1. Marty's

Marty’s in a cute home-towny bar that’s downtown. For $7.99 you get a steak, salad, and side. The drinks are also cheap, which is a huge bonus.

If you’re like me, and don’t love steak, their Reuben’s are the bessssst. Fried pickles, and fries there are on my fav’s list if you’re only looking for a study break snack.


2. Freddy's

This one probably isn’t your best option if you don’t have a car here, since it’s a 5 minute drive from north campus, but Freddy’s is the Mount Pleasant home-town version of an Applebee’s.

They have killer burgers, turkey Rueben’s (I’m sure you can tell by now what my favorite food are), and sandwiches.

Freddy’s servers are super quick, and always friendly. Their fried mushrooms & fried pickles are favorites in our apartment.

Bonus: Carryout is available.


3. Shin's

If you go to CMU and haven’t been to Shin’s we cant be friends. Shin’s is authentic Korean food, and they have a great sized menu’s. Located across from insomnia cookies, they’re definitely close to campus.

Carryout is available, but I totally recommend taking the time to go in. Their workers are super friendly, and if you’ve never tried Korean food before, they’ll help you decide on something you’ll love.



4. Dog Central

Dog Central has a hotdog for literally everyone. Don’t like hot dogs? They’ll give you a bun and toppings. Mac and cheese, BBQ, Chicago dogs, chili dogs, PB dogs? Yup, just go try it for yourself.

Pro Tip: $5 for a drink, whatever dog you want, and a heap of fries on Tuesdays.

Bonus: You can carryout their Tuesday night deal, and we do it pretty often in our apartment, since we all love it.



5. The Diner

If you’ve ever tried to eat at the IHOP here you know you’re battling casino go-ers, townies, and literally every freshman who has a car.

It gets better than IHOP my friends. Pancakes, Hash browns, Waffles, Eggs, Bacon.. and it taste’s better than what I can make (which isn’t saying much).

My favorite part about the Diner is they always treat you like you’re their most important customer. They’re always busy, but its totally worth the 5 minute wait to get a table. It’s 100 times better than fast-food breakfast, and you’ll be in and out in under an hour.

Plus, who doesn’t love a homemade tasting breakfast, right before finals?

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.
