Your questions… answered!

Questions from E at Adventure of E about my experience with the Disney College Program.

1. What do you want to do with your marketing degree?

Wow… there is SO much!! Ideally, I would love to work for a larger corporation managing their marketing department or become the VP of Marketing somewhere. Another idea would be to open up my own marketing consulting business that was affordable for the small businesses in the community since I know how important that is because my dad owns a small business. And then another idea is to just open up my own business that doesn’t necessarily focus on marketing (it could be a boutique kind of store) but use my marketing skills to make it successful, or ALL OF THE ABOVE! I want to do so much… that was a really great question!!

2. How did you end up at Disney?

I had a few jobs I was interviewing for and was actually offered one job at the time, but my boyfriend wanted me to go with him to the Disney presentation on campus, so I did. I was having a hard time deciding which job I wanted to take and wasn’t feeling at peace about any of them, until I applied for Disney. In the end, it ended up working out, they offered me the job, and I moved down here!

3. Do you do housekeeping at Disney or somewhere else?

I work at the Disney Boardwalk hotel as a housekeeper. It’s the job they offered me for the college program internship. It is definitely some of the hardest work I’ve ever done, I’m thankful to know that I won’t be here forever because I already feel it aging me- I have such a huge respect for the people who do this job every day because I sure don’t think I could!

4. What is the coolest thing someone has left for you in their room?

Hmm… the best thing I’ve gotten is a fifty dollar tip! (twice!) But I get a lot of food too – good pasta, cereal, cookies, once… a whole bag of potatoes!, frozen dinners, tons of water bottles and cokes, just lots of food, which is nice, I don’t go grocery shopping very much. But I haven’t gotten anything cool like an ipod yet- if we find items like that, we turn it into lost and found and are able to keep it after 30 or 90 days I believe, but haven’t gotten anything yet!

Thank you so much E for your fabulous questions. Feel free to drop a question in the comments!

Happy Friday 🙂

It’s OK Thursday and who is up for a challenge?

Let me start with It’s OK Thursday, then I’ll jump into my challenge later! I always love Thursday’s because of this very link up!

It’s OK…
… to fall off the workout wagon every once in a while as long as you get back on it at some point
… to love blogging, right? RIGHT!
… to strongly believe that the only time it’s acceptable to over eat is when it’s on reeses
… to get free expensive chocolate because price management gave our apartment the “white glove award” for being super clean! whoop whoop!
… to be somewhat disappointed that there wasn’t as much enthusiasm with comments on my How I met Your Mother post as I anticipated (I was really excited about it! lol)
… to do a double post in one day!
… to do small things during the day that make you feel really good about yourself
… to have your day off interrupted with a phone call for work asking you to come in for ONE HOUR and get paid for FOUR HOURS! Yeah, I’m ok with that!
What’s OK with YOU!?
now….

I’ve been seeing a lot of picture posts and thought it would be fun to join up for a picture challenge, so I’m doing the March photo-a-day challenge just to dip my toes in the water and see how I like it!

Check back every Saturday to see the pictures I’ve taken for the week!! I’m so excited about this!!

Oh, How pinteresting!

I love the pinteresting link-up, because there is always so much good stuff to share! Today I will be combining a post in a way… as I’ve mentioned, my sister has been dying for me to do a How I Met Your Mother post. We are somewhat obsessed- Me, Nick, Joel, my sisters, other friends… everyone! I mean, who isn’t? So today, I’ll be showing some stuff I’ve recently received dealing with HIMYM, along with finding my pins for the day that go along with this theme! I’m so excited about this!

First, I’ve gotten quite a few presents…

This was from Elyse, my roommate for our Valentine’s secret swap. It’s coffee with the best quote in the world, well Barney… if you must know, I ALWAYS SUIT UP!

This was my Christmas present from my little sister, it’s a slap bet commissioner t-shirt, and YES I can officially initiate a slap bet, so hit me up!

This was part of my Valentine’s gift from Elyse as well… and yes… I know you’re wondering, I AM officially the new co-host on Metro News 1 with Robin, and yes… we are BFF.

Now for some pinterest!
