A Definitive Ranking Of Rollercoasters At Cedar Point
WowK

Cedar Point is an amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. Home to 17 rollercoasters and one waterpark off the coast of Lake Erie, this is a go-to place during the summer. Cedar Point holds many records for their rollercoasters and is most likely on the bucket list of many rollercoaster fanatics. I have ridden every coaster in the park, so here is my personal ranking of the rides from worst to best. (I will be ranking 14 roller coasters, since three of the 17 are rides for children.) Head to Cedar Point this summer and experience the thrill of these rollercoasters!

14. The Blue Streak

The Blue Streak is one of the oldest roller coasters at Cedar Point. It's one of the last wooden coasters in the park. This ride hurts. It's super rough and not kind to your body. It does normally have a short wait, so I recommend riding front row if you do decide to ride.

13. Corkscrew

This one is a classic, but extremely short. Not much of a thrill.

12. Cedar Creek Mine Ride

There's always a mine ride at every amusement park. This one is very ragged and slow. You think there's going to be a huge drop, but it never comes.

11. Wicked Twister

I'm sorry, but this ride scares the crap out of me. I always feel like I'm going to die while riding it. It definitely gives you an adrenaline rush from the speech and back-and-forth of the ride. Definitely one for thrills.

10. Iron Dragon

This is a good rollercoaster to ride after you just ate. It has some decent speed, but no insane drops or turns. Also, this is a good coaster for first timers.

9. Rougarou

Expect a headache when you're done riding this one. I personally liked it better as the Mantis, but this is overall very fun and thrilling. It's packed with high speeds, loops, drops, and tight turns and twists.

8. Magnum XL-200

I really like this one, but the safety bar always crushes my thighs, making it a little uncomfortable. If you like multiple hills in a row and the feeling of losing your stomach, this is the perfect coaster for you.

7. Maverick

This rough coaster, in particular, takes you left, right, up, down and upside-down in a matter of seconds. The line for this ride is always long and I don't think it's worth the wait. You should definitely ride this at least once though.

6. Valravn

The best part of this new roller coaster is the first drop. You are suspended at the top of the hill, looking down at the bottom for a few seconds before you go down the hill. This is a very thrilling, smooth ride.

5. Gemini

This is one of my favorites. Another wooden roller coaster, but less rough than the Blue Streak. This ride is quite fast with lots of drops and turns. The best part is there are two tracks for different colors of carts: blue and red. They race beside each other all the way to the end of the track. This one is pretty fun!

4. Top Thrill Dragster

If you love thrills and high speed, this coaster is for you. You basically go straight up and straight down. Always a long wait, but kind of worth it.

3. Gatekeeper

This ride feels like you're flying. I absolutely love it. It's newer and the ride takes you over the front gates, hence the name. It has high speeds and lots of loops.

2. Raptor

This is definitely one of my favorite rides. It's one of the most fun rides there and I could ride it all day and never get bored of it. If you love speed, loops, and twists, this ride is perfect.

1. Millennium Force

This ride is by far the most popular ride at Cedar Point. It's such a smooth ride with two huge hills. You hit top speed while riding this, but it's still such a gentle ride. I recommend this ride to anyone, even if you're scare of roller coasters. It's not as scary as it looks.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
