Best Junk Food To Eat When You're Stressed

Let's face it, sometimes life gets waayyy too stressful and the only way to cope is to sit in front of the TV, watch some Netflix and eat everything in sight. But some junk food is much better than others. Here is my list of the best junk food to eat when you're stressed.

10. Gummy Bears

I tried to do that whole "put a gummy on a page of reading" thing, and I just ended up eating all the gummy bears and not doing the reading...

9. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

A delicious blend of chocolate and peanut butter. My only issue with them is that they are very hard to ingest in large amounts, since there's only like two in a pack. Come on?!

8. Carton of Ben and Jerry's

Not just for bad break ups or bad PMS. Take your pick of the insane amount of flavor options, grab a spoon and eat your carton while you stress about life, and graduation, and becoming an adult. And about that bad break up.

7. Doritos

Delicious nacho cheese understands. Delicious nacho cheese doesn't judge you. Delicious nacho cheese just makes your fingers cheesy. It could be worse.

5. Oreo Cookies

Delicious on their own, but even more delicious when dunked in a cold glass of milk.

4. Pretzels

Warm, soft, salty, crunchy or chocolate covered. So many pretzels, so little time. Just don't mind the crumbs.

3. Pizza

It delivers. What more could you ask for?

2. Thin Mints

Buy in bulk during Cookie Season, place in your freezer, and eat a whole sleeve during finals. I see no problem with that plan.

1. Sour Cream and Onion potato chips

Truly a gift from the gods. Nothing is better than diving into a bag of these while your procrastinating on Pinterest or Tumblr and not writing that 5 page paper.

Go ahead, I know you want to. You've had a rough week. Eat away my friend, eat away.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
