If there is any one thing that all human beings love, it's food. Whether it be dessert, brunch or lunch, everyone has their favorite meal and their favorite food. If everyone has their favorite food choices, they likely have a favorite restaurant as well! So, I took to my EIC Squad GroupMe (#SLAYY) and asked everyone involved what their favorite restaurants are. I knew I would get some diverse responses because all of us are from different states in different areas of the country! I even chipped in a few of my favorites based on places I've traveled to in the last five years or so! Here are our recommendations!


1. Waffle House in Wetumpka, Alabama

This recommendation was given by my fabulous Contributing Editor Alex. He said "They have the best hashbrown platter!" He also thinks this is a great restaurant for those nights when writer's block hits you during an all-nighter. I don't go to Waffle House that much, personally. But, if it's good for all-nighters, I may have to start going. :)

2. Boll Weevil Cafe and Sweetery in Augusta, Georgia


This recommendation was given by Will McCoy! He said "They have the best desserts in all of Augusta!" I could go for some desserts right now! Maybe a slice of chocolate pie or some cheesecake. The Yelp reviews are good for the most part with their desserts. However, with their regular food, the reviews were mixed and the negative ones consisted of seemingly bad service and apparently less than stellar tasting food. If I'm ever in the area, I'll probably give this place a try!

3. Hamburg Hot Bagels in Hamburg, New Jersey

This recommendation was given by Amanda! This restaurant is unique to Hamburg and seems really cozy just from looking at this picture. According to Amanda, "they have the best ham, egg and cheese bagels ever!" I love bagels. I just may have to take a special trip soon.

4. Bayside American Cafe in Portland, Maine.

This recommendation was given by Ashley! She said that this restaurant has the best brunch in Portland, Maine! *cue the heart eyes emoji* By the looks of this picture, I think she's right. Honestly, I would probably eat everything on this plate in less than 15 minutes because this looks so good!! I've actually never been to this part of the country before but now I have a reason! Road trip anyone??

5. Ellen's Stardust Diner in New York City

Y'all. This restaurant is THE best. I went here the summer before my senior year of high school and all I can say is WOW. Seriously, if you ever find yourself in New York go here for lunch or dinner! It's such a fun place to be. There's a great atmosphere and great food. If you've ever been there, you know that every waiter and waitress goes around the restaurant dancing and singing and getting the people dining there to join in! It's seriously like getting a two for one deal: dinner and a show! Anyway, if you live in New York and haven't been here, have you really been living in New York. You won't regret going!

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.
