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!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
