Four Reasons You Should Be Watching Food Network Right Now
Variety

There are some pretty great television channels out there with a lot of fun and interesting shows, but Food Network is arguably the best. Between the regular cooking shows, the cooking competition shows, the baking shows, and the baking competition shows there’s something for basically everyone. Here are four reasons you should be watching Food Network basically all the time.

1. You might actually learn how to cook something

Like I said, there are a lot of cooking shows. Which makes sense, since it is a channel all about food. Until about two or three in the afternoon, Food Network's strictly cooking shows like, “Barefoot Contessa,” hosted by former White House nuclear policy analyst, Ina Garten, or “Giada at Home” hosted by, Giada De Laurentiis. Who knows, even “Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives” hosted by Guy Fieri might actually teach you something.

2. You’ll get super invested in the competition shows

Everyone likes a good competition show. Between “Chopped” (and all of its variations like “Chopped Canada” or “Chopped Junior”), “Cutthroat Kitchen”, “Beat Bobby Flay”, “Cake Wars”, and the “Kid’s Baking Championship” there’s always something great to watch. Honestly, my favorite is “Cutthroat Kitchen” because the sabotages are completely insane, but seeing someone overcome all of the madness thrown at them and actually come out with a meal is always great. And who couldn’t love the “Kid’s Baking Championship”? I mean really, what’s better than watching a bunch of kids who are better bakers than you could ever hope to be make some amazing desserts?

3. The judges and the hosts

This is particularly true of the competition shows like “Chopped” and “Cutthroat Kitchen,” but really all of the Food Network shows have amazing hosts and judges. The judges always have the best reactions to kitchen disasters and Ted Allen is probably my favorite TV host ever on “Chopped” while Alton Brown is the king of food puns on “Cutthroat Kitchen.”

4. The holiday shows

I’m a sucker for holiday themed shows. Between all of the fun Halloween and Christmas themed shows, I get sucked into watching Food Network for ages. But those aren’t the only holidays that have special shows and episodes, there are specials for a lot of major holidays. And they’re so much fun to watch because they’re always so crazy. My favorite is “Halloween Wars” where six teams battle it out to see who can make the best creation. Each team consists of a master pumpkin carver, a cake artist, and a sugar artist and the creations that they make every week are amazing. But I also love the “Holiday Baking Championship” where nine bakers compete for the grand prize of $50,000.

These are just a few of the reasons that I love Food Network. There’s always something entertaining to watch and the competition shows will totally suck you in. Also, I really can resist a good holiday special. Especially not when there’s food involved.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
