Taco Bell

Why is fast food so bad for you? It's really not fair. There are so many advantages to fast food chains. I think that someone should introduce a healthy fast food restaurant.

First of all, even though we don't like to admit it, we all love fast food. The food is fast (duh- just look at the title), the food tastes good, and there is a lot of variety. I have tried to cut back on unhealthy eating habits since I have moved away from home, but sometimes it seems impossible.

Fast food chains are everywhere, and they are open late. That is an advantage here in Mequon where nothing seems to be open past 8. Another bonus is that the food is cheap which is great for a poor college student like me.

I think that a healthy fastfood restaurant would be a great investment. I realize that many fast food chains now are trying to be healthier- but let's face it- who actually goes to McDonald's to order a salad? The sad truth is that they are failing miserably. I think that if a fast food restaurant opened that was known for it's healthy, tasty, cheap food that business would be great.

The Upcoming Summer

It is hard for me to believe that it is already May. I think that it's because this is the first spring that I have spent away from home and the weather on the lake is much cooler than in my hometown. I can't wait to pack up and go home for the summer though!

I feel so ready to be done with school that it is hard for me to remember what it was like in high school at this time, knowing that I had another full month of school left. However, that last month was always full of fun, especially senior year. There was prom to look forward to, graduation, graduation parties, and skip days to Cedar Point.

I'm looking forward to this summer as usual, but I know it won't be as fun as past summers. I will be spending most of my time at Dairy Queen (unfortunately I couldn't find a better job in Macomb County's struggling economy) and in class- calculus actually. Sounds fun, right? I also won't be skating this summer like I have for the last 14 years which will be tough on me, but I had to quit when I moved away for school.

I don't want to sound like a Debbie Downer though. I am definitely looking forward to reconnecting with friends and co-workers that I haven't seen this year. I can't wait for the warm weather and our annual family vacation. And i am definitely looking forward to visiting my friends that I have met here this year!
