Do not coast while on a roll like everyone else!

Why We Should Never Ride The Scary Roller Coasters

I love roller coasters. While visiting Six Flags, I rode many roller coasters. I loved the adrenaline rush. Contrary to popular belief, amusement parks do not just feature amusement. They feature a costly entrance fee, long lines, fast food, and everything that could give someone an adrenaline rush.

Yet, there are people who do not ride roller coasters and think that no one should. I thought about their perspective, and I came up with several reasons why we may not want to ride them ever again….

1. We could all die.

The laws of physics that are used when constructing roller coasters may not be true, and we could all die. In fact, roller coasters are made especially as contraptions of death to diminish the size of the population. This is a conspiracy.

2. Safety belts may not actually keep us safe.

Do not be fooled by their name. That is how they are able to exist within society as undetected restrictions of torture. No one ever names anything to acknowledge a purpose or origin. That would actually make sense.

3. Roller coasters expose us to the burning sun.

The sun can also burn people to crisps, so roller coasters expose us to the burning sun to cook us. Roller coasters are the human kebabs with their amusement parks being the human grills.

4. Patience is not a virtue, why wait.

Exercising virtues would only make them more strongly apparent in our characters. Why would anyone want to do that?

5. Why should we know what we are willing to stand (in line) for?

If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything. Why should we stand for a roller coaster when we can easily fall from not facing our fears?

6. What is stamina? We do not need it.

Stamina is a lot like cardio and weight-lifting; no one should ever do it because it would require work and possibly some perspiration.

7. We could be pansies and stay in our flowerbeds instead.

Flowerbeds are safe and secure, and pansies are beautiful flowers. We can be flowers. We can be pansies. We do not need to face our fears because we only need comfort. Fear is good. I know that Yoda said fear is the path to the dark side because it leads to anger, which leads to hate, which leads to suffering. However, he is fictional and therefore only said what someone else wanted him to say. Ethos may not be validation for listening to what someone could say as wisdom, could it?

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.
