This just happened a couple of nights ago on New Years Eve, but is definitely a moment I will remember and cherish for a long time.
Back story: New Years Eve was the last day of work for many people in the college program and out of all my CP coworkers at The Seas, I was the only one who had decided to extend and stay down at Disney until May.
Since it was New Years Eve, Epcot's busiest day of the year, I expected to be working all day, open to close. As luck would have it, me and five of my closest friends all were scheduled to be off at 4pm, so we decided that after work we would hang around the park until the fireworks at midnight. We were a pretty tight-knit group, having all started the program at the same time and having spent the last seven months working together. I considered them to be more than just my coworkers and friends, but, being so far from home, they were like family. This was our last chance to be together and I realized that I may very well never see any of them again, since we are from all different parts of the country. This made watching the fireworks at midnight and celebrating the New Year with them all the more special. And as we all hugged each other at midnight, there were definitely some tears being shed as well. Now, whenever I think of the friends that I made during my college program, I will always remember that moment.
