11 Reasons You Should Eat At McDonald's Occasionally
We Heart It

When I was younger, I used to eat at McDonald's all of the time, but when I started to eat healthier about 4ish years ago, I pledged off of the place forever... until a few weeks ago. It was super late at night, my girlfriend and I were super hungry, so we begrudgingly went to the McDonald's right down the road from our house and have been back four or five times since then. It made me remember how great some of their food is (most of which is listed below in no particular order), and I only regretted some of it!

1. The fries

Golden delicious, fried to perfection, salty sticks of deliciousness that have little to know competition.

2. The Big Macs

I did get caught up in the huge money-grab that is the "limited time" Grand Mac and Mac Jr. sandwiches plainly because Big Macs are just really freaking good, no matter their size.

3. The "Special" Big Mac Sauce

I wanted to highlight this separately because it's just so damn good. Ordering it on the side to dip your fries in is so the move, and I read that they're going to start selling the sauce by the bottle. SCORE!

4. The McFlurry


Whether you get M&Ms or Oreos in it or just have it plain, this ice cream concoction is often worth the wait, unless the machine is broken. P.S. the spoon-straw hybrid that they serve it with isn't actually a straw at all... They connect that to the mixer machine to blend the McFlurry or something. The More You Know.

5. The Coca-Cola

Have you guys ever noticed that the Coke is just better at McDonald's than anywhere else, even compared to bottles of Coke? Like is it something that they do with the flavoring syrup, do they add extra carbonation somehow, or what??

6. THE HASH BROWNS

Now that breakfast is served all day at McDonald's you can enjoy these uncomfortably delicious potato treats ANYtime!!!

7. The hotcakes

Wow, where do I even being with these things. They are just SO. GOOD. So light and fluffy and they absorb the fantastic, sugary syrup so well. DELISH.

8. The McGriddle

What you get as the filling of the sandwich is kind of irrelevant because al that matters are the two mind-blowingly tasty pancake-like sandwich ends that have little syrup pockets backed into them?? Ingenious.

9. The chicken options

All of the chicken meals at McDonald's are honestly really tasty. Fried, grilled, or spicy, you really can't go wrong, except for the McChicken and the McNuggets (yeah, I said it. SUE ME.).

10. The toys

I know this isn't something you eat, but it is sometimes worth the trip just for the toy. I still have a few of them that I got when I was a kid laying around my mom's house. I can't bring myself to throw them away because they are honestly really cool. Remember when they gave away little handheld video games? Or those really nicely made, glass "Shrek 3" cups (that you had to pay a little extra for but were totally worth it). I've heard that they recently had a talking Minions toy that sounds like it's saying the F-word when you push the button. Unplanned Comedy Gold.

11. The fries... again

The fries are just... really good. No more explanation is necessary but another gif is. You're welcome.

Now, I know you want to immediately go out to your local McDonald's and grab all of these delicious things, but try to pace yourself. They still aren't the healthiest or best place out their to eat at. I just don't like that some people just won't eat at McDonald's because they think that they're better than that. It's just food, guys, and pretty good food at that. No need to get elitist about this too. However, with all of that said, don't let the guy from "Super Size Me" be your food role model.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.

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.
