A Love Letter To McDonald's
Wikipedia

Dear McDonald's,

Let me be frank: I love you. I'm in love with you.

I love your $1 drinks. I love your beautiful chicken nuggets. I love the way your fries are salted perfectly.

Every time I drive by, I can't help but get a McFlurry. And a shake. And a large Dr. Pepper. And a burger and a fry. I love every part about you. Everything about you is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed.

I can't lie to you. My day isn't complete until I go to you and splurge. I think I'm addicted to you, McDonald's. I can't imagine my life without you, and I think about you nearly every time I am hungry—which is always. You are my fatty soulmate.

I know you're bad for me, but I can't help myself. You're so tempting, and every college kid's dream: cheap and delicious. I just want you all to myself, forever and always.

I don't know what I would do without your pancakes at midnight. I don't know what I would do without your $1 ice cream cones. I don't know what I would do without you, McDonald's. You are the one for me. If I could marry you, I would in a heartbeat. You've clogged my arteries with love.

You're the Noah to my Allie, the Ron to my Hermione, and the Mr. Darcy to my Elizabeth.

You're my better half, McDonald's. I know I've cheated on you with Taco Bell. Please, please forgive me. They don't understand me like you do. They don't even have Dr. Pepper. Who doesn't have Dr. Pepper?

But you do. You're always there for me. Whether I need caffeine or a quick lunch or some ice cream after a bad day, you're always there. You're so good to me, McDonald's. I don't know what I would do without you. You are the first thing on my mind in the morning, and the last thing I think about before I go to bed at night. I see your golden arches and my heart flutters.

Every time I see you, I fall in love again. Every time you come out with a new menu item, I feel joy. You bring me joy, McDonald's. I love you. When I first met you, I had no idea how much you could possibly mean to me. I hope you know now: I will love you endlessly.

All my love,

Gretchen

P.S. I'm lovin' it

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.
