2017 McDonald's Vs. 1999 McDonald's

Growing up a '90s child I think everyone can agree that it was a treat to have McDonald's for lunch or dinner. Nowadays for kids it seems like a weekly occurrence due to how our society has developed. Over the years McDonald's has changed and some of these changes are annoying.

Happy Meal--I mean we all still want to be a kid once in a while:

1999-

Entree: Chicken Nuggets, Hamburger or Cheeseburgers

Sides: Fries

Drinks: Small Soda

Extras: Cookie package & gender neutral toy $1.75

2017-

Entree: 4 or 6 piece Chicken Nuggets, Single Hamburger, Double Hamburger, Single Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger

Sides: Cutie Orange, Yogurt, Apple Slices

Drinks: Small Soda (Extra Charge), Apple Juice, Chocolate Milk or White Milk

Extras: Tiny french fry pouch with every meal, boy or girl toy for nearly $4.80

Portion Size & Price--College students don't have a lot of money but are still hungry:

Yes, obesity is an issue and cutting back on portion sizes is helpful to limiting the problem but to end up paying around $2 for a yogurt parfait that can be consumed in one spoonful when they used to be tripled the current size for less than $1!

But, I do think we all can agree that the All-Day Breakfast Menu was a genius idea, now can they just have Shamrock shakes year round?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
