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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
