Five Best Rides According To Someone Who Did Not Ride A Single One.

I hate roller coasters.

Five Best Rides According To Someone Who Did Not Ride A Single One.
cedar point

Yesterday I went to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Cedar Point is known to be one of the top amusement parks, they even have the number one coaster in the entire world. This is all great and exciting expect for the fact that I hate roller coasters. So for 10 hours straight, I watched my friends scream with fear and for joy as they rode some pretty insane looking coasters. In my opinion, as someone who did not ride a single roller coaster, these are by far the best.

1. Millennium Force

After careful consideration, I realized this is the roller coaster I would rather die than go on, so I've ranked it as number one. It goes up to 93 mph and there's an 80-degree drop. No thank you.

2. Valravn

This is Cedar Point's brand new roller coaster and because of that the line was two-hours long. Luckily, my friends decided that was too long of a wait. But I had a lot of fun watching people scream their heads off going 75 mph at a 90-degree drop.

3. Gatekeeper

Nope. Absolutely terrifying. My friends went on it three times in a row though so they must have thought it was pretty fun. This coaster apparently has the most track at any park so I guess that's kind of cool.

4. Top Thrill Dragster

This one is over before it really begins. It's only 17 seconds long but you go from 0 to 120 mph in less than four seconds, get shot 420 feet into the air and then somehow get off alive. Thankfully, this one was closed yesterday due to high winds.

5. Skyhawk

Surprisingly, my friends said that this one was the scariest. And, lucky for me, I got to stand pretty close and watch their terrified little faces screaming for dear life. It might have been their least favorite but it was definitely the most fun to watch.

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.

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.

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.
