For a fun summer day.

This past Friday I went to Six Flags Over Texas, and to save you a little time, I thought I would tell you what I believe to be the top eight rides at Six Flags Over Texas.

1. The Riddler Revenge.

This is number one because it is by far my favorite. If you aren't a huge fan of the straight down roller coasters, this might be a good option for you. This ride operates on a kind of pendulum, swinging up and down, and turns you while you swing. I like it because it's more of a slow-paced ride but is still packed with tons of exhilaration.

2. The Titan.


The Titan is one of Six Flags Over Texas's top rides. It features an exhilarating drop and coils that will have you struggling to keep your eyes open. I personally rode this ride three times in a row because I think it is the perfect mixture of exciting and fun.

3. The New Texas Giant.

The Texas Giant is sure to blow your hair back and knock your head around a bit. This ride has an amazing drop coupled with some killer speed that will have you walking around with wind-blown hair all day.

4. Superman Tower of Power.


This ride is also one of my favorites because I've always been a huge fan of rides that get down to the point, and boy does this one. It's 345 feet tall and you drop straight down, so if you're a fan of that tummy-turning feeling but don't really feel like going on a long ride, this is the one for you.

5. Texas SkyScreamer.

This ride is the perfect fit for riding at the end of your long park day with your partner or even a family member. You go all the way up and see an amazing view of the city and get to feel the wind in your hair. P.S. Taking your shoes off to feel the wind in your toes is a definite must with this one.

6. Runaway Mountain.


I love this ride because you never know what is coming next. This whole ride is in complete darkness so you can't see at all, making it super exhilarating. The one downside to this ride is that it doesn't have anywhere to put your belongings. So, if you are like me and carry a lot, you might want to have one person wait and hold everyone's things while you ride.

7. Batman The Ride.


Oh boy is this ride fast. If you love speed, then this is definitely your ride. Of all of the hair-blowing rides, this is definitely the top.

8. MR. FREEZE: Reverse Blast.


Be forewarned: if you do not like rides that go backward, do not ride this. You start off by shooting straight backwards on this loop and then double back going forwards.

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.
