King's Island Haunt

 This past weekend I went to Kings Island Amusement Park for their "Haunt". Every year throughout the season of fall leading up to Halloween, Kings Island decorates the whole park and basically makes the entire park a haunted house on the weekends. We get to still ride all of the rides, and there are also haunted houses set up in the park that you can go in. I went with my friends and met up with my family. My stepdad lives in Columbus and Kings Island is a little bit outside of Cincinnati. We left Slippery Rock on Friday after classes and headed to Columbus. We got to my stepdad's house and met my brother and my mom there. We all just hung out there on Friday night, played some games and watched movies. The next morning we all got up and got right on the road to head towards Cincinnati. The park itself is huge and has so many different areas, during the day you can see all of the decor and the feel of halloween. The real beauty of it is at night. At 6pm they have a show where they "release the monsters" into the park. All of these scare actors come out and start walking around the park and scaring people. The whole park gets filled with fog from machines, they turn off most lights and replace them with orange, purple, pink, and blue lights. You can't really see very well, which is kind of the whole point so that way the actors can come out from around a corner, or even just through the fog, and scare you. We all had a lot of fun, we got to ride rides, eat some great food, see some really cool shows, and got a few good scares walking around the park. I would 100% recommend going to it, or something similar. Cedar Point, Kennywood, Hershey Park, and so many other amusement parks do this same thing. It's a great way to get into the Halloween spirit!

    That sounds like such a cool and fun experience. It's really cool that you got to go on rides and also take part in cool halloween themed attractions. It must've been really nice to get to share it with both your friends and family. We have a similar thing back from where I live, it's conneaut lake park and during the last couple weeks leading up to halloween they turn it into "Ghost Lake". Where they also release monsters and creepy people. I really enjoy the scary atmosphere and think it is a fun activity to do with friends and family.

    I've never been to something like this and dang am I jealous. My family loves to do these types of things and you might've just picked what we do around this time next year. I think the whole park looking foggy and hard to see would be really cool to experience in person. Loved reading your blog and sounds like you had a great time.

    Hey Gracie! That sounds like an enjoyable night. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because of the movies and haunted houses. Haunted houses are a lot of fun, especially this one in Erie called Erie Abys. It sounds like so much fun to go to an amusement park during Halloween. Your blog was a great read and sounded very fun.

Incorporating Fitness Into Your Routine as a College Student

 As college students sometimes it's hard to find time to go to the gym with school work, clubs and activities, and some students have jobs. You need to make time dedicated to getting some sort of physical activity to fit into your week. You can wake up earlier in the mornings if you have classes later towards the afternoon. Make sure to plan enough time to get up to be able to do your workout and shower before you have to go to any of your classes. There are plenty of workouts you can do that will only take you an 45 minutes to an hour. You can walk/jog on the treadmill or track for about 10-15 minutes to warm up. Then move into a full body workout in the weight room. I have seen so many workout routine ideas on TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. to help motivate you to get into the gym or even just outside. I have found some great ones that go into detail to help you find a good routine that can fit for you and fitting it in your schedule.

How to use Social Media as a Tool

 Social media can have some very negative effects and has some bad reputations, but that's if you choose to use your social medias in that way. You can use Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. Obviously there are things that are on social media that you cannot avoid, but you can make your explore page or for your page personal to what you want. It's as easy as just looking up in those apps what you want to see. You can look up "healthy recipe ideas for college students?", "how to have a good fitness balance as a college student?", "Workout routines for back and bis", and so many more. The more you like, watch, and click on certain things, eventually the apps will only show you those videos you are interested in.
