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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
