"I'm fat," I state, as I look at my stomach in the mirror.

My friend encourages me. "You're fat and what?" he asks. "Spherical?" "No, proud!" he exclaims.

"I'm fat and I'm proud," I announce.

"Louder!" he screams.

"I'm fat and I'm proud. I'm fat and I am proud!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

Sometimes it pays off to be fat. When you hear the word food, your eyes roll to the back of your head and your salivation increases. "Where is the donut?" you ask your friend. Any opportunity is an opportunity to eat. Now what if I said, "Free food." What would you do for a Klondike bar? Now what would you do for a free Klondike bar?

I did my research for all of you and you better be appreciative. Everyone knows about free pancake day at I-HOP. I thought to myself, "What if there are more days like that with bigger and better foods for free?" So I scavenged for as much info as I could find. I've compiled a list of days this year you, yes you, can get free food!

1. National Pretzel Day (April 26)

OK, so I'm cheating here (I'm not talking abut my diet), but in the past Auntie Anne's has given away pretzels for a dollar. I know I'm stretching it here, but I thought I'd start with the crappiest deals and go for the absolute free ones in the end.

2. First Day of Spring (March 20)

So this is today, but Rita's Italian Ice is giving away free cups of ice for anyone who shows up. And no one's stopping you from going five times the same day.

3. April 15th

So like, there's tax freebies on April 15th. Free Cinnabon bites at Cinnabon, free curly fries at Arby's and free small popcorn at AMC.

4. National Donut Day

On the first Friday in June, Krispy Kreme will give out free donuts. So go back 20 times and save up for the summer.

5. Cow Appreciation Day (July 11th)

OK, so is this real because I don't know. Apparently Chick-fil-A gives away free food if you dress like a cow. I'm ordering a cow costume online right now.

6. Halloween

We all know the four dollar burritos you get if you dress up at Chipotle Mexican Grill, but Krispy Kreme is giving away free donuts again for those who dress up. To be honest, just walk into every restaurant you think will give you something because maybe they will.

7. National Cookie Day (Dec. 4th)

Quiznos gives away free cookies. Mark it down.

OK, so this was really hard to do. Apparently in 2016, everyone is cheap. I remember the days when things were actually free. Now no one can even give away a free single french fry. I mean, if you really want free cake or ice cream, then just tell the restaurant it's your birthday. You might still have to pay for it though.

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.
