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!

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.
