my best friends, my roommates, my job, and every single memory. I would do anything to live it for just one more day. My college program helped me become who I wanted to be, and I honestly feel like I am a complete mess now that I'm gone.
If you are currently doing your college program, or you're about to start one, please promise me you'll take complete advantage of every second you have down there. Never let a single day pass you by. You might get stressed or overwhelmed, but in the end you'll be glad you did. I wish I would've done more, and I regret not doing more things while I was in Orlando, so don't make the same mistake I did. Live it up while you can, because I can guarantee you that you'll miss it.
