All Your Thoughts During an Amusement Ride
jaredunzipped

You are at some amusement park or carnival or fair or any event that has rides. And it is not just any rides, but those rides that make you say, "Nope! No way I'm getting on that!" And somehow your friend or anyone you are with convinced you to get on that intimidating amusement ride with them. Or, you may also want the adrenaline rush and for a second forget your fears. Or you are trying to prove you're not afraid. Either way, here are your thoughts before, during, and after going on an amusement ride. Because we have all been there at one point! (Unless of course, you are an adrenaline junkie and love these types of rides.)

1. "I've got this!"

It doesn't look that bad. I think I can handle it. Yeah, let's get on that ride!

2. Almost through the line

We are getting pretty close. It's really happening. . .I can hear their screams. . .Uuuuuhhhhhhhh, I don't think I want to do this anymore.

3. Can people die in rides?

I'm going on this ride. It can't be that bad. Nobody has died in an amusement ride, right? Right?

4. "Did I put my seat belt wrong?"

What if I put it on wrong? I think I put in on wrong! Does the attendant know? They will tell me something, right? RIGHT?! WHY HAVEN'T THEY CHECKED MINE YET? DON'T START THE RIDE!

5. "This will be so much fun!"

My seat belt is on right. Okay, I won't die. I'm ready! Everyone else is excited. This will be so much fun! I can do this!

6. "Wait, I take it back!"

I'm not ready! Take this seat belt off me! Stop the ride!

7. "I TAKE IT BACK! I WANT OUT!"

STOP! GET ME OUT OF THIS RIDE! (SCREAMING BEGINS)

8. I regret this!

WHY DID I LISTEN TO (INSERT NAME HERE)? I HATE RIDES! (SCREAMING CONTINUES)

9. This is it!

THIS IS IT! THIS IS HOW IT ENDS! I'LL DIE IN THIS RIDE! (SCREAMING STILL CONTINUES)

10. It's over!

Phew! I'm glad it's over! That wasn't that bad! I'm ready to get out.

11. Wait, is it going again!

I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN! I SAID I WANT OUT! STOP! STOP! NOOOOO!

12. Too scared to scream anymore

13. It's over, again!

Is it really over?! Please be really over! I have to get out!

14. "It wasn't that bad."

Why was I scared in the first place? It wasn't that bad! I can do anything now!

15. Then everyone suggests to go on another ride

NOOOOOOOOO!




And of course, if you are an adrenaline junkie and love amusement rides this might be you the whole time.

16. WOOOOOOO!

WOOOOO! PUT YOUR ARMS UP! IT MAKES IT MORE FUN!





But remember this next time you go on an amusement ride and are scared: most of us have been through that too. . . and check that you put your seat belt on right!

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.
