The height. The speed. The fear. The weightlessness. The rush. Roller coasters are huge attractions all over the world because of the excitement that comes with riding on them. Despite many theme parks being home to some legendary coasters, one spot takes the cake. The roller coaster capital of the world, or more commonly known as Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, is a 365-acre amusement park that boasts a long list of thrill rides. Since more than three and a half million people visited here in 2015, riders new and old have decided which coasters are worth the trip. Seven and a half hours from Philadelphia and three hours from Pittsburgh to be exact. Here are the top roller coasters at Cedar Point that keep thrill seekers coming back for more:

Millenium Force- This phenom takes you up 310 intimidating feet to bring you down an 80 degree drop, while hitting a speed of 93 miles per hour.


Magnum XL 200- With a perfect view of Canada at the top of the hill, this was the first coaster ever to top 200 feet.


GateKeeper- The tallest, fastest, and longest wing coaster in the world! A wing coaster sits riders level on the left or right the side of the track.


Top Thrill Dragster- Only 17 seconds long. But, riders shoot from zero to 120 miles per hour in less than four seconds to sit atop a whopping 420 foot hill five seconds later.


Maverick- Twist and turn on this coaster that starts with an inverted 95 degree drop.

Raptor- It all starts when you hear, "There goes the floor, you're out the door - enjoy your ride on Raptor!" Fly with your feet dangling and enduring six loops throughout the ride.


Rougarou- A floorless coaster with fast twists and inversions


Valravn- The tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the world beginning with a completely vertical 90 degree drop!

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.
