16 Reasons Why Hersheypark Is Forever My Favorite Place
Molly Cohen

I cannot remember how old I exactly was when I first went to Hersheypark, but I believe I was around 10. Right when I got there, I fell in love. I went with fellow campers of mine. After that, I would go back mostly every year and each year just got better and better. I even go back twice in a year! Here are 16 things that I love about Hersheypark.

1. The Staff

The staff has always been so friendly making the experience so enjoyable.

2. The Staff Dressed In Costumes!

I always enjoy running into these guys! They are awesome.

3. Hershey Christmas

A blurry picture of my friend Nicole and I but going to Hershey during Christmas time is magical. The lights, the yummy cookie smores, the sweet smell of hot cocoa - it is amazing!

4. The Rides!

Hershey has some of the best rollercoasters! My favorites include The Stormrunner (above), Fahrenheit, Wildcat, and Greatbear!

5. The Ferris Wheel and The Monorail!

I know these are rides but they give you a great view of the park! I also recommend the kissing tower if you want an awesome view and just some romantic time!

6. The Chocolate, DUHH!

Hershey Park sells some of the most AMAZING brands of chocolate. It is simply delicious.

7. Chocolate World!


You simply cannot go to Hersheypark without visiting Chocolate World and getting a tour ride! And they give you free candy at the end!

8. Their Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Hands down, the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had can be bought in Chocolate World!

9. Hershey Town!

Simply a friendly and warm welcoming town to explore!

10. The Boardwalk!

Go have a splash!

11. ZooAmerica!

Located inside Hershey Park, go take a peak at some amazing animals!

12. World's Largest Chocolate Bar!


FIVE POUNDS!

13. The Great Disability Accommodations

Being that I have a physical disability, Hershey has always made my visit 100x easier with the accommodations they make, which I am grateful for.

14. Measuring Yourself, Candy Style!

I always know my height, but it is just natural to see which "Candy" you are!

15. The Hersheypark Welcome sign!

You always need to take a picture with the welcome sign! It is a must!

16. It Is Just Awesome

My family and I enjoy it every year. This is us during Christmas Time in 2016! Thank you Hershey for always being so SWEET! Who knows, maybe I'll work here someday!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
