Bucket List: Amusement Park Edition

There are a few amusement parks that I have yet to visit and soon enough I will go to all of them.

Bucket List: Amusement Park Edition
Holly Alexander

Amusement Parks. Roller Coasters. Funnel Cake. Three words that are jovial and delightful. Since I was young, I have always loved going to amusement parks. The drop on the tallest roller coaster is the thrill of it all and the funnel cake (you just have to love funnel cake). I have been to a few amusement parks but there are some that I have yet to conquer (or relive) and I aspire to do so.

1. Disneyland/world franchise: Yes I know, it's very surprising that I’ve never been to either. As of right now, I just enjoy Disney movies and songs but I dream of a day when I will be able to take a picture in front of the castle.

2. Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, FL: I went to the one in Virginia and it was an absolute blast (favorite ride was Apollo's Chariot). It is only right that I visit the 2nd location.

3. Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA: I have been to Six Flags Great Adventure and the one in New England. It would be great to try something new since Six Flags Great Adventure is pretty much a regular for me. Two of my favorite rides at Great Adventure are Nitro and El Toro.

4. Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH: I have heard of this amusement park on multiple occasions. I’ve done research on this park and the rides look phenomenal. So soon enough I will see you Cedar Point.

5. Kings Dominion in Doswell, VA: I went to Kings Dominion 10 years ago and from what I can remember I had loads of fun. My favorite rides were Hypersonic XLC (which is sadly no longer there) and Volcano. Griffin is a thrill ride that I chickened out on and I regret not going on it till this day. I would love to go back and recreate memories at Kings Dominion.

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.
