McDos
McDonald’s always has a different menu depending on what region you’re in. And all the different names it has too. So if I say Maccies I mean UK McDonald’s and McDo is the French McDonalds. McDo feels a lot more fancy. When I hear people talk about McDonald’s here, they never call it McDonalds. I always hear them say McDo. McDonald’s in France probably gets a special mention in pop culture thanks to Vincent Vegas in Pulp Fiction. The first meal on my Paris trip was the McChevre (goats cheese) wrap, green tea and macaroons.

Navigating Seasonal Stress
A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. - Aesop The holiday season, often portrayed as a time of joy and celebration, can paradoxically be a period of significant stress and anxiety for many individuals. This type of anxiety is distinct in that it is closely tied to the social, cultural, and personal expectations and activities associated with holidays. The convergence of social, financial, and personal expectations during this time can exacerbate feelings of anxiety, making what is meant to be a festive time a period of unease and stress for some.
