Before Our Time

Four to seven months… with the option to extend for a year.

That’s how long my Disney College Program friends have during their time at Walt Disney World if they plan to head back to their lives afterwards. During the program, some tasks (like any job) can be monotonous, one day bleeds into another, and ERs (early releases) are gifts that are high commodities on certain days. Sometimes, those seven months can feel like forever.

But isn’t it funny how, at the end of it all, those seven months feel somewhat like a moment— and instead of an ER, we’re kind of wishing for maybe just one more hour with all of the amazing people we’ve gotten to know?

[time is a mockingbird; the embers of what we were
but the years are still burning in my veins, and my time is now
let us sing before our time runs out]
