Why Brunch Is The Only Meal You Will Ever Need

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner: the three meals society has given us to eat everyday. However, what about the elusive Sunday Brunch. It seems that we are allowed to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday, but brunch is only allowed on Sundays. This a travesty for the stomachs and hearts of people across the globe. It is time for brunch to be a generally accepted meal, and not just a weekend treat.

Brunch is great because it combines the importance of breakfast with the camaraderie of lunch. With brunch you are able to order a nutritious and balanced breakfast meal but enjoy it in a more social setting.

Brunch eliminates the crack-of-dawn breakfast blues. Waking up early is never fun, but then waking up early to eat just puts a damper on a delicious meal. By replacing an early breakfast for a slightly later brunch, you can eliminate both of these issues. A 10:30 a.m. brunch is perfect because you can catch a few extra Z's and be happy to eat a delicious meal.

Brunch also is great because it is not a locked in menu of specified foods. Often times at lunch you will get a funny look or simply will not be able to order eggs, and at breakfast, it is nearly impossible to order a side of french fries. With brunch you can order both, and it is totally acceptable.

For the 21-and-older crowd brunch is also an excuse to indulge in a delicious adult beverage. It isn't the time to order a round of tequila shots; however, a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice with a splash of champagne is a delicious brunch cocktail.

Brunch is an overall great meal, and truly the only meal you will ever need. It allows for a great menu and awesome excuse to visit with friends. #brunchisbest

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.
