Why Universal Studios Is The Top Theme Park

No hate to the big Mouse but I have to be truthful here.

Why Universal Studios Is The Top Theme Park

Listen, I love Disney as much as the next person but Universal is the superior theme park. Not only due to the fact that it is more adult-friendly, but the attractions are so much better. I have been to Disney, Disney Springs, the Disney Store at the mall and none of it compares to the amazing-ness that is Universal Studios.

The theme park takes care to include everyone, instead of for mostly small children and families. Every time I go to Disney, I can feel the stares and the judgments that a young adult is in a place for kids. With Universal, I can run around and have the best day ever and know that so many people are doing the same as me. I can geek out over Harry Potter and Marvel and people won't look at me weird.

Also, did I mention Harry Potter? Oh and Jurrasic Park? But what about the Simpson's? Or Minions? Okay, I know I got you with Shrek, right? There are so many options of where to go and what to see. You could spend hours upon hours just exploring the Universal Studios park alone, and you'd still have Island of Adventure to explore next. The parks are amazingly detailed and if you haven't been yet, trust me when I say that you will want to look at everything there is.

Each part of both parks include some amazing rides, characters, and food to check out. You couldn't possibly be bored at Universal Studios.

I haven't even mentioned City Walk, which is argued to be the best part of the parks. Here you can find some delicious food and even better drinks! It can be on the expensive side, but hey, you only live once right? There's also a big theater, so if you want a break and watch the newest movie, you can absolutely do that.

I love Universal because I don't have to limit myself or wait in ridiculously long lines. Yes, Universal can be crowded, but definitely not as much as other parks. Universal is also inexpensive when buying tickets compared to Disney. For the price of a one day, three-park pass at Disney, I can buy an Annual Pass at Universal and enjoy myself better.

I don't mean for this to be a sponsored or a love letter to the park, but I have a lot of feelings on how people view Universal. It is the best park, so just admit it to yourself and let's go!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
