For a fun summer day.

This past Friday I went to Six Flags Over Texas, and to save you a little time, I thought I would tell you what I believe to be the top eight rides at Six Flags Over Texas.

1. The Riddler Revenge.

This is number one because it is by far my favorite. If you aren't a huge fan of the straight down roller coasters, this might be a good option for you. This ride operates on a kind of pendulum, swinging up and down, and turns you while you swing. I like it because it's more of a slow-paced ride but is still packed with tons of exhilaration.

2. The Titan.


The Titan is one of Six Flags Over Texas's top rides. It features an exhilarating drop and coils that will have you struggling to keep your eyes open. I personally rode this ride three times in a row because I think it is the perfect mixture of exciting and fun.

3. The New Texas Giant.

The Texas Giant is sure to blow your hair back and knock your head around a bit. This ride has an amazing drop coupled with some killer speed that will have you walking around with wind-blown hair all day.

4. Superman Tower of Power.


This ride is also one of my favorites because I've always been a huge fan of rides that get down to the point, and boy does this one. It's 345 feet tall and you drop straight down, so if you're a fan of that tummy-turning feeling but don't really feel like going on a long ride, this is the one for you.

5. Texas SkyScreamer.

This ride is the perfect fit for riding at the end of your long park day with your partner or even a family member. You go all the way up and see an amazing view of the city and get to feel the wind in your hair. P.S. Taking your shoes off to feel the wind in your toes is a definite must with this one.

6. Runaway Mountain.


I love this ride because you never know what is coming next. This whole ride is in complete darkness so you can't see at all, making it super exhilarating. The one downside to this ride is that it doesn't have anywhere to put your belongings. So, if you are like me and carry a lot, you might want to have one person wait and hold everyone's things while you ride.

7. Batman The Ride.


Oh boy is this ride fast. If you love speed, then this is definitely your ride. Of all of the hair-blowing rides, this is definitely the top.

8. MR. FREEZE: Reverse Blast.


Be forewarned: if you do not like rides that go backward, do not ride this. You start off by shooting straight backwards on this loop and then double back going forwards.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
