Problem: Article: It could be a breakup with your boyfriend or girlfriend, a class presentation, or a job interview. Now, it’s one thing to be prepared — to study, to practice, to know whatever you have to say inside and out — but another to feel confident and self-assured when you walk into the room. Work on telling yourself that you do know exactly what you have to do, and that you’re capable of achieving it. Remind yourself of all the hard work you put into this day and that you deserve to succeed. Feeling prepared is important, but so is actually being prepared. If you want to minimize nervousness, then you have to feel on top of your game. You can’t show up feeling like you’ve forgotten your notes, don’t remember your lines, or forgot whatever you had to say to your friend or boyfriend/girlfriend. Make sure you practice what you have to say and that you have background knowledge for answering any questions, so you’re not just reciting a speech but really showing an understanding of the topic. Another way to be less nervous about a situation is to know as much as you can about it before you get there. Though you will always find some surprises and won’t always know what to expect, you can work on gleaning as much information as possible about the event so that you feel as in control as you can. Here are some ways that you can help yourself know what to expect in order to feel less nervous:  If you’re going on a date, check out the spot a day before so you have a better sense of what it looks like, how people are dressed, and anything else you may need to know to feel comfortable. You can even check out what’s on the menu so you don’t have to worry about what you’ll order. If you’re giving a presentation in a place you’ve never been to before, then see if you can go there a few days in advance to get a lay of the land. This can help you see how much space you have to move around, where you can place any relevant material for the presentation, and how much you’ll have to project your voice. If you’re giving a presentation in one of your classrooms, practice standing facing the desks before or after class to get a sense of how it will feel. You may be surprised by how different it feels to face the room from the other side. You’ll see how hard it is for your teacher! It’s important to remember that even if you fail a big test, it's okay and won't ruin your life forever. Or if you would be asking your long-time crush out and he or she rejects you, you will get over it eventually. Sit down with a friend, write in your journal, or just sit and think about all of the things you’re afraid of. Tackling your fears logically can help you realize that you have nothing to be nervous about. Ask yourself "What's the worst that could happen?" If you're rejected or failed a big test or you stuff up a presentation, it's not the end of the world. There are plenty of opportunities left in your life. Use this one as a learning experience. Focusing on what you have achieved can help to reassure you that you'll continue to achieve good things. When you’re giving a class presentation or speech, think about previous times you’ve given presentations without a hitch. If you haven’t done these things in the past, practice in front of a few friends or relatives and remind yourself of how easy that was when the big day arrives. If you’re nervous about going on a date or embarking on a romantic situation, then think about how much you’ve liked hanging out with the person in the past. Also, there’s nothing wrong with being nervous — it’s a natural reaction if you like someone!
Summary: Feel prepared for whatever you’re nervous about. Be prepared. Know what to expect. Put your worries into perspective. Focus on the positive results you’ve had in the past.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Avoid paying high fees for tickets by buying your park passes in advance. You can use the Disney World website to check out the prices and select passes for the theme parks you are planning to visit. Disney ticket prices drop with every extra day to your visit you add, so try to buy all your passes at once.  Passes can be very expensive when purchased through Disney’s website, so you may want to consider buying your passes from an authorized third-party seller. You can do this through a third-party seller like Undercover Tourist. You can also look for discounts through your local auto club (Triple-A has discounts on these theme park tickets when you have an account with them), your student union, your human resources office at work, or through Veteran Affairs if you are in the military. Do not buy passes on sites like Craigslist, eBay, or other unauthorized online ticket brokers. You cannot use someone else’s unused Disney tickets, as Disney will not accept tickets that are registered under someone else’s name. You cannot take coolers into the parks, but you can take backpacks and purses. Load up your bag with supplies like sunscreen, toiletries, band-aids, refillable water bottles, and snacks. Food and supplies in the park are often expensive so avoid spending extra money on items you can bring with you.  If you are a large party, you should each have a bag loaded with basic supplies, including non-perishable snacks and a refillable water bottle for every member who will be visiting the park that day. This will ensure that everyone in your party is prepared for a day of walking around outside and enjoying the park. A backpack is also useful for any leftovers you may have if you do decide to eat at a dining spot in the park. This way, you can snack on the leftovers later in the day. Beat the crowds by arriving at the park right at opening time. The beginning of the day is often less crowded and cooler than the afternoon, and this way, you can take advantage of all the park has to offer. This will also allow you to take a break in the middle of the day when the crowds and the heat are often at their worst and then return to the park in the evening. Most of the theme parks open at 9 am and have Extra Magic hours, where they stay open later in the evening as well. Getting to the park early can also help you get a better parking spot at your chosen theme park. Once you pay for parking for that day, you will be able to reuse that day to enter any other Disney World theme park at no additional charge for the day. One of the biggest hurdles during a visit to Disney World is the long lines for attractions and rides. You can download MyDisneyExperience or the Lines app to determine the wait time for each ride or attraction while you are at the park. You can then plan your visit around line times and avoid standing in long lines, which will eat up your chance to try other things at the park.  The app works for iPhone, Android, and other smartphones. Preserve your Disney World experience by taking lots of photographs of the attractions, the shows, the rides, and of you posing with your favorite Disney characters. You can then save money by framing these photos and keeping them as souvenirs of your trip. There are photographers hired by Disney to help you capture your special moments at the park for which they can stick it on a card and you can print them out at home (or for an additional charge, you can have them printed out at the park). Make sure you are aware of the price of the photographs before you get have them printed.
Summary:
Buy your park passes ahead of time. Bring your own snacks and supplies. Get to the park early. Use the MyDisneyExperience (by Disney) or the Lines (by Len Testa) apps to avoid long lines and crowds. Take lots of photographs and bring them home as souvenirs.
