9 Reasons Why Coney Islands Are Hands Down The Best
Detroit's Coney Island

As many of you know, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I would even argue that this is the most important meal of the day, especially if I am at home on a Saturday morning when my dad is cooking. Eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes - all of it. When I’m not at home, most Saturday mornings if I am not cooking breakfast for myself, you can find me at a Coney Island. That being said, here are 9 reasons why Coney Islands are the best.

1. ALL HAIL THE ALL DAY BREAKFAST

This is my favorite thing. Breakfast is the best meal, so do not fight me on this. From eggs to biscuits (and my personal favorite: French toast), they are all covered by the island. Whether you’re there to cure a hangover or to eat all day breakfast-y goodness at 9pm, they are always there for you. I would even argue that this is more groundbreaking than McDonald's all day breakfast.

2. Coney dogs

They're my dad’s personal favorite and the real reason Coney Islands exist. Also, let’s be real, you can’t get any more Michigan than a Koegel's hot dog with all of the coney fixins.

3. Pancakes

Coney Island's pancakes are almost as good as my the ones my dad makes (almost). To me, pancakes are really just vehicles for syrup and butter, and they're by far in my top three breakfast foods.

4. Endless coffee

I am a total caffeine junkie. Conies help to fuel this by giving me practically bottomless cups of coffee (OH HAPPY DAYS).

5. Sausage links

Not patties. Unpopular opinion: links are better. Do not challenge me on this or tell me they’re bad for my health.

6. Most are open 24/7

So for all of you students that know what goes down on the weekends, you know how awesome this is.

7. FRENCH TOAST

Let me put it straight to you: French Toast is my favorite breakfast food. Put some strawberries and/or peaches on it and I’m the happiest person in the world. According to one of my friends, when the waitress gives me French Toast, I look like a kid on Christmas.

8. How can you not like diners?

The cute booths, yummy food, good coffee, and, if you play your cards right, great friends. Also, some of them play country music and Motown, which brings me to my next point.

9. Pure Michigan

Coney Islands are as Pure Michigan as you can get. With the Motown playing in the background, Coney dogs, an all-day breakfast on the table, and great friends around it, you won’t want to miss out on these Michigan classics.

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.
