Seriously, Start Cooking!

Cooking; The Greatest Hobby To Have

Cooking is literally one of my all-time favorite hobbies. Whether it's making a meal, a snack, or even baking a dessert, it's a creative and fun thing to do, especially when your bored.

When I was younger, I always dreamed of being a chef. My family is Italian, so cooking and baking was always a huge thing for my family. Everyone is really good at cooing and everything they made would always receive great compliments. Although my dream of becoming a chef wasn't a real career goal for me, I always enjoyed watching others cook and I even learned a few tricks from my mom or aunt.

When I was 13, my dad and I would always watch cooking shows together. Whether it was "Chopped," "Hell's Kitchen" or "Kitchen Nightmares," we always were so intrigued with the talents of the chef. I always loved Gordon Ramsey, and my dad and I would always try to make some of his recipes whenever we got the chance (his meatballs are amazing, by the way). In high school, I became president of the Culinary Cub, where I would make awesome themed treats from recipes I found online. Although baking wasn't my strong suit, I got the hang of it and my favorite part was always the decorations.

Now as a sophomore in college, I am living in an apartment-style dorm with my own kitchen, and cooking is slowly becoming my favorite thing to do. When I'm not to busy, I love looking at one of the "Tasty" videos on Facebook or turning on the "Food Network" and making whatever I can find. The best part of cooking is having people eat your food! It's great to make a nice meal with friends or family, and sit down and enjoy it. Get cooking; its relaxing, fun, and always delicious!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
