Disney Tomorrowland Ride Challenge Rope Drop!

https://www.thenerdelement.com/2022/06/19/disney-tomorrowland-ride-challenge-rope-drop/

Hi everyone! Today I want to just talk about a fun challenge that sometimes people would do. So, this will be about the rides in Tomorrowland and see what rides you can do within at least 2-3 hours. Like for instance, if you start the challenge at 8:00am when the park opens, then there is a chance that you can get those rides done on time. The rides in Tomorrowland are Star Tours, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Space Mountain, Astro Orbiter, Autopia, and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage which is closed for refurbishment. Now before I go into the details of what rides to go on first and last, I want you guys to know how to do a rope drop at Disneyland Park. So, you have to be up pretty early and be at the park at 7:15am or earlier so that you won’t be behind a whole bunch of people. Then you would have to wait at the gate until they start letting you in at 7:30am and you walk to the path to enter Tomorrowland which it will be on the right of the Sleeping Beauty Castle. You just want to be there as early as you can so that you won’t be standing behind so many people. It doesn’t have to be at the very front, but at least you have to be one of the first with some people in front of you. Once the cast members let you in the actual park itself at 8:00am, people are most likely going to run or speed walk to the most popular attraction. Okay now, I will go over the rides that you might want to get on first and then last and I’m going to explain why you should do this first and last. So, here we go:

  1. Space Mountain
  2. Star Tours
  3. Buzz Lightyear ride
  4. Astro Orbiter
  5. Autopia

Alright, now let me explain why I think that you should go to Space Mountain the first thing. The reason that you should go there first is because the line for Space is going to fill up pretty quick and if you go to Star Tours or Buzz Lightyear ride first, then there is a good chance that you might be in line for Space for quite a bit. Space Mountain is the most popular ride of all time in Tomorrowland. So, if you start a challenge at 8:00am when they open up and if you want to be done with those rides I listed above within 2-3 hours, do you guys think that would be either 10:00am or 11:00am without trying to use the Genie App? You might want to try and avoid using Genie plus because it might mess up your chances of getting it done. Don’t try to get the rides done 4-5 hours because that would be absolutely ridiculous!! I think that it may actually be a lot of fun doing the challenge in Tomorrowland don’t you think?!

So, what do you guys think about ride challenge in Tomorrowland?! I would love to hear your thoughts, opinions, and comments down below! Stay tuned for more Disney updates for fun.

You’ve Graduated From College. What’s Next?

https://blackgirlnerds.com/youve-graduated-from-college-whats-next/

Graduations are an exciting time culminating in a journey of hard work and determination. It’s a festive time for families and friends to honor and congratulate the graduate on their achievements. I always enjoy this time of year, scrolling through my social media feeds and seeing the pictures of big smiles and promises. Once the dust has settled — then what?

In 2020, about 4 million of all college students graduated with degrees from associate to doctorate. But too many also walked across the stage worried about the future and mountains of debt. There’s that one thing called employment that can be stressful to obtain, especially during a global pandemic.

Now, reality sets in. Graduates are worried about obtaining viable employment and what they will do for the rest of their lives. Student loan bills will become due in about six months and can be a nightmare, especially when you’re still trying to get established.

Even as the workforce expands, Black graduates still feel the brunt of discrimination and are therefore more vulnerable. Black graduates continue to be almost twice as likely as white graduates to be unemployed.

The truth is that for many Black graduates, the benefits of a college education may not have lived up to the promise. A friend of mine’s son graduated last year with a degree in business administration. He aspired to work in marketing and applied to major companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google. When those didn’t come through, he had to pick up work as a cashier for $10 an hour. It was a similar situation with many of his fellow classmates.

The unemployment gap between Black and white college graduates narrows as people get older. Last year, it was 3.5 percent for whites versus nearly 6 percent for Black people. But the delay in finding a job can resonate years down the road — reducing wages over a lifetime.

The concept of “getting a good job” is different for everyone. Many of our parents drilled that into us from an early age because it was the most practical advice they could give. Yet, in a COVID-19 world, college graduates must remain open and be able to adjust expectations. If the pandemic has made anything clear, it’s that perfect plans can go left at any time. Now, it’s important to prioritize health, safety, and living a life you actually enjoy.

Society puts tremendous pressure on young people – and young people put on themselves – to have their lives figured out by the time they walk across the stage. The truth is, figuring it out is a long game. We are constantly evolving and creating new chapters in our story.

When I started college, my parents advised me to use the time to prepare. Classes and school will be the easy part because it’s structured. In the real world, there will be changes every day — and there’s no syllabus telling you what comes next. Build relationships through networking, and go after professional, personal, and creative opportunities that bring you happiness. Making connections is key even outside of the office. These days, social media makes it easy to insert yourself into existing conversations and build relationships with people.

Graduating from college without a job or prospects for a job can be scary. So, now is the time to define what risk means to you and what you’ve cared about up to this point. It might be risky to go against your parent’s wishes. For someone else, the risk might be quitting the safe, stable job they hate for a lower-paying job they’ll love and gives them peace of mind. Either way, you only perceive these things as risks because they don’t live up to the opinions of other people. The truth is, they may not live up to the expectations you had for yourself. You don’t want to disappoint, but guess what? The threat is mostly — or completely — in your head.

The discomfort you feel is not because you’re doing anything wrong, it’s because you’re thinking and doing something different – something you actually want to do. If you can get past that fear, and realize that risks come with rewards, you’ll be great.

My friend’s son that I mentioned earlier? While working as a cashier, he continued to send out resumes every week and have some interviews. In the meantime, he decided to step out on faith. He began using social media to market his skills to small businesses, offering them everything from building websites to creating marketing plans. After he worked with his first client, he gained a referral and then another referral. Once he began to think differently about his situation, things began to change. Eventually, a company reached out to him via LinkedIn, and he secured the marketing job he always wanted. He’s also still investing energy into his side-hustle that has grown beyond what he imagined.

Many people advocate for not even attending college – that it’s a waste of time and money. While it’s true that college is not for everybody, I would disagree that it’s a waste. I believe everyone has their own path, and believe it or not, there are still many careers that require a college education. What’s also true is that everyone does not desire to be an entrepreneur.

What I know for sure is that graduating from college is a first step outside of the preverbal “box” that everyone preaches about. Graduating is no small feat. Even better, you can literally do anything you put your mind to. Try different jobs, industries, and your own passions to get a sense of how they make you feel. If you ever feel pressured to do one thing, or fit perfectly into a box, just remember that there is no box. Don’t be discouraged if you have to move back home with your parents for a while, or even take a job as a cashier. Never stop with your goals. This season of life doesn’t have to be scary and stressful. Know that you have time to figure it out. You can truly determine what happens next.
