My sister, the Rose Queen
This wasn’t just any ordinary Sunday morning. My older sister, Irene, shook my shoulder to wake me up. “C’mon, it’s about to start!” she yelled. It was New Year’s Day, and six-year-old me finally relented and got out of bed. I joined her and the rest of my family to watch the Rose Parade. As we watched, she was fixated on one person in particular: the Rose Queen. We both watched in awe as the Rose Court waved royally to the stands. “That’s going to be me one day,” Irene said

Six flags: X2 the fun or X2 the injuries?
Artist: Kree Keltner Described as "A rite of passage for the ultimate daredevil,” this fourth-dimension wing roller coaster will have even the most hardened thrill seeker screaming. To the average person, this coaster sounds pretty fun, but when researched further, many unanswered questions remain. On July 5, 2026 Pamela Guillien, a 40 year old, had high hopes for this ride alongside many eager patrons. Before she could even say subdural hematoma, she passed out when she ste
