The absolute best french fries in the world are sold at Five Guys. Unfortunately, I don't go there very often because they aren't vegetarian-friendly. But they will forever be my favorite place for flavorful, crispy, and salty fries!

2. Penn Station East Coast Subs

These fries are some of the tastiest and most delicious I have ever had. If you like Five Guys fries, you will like the ones from Penn Station East Coast Subs because they are so similar!

3. Steak 'n Shake

If you like large quantities of salty shoestring fries, Steak n' Shake is the way to go!

I love curly fries! They are delicious, and Arby's curly fries are some of the best I have ever had!

As I've already said, I LOVE a good curly fry. While those at Olga's Kitchen aren't nearly as crispy and delicious as the ones from Arby's, they are still amazing enough to earn them 5th place!

6. McDonald's

I love the thinness of McDonald's fries. You get many in a container because they are so tiny. Since the fries are so thin, they can often be a little too soggy, however, which is why McDonald's is ranked at No. 6.

So tater tots are basically french fries in the shape of little round balls. For that reason, the salty Sonic tater tots will get 7th place in my ranking. I have only gotten to enjoy these once, but I would love to go back for more!

8. Burger King

While I love their new vegetarian Whopper, the french fries at Burger King taste a lot like french fries I can order from many locations. Of course, I will still order and enjoy these french fries, but they aren't ones I seek out specifically!

9. Taco Bell

You can never go wrong with an original. #NachoFries

I loved that Taco Bell attempted to branch out with nacho fries. Although I thought the fries they chose were a bit too thick for my liking, I liked that they combined them with nacho cheese sauce! The uniqueness of their fries is what lands Taco Bell in 9th place.

10. Wendy's

In my opinion, the french fries recipe for Wendy's seems to have gone downhill over the years. That being said, they are still delicious and salty french fries. They could not NOT make this list! The cool thing about Wendy's is that they offer french fries with many different toppings!

If you absolutely disagree with me on your favorite brand of french fries, that is totally okay! So long as you keep wanting to eat fries and purchasing them, restaurants will keep selling these delicious treats!

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.
