"Mom can I have a Happy Meal?"

2017 McDonald's Vs. 1999 McDonald's

Growing up a '90s child I think everyone can agree that it was a treat to have McDonald's for lunch or dinner. Nowadays for kids it seems like a weekly occurrence due to how our society has developed. Over the years McDonald's has changed and some of these changes are annoying.

Happy Meal--I mean we all still want to be a kid once in a while:

1999-

Entree: Chicken Nuggets, Hamburger or Cheeseburgers

Sides: Fries

Drinks: Small Soda

Extras: Cookie package & gender neutral toy $1.75

2017-

Entree: 4 or 6 piece Chicken Nuggets, Single Hamburger, Double Hamburger, Single Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger

Sides: Cutie Orange, Yogurt, Apple Slices

Drinks: Small Soda (Extra Charge), Apple Juice, Chocolate Milk or White Milk

Extras: Tiny french fry pouch with every meal, boy or girl toy for nearly $4.80

Portion Size & Price--College students don't have a lot of money but are still hungry:

Yes, obesity is an issue and cutting back on portion sizes is helpful to limiting the problem but to end up paying around $2 for a yogurt parfait that can be consumed in one spoonful when they used to be tripled the current size for less than $1!

But, I do think we all can agree that the All-Day Breakfast Menu was a genius idea, now can they just have Shamrock shakes year round?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
