The Midwest is a special place. We love our sports, we love the Great Lakes, we love to respond to any situation with a resounding 'ope.' Another thing we love? Our food. Here are just some of our midwestern fan favorites.

1. Ranch

The king of condiments that pairs with just about everything.

2. Velveeta Cheese

The ultimate melting cheese, perfect for dips.

3. Or any cheese in general tbh

Thank you, Wisconsin.

4. Buffalo Chicken Dip

Combine those listed above with shredded chicken and you have perfection.

5. Chicken strips or nuggets

Probably dipped in ranch.

6. Corn

If you're surrounded by it, why not eat it?

7. Puppy Chow

No, I'm not talking about what you feed your dog.

8. Hamburgers, hot dogs and bratwurst

Famous at ballparks, diners and backyard cookouts alike.

9. Cincinnati style chili

10. Beer

Nectar of the gods.

11. Food that is cooked and/or soaked in beer.

Beer bratwurst, anyone?

12. Beer Cheese Soup

Combining the best of both worlds.

13. Ketchup

If it's not dipped in ranch, it's probably dipped in ranch.

14. Donuts

A good donut shop can be a towns claim to fame.

15. Buckeyes

I don't mean the nut, I mean the delicious candy.

16. Anything deep fried or on a stick

Just walk around any state or county fair and see what you can find.

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.
