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.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with.
