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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
