I Tried Hello Fresh, And Yes, It's Worth The Hype

The food is delicious.

For many months, bloggers and Internet sensations have raved about the food delivery service "Hello Fresh." When a coupon came in the mail, I knew I had to try it out.

Before we begin, my views are my own and I am not affiliated with Hello Fresh. I used this in late February, as a reference date.

For those that don't know, Hello Fresh is a meal delivery service that ships meals right to your door. There is a variety of different plans including a Vegetarian Box, Regular Box, and Family Size. You can choose between $7.49 a serving to $9.99 a serving plus $7 to $8 of shipping. As a college student, it is a lot for a weekly plan but for those who value fresh ingredients and convenience, then this could be good for you.

Personally, I would reserve Hello Fresh as a treat for weeks I'm busy or want to try out new recipes. I love the variety of options — anyone could be happy and choose something they love. The recipes are easy to follow and have pictures so you know what your food should look like. I wish there was a way to customize what sides you get since I got sweet potatoes and I am not a fan of them. The cooking process was fun and my boyfriend even got in on the action. It was so nice to get to cook and do something I love.

The southwest chicken and mashed potatoes with onions were amazing. I wish there were recipes that used simpler cooking materials because you have little cooking tools in college and making the mashed potatoes were difficult, but if I had a masher it would be simpler. The balsamic meatloaf was delicious and the food was truly amazing. The food is delicious and I love how they come in the right portions. They give you exactly what you need and nothing less. Overall, Hello Fresh is a really good service and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new food subscription service.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
