10 Weirdest Fast Food Chain Collaborations Of All Time

While many major fast food chains do a substantial job at marketing themselves to customers all on their own, it's always a fun and attention-grabbing way to reel in new faces by teaming up with another brand. And some of these joint efforts just make sense. Just take a look at the 2024 Wendy's and SpongeBob SquarePants collab as an example. What else but a burger chain to bring the famous Krabby Patty to life? But other times, fast food establishments partner up with a name that leaves the public scratching their heads instead.

10 Costco Food Court Items From Around The World

Costco isn't just known for its wonderfully affordable big-box products. Even with aisles of frozen items to stock up on and mountains of home goods to sift through, you'll still find just as many shoppers gathered around the company's iconic food court. It's there that customers will find quick snacks to fuel their errand run, refreshing beverages to keep them motivated throughout, and full meals to reward themselves afterward for successfully finding all the goods on their checklist. Costco is home to some pretty popular, inexpensive menu items after all.

What Lent 2023 Brought Me

While I’ll always love Christmas lights, Valentine’s chocolates and Halloween pumpkins, nothing trumps the excitement I feel for the stuffed plastic eggs and pastel-colored candies that come with Easter. Easter has always held a special place in my heart, with the holiday itself and the spring season symbolizing growth and joy. This current Lenten season has presented itself to be very different compared to past years, though. It’s been full of a lot of goals related to prayer, painful awareness...

Paterson principal Felisa Van Liew retiring after 52-year career in education

Felisa Van Liew recalled a question posed years ago by her predecessor as principal at School 2. “If all the good people leave Paterson, who’s going to take care of the Paterson children?” asked Lynn Liptak, the former principal.

Those words proved inspirational for Van Liew, who is retiring this month after a 52-year career as an educator in Paterson.

During one of her last Mondays on the job, Van Liew allowed a reporter to watch her day unfold. The leader of a school with about 6...

'Look Who's Coming to Dinner' Invites Audiences To Look Around the Table

“Look Who’s Coming to Dinner,” a dance-theater production that took place from Nov. 4 to Nov. 7 at Montclair State University’s Alexander Kasser Theater, with choreography, installation and direction by Stefanie Batten Bland, paid tribute to the ideas of love and acceptance presented in the 1967 film it drew inspiration from, “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”
While there is no linear plot to the performance, “Look Who’s Coming to Dinner” follows similar ideas to the original film, which tells the...

Timeless Classic 'Cinderella' Receives a Modern Update

Amazon Prime Video closed out summer on Sept. 3 with the release of the musical film “Cinderella,” an anticipated remake of the Disney film of the same namesake, though the title may be all the two share.
Still loosely following along with the original plot, viewers can expect to see the core elements that defined the 1950 version the first time around: an overworked daughter, her less-than-considerate stepmother and stepsisters, mice turned into footmen, a glass slipper and a clock that strikes...

Joining the #Stopasianhate Movement

Good American. Model Minority. Condescending terms meant to praise and motivate Asian Americans in the 50s and 60s to become as Americanized as possible, never complaining and never using their culture as a primary means of identifying themselves. Sad as it is, even as a proud Filipino/Chinese American, I hadn’t heard these expressions until just recently. That’s because most of the Asian community’s oppression and monumental contributions to the development of America have been deliberately era...

Lollipop Moments: Why You’re Already a Leader

As a recently declared social work minor, there’s a phrase I’ve heard time and time again in the lineup of my minor’s required courses: change agent. To be in a minor that teaches me I have not only the capability but the responsibility, to be a change agent in the world is uplifting and empowering. But after only a semester of taking a mix of advocacy classes and general social work classes, I’ve come to realize it shouldn’t take being a social work minor to feel as though you have the power to...

The Simplicity Of 'If Anything Happens I Love You' Delivers a Complex Message

The past year has in no way fallen short of division in politics or challenges to health and safety, and Netflix reiterates that in its newest animated short film.
“If Anything Happens I Love You” achieves what many two-hour-long films strive to do, in just 12 minutes and without a single word being spoken. Released Nov. 20, the short film drives home the prominent social issue of gun violence and evokes emotion in its viewers.
Beautifully written and directed by Will McCormack and Michael Govie...
