I Have An Obsession With The Tasty Videos On Facebook

Food that'll make you close your eyes, lean back, and whisper "yessss."

I Have An Obsession With The Tasty Videos On Facebook

If you are a regular Facebook user then most likely you have scrolled through your feed and videos of food will come up. It doesn't matter if you just ate the largest meal in your life, you will still immediately want the dish or whatever was just made on the video. One of the most popular short clips of various foods and meals was created by the millennial generation's unspoken BFF... Buzzfeed. Bless Buzzfeed for keeping us up to date about current events, celebrities, fun quizzes and now some yummy food with Tasty.

Described as, "Food that'll make you close your eyes, lean back, and whisper "yessss," Snack-sized videos and recipes you'll want to try", Tasty changes the Facebook game (or at least to me). Sometimes I will only go on Facebook to see if they have put any new videos up and its always an exciting feeling when you realize, yes they did (wow, I think I need a new hobby). Now I would like to acknowledge the most important job of these videos: the person who gets to take the one bite of the finished project is the person I want to be. You are the one that gets to try any and everything that is made. Imagine on your resume, "professional snacker and eater"; you'd be set for any job afterwards.

Now you have to be careful about when you look up Tasty on Facebook because most likely you will end up on Facebook for hours just watching these videos and then find yourself starving at 2 a.m. (I'm not talking from personal experience or anything...). The range of food that is made can be sweet or savory; easy or complicated; fast or slow cooking; and yet each one makes you think, "ya I can definitely make that". Who knows if you actually can, but you still go out to the store the next day to buy all the ingredients.

I have personally never made any of the recipes that I have watched, which is shameful since I have probably watched every Tasty video ever made. However, I do know someone who has. My best friend, the person who got me started on the Tasty kick by tagging me in a video on one fateful day, has actually made some of the recipes and boy, they turn out in real life just as good as the videos. Granted, she has only done the relatively simple ones, but regardless it didn't turn out like an infamous "Pinterest Fail".

Buzzfeed really out did themselves when they came up with Tasty, with over 50 million people who have liked it on Facebook, the amount of food that has been watched and hopefully made is infinite. I promise that one day soon I will make one of the recipes, but until then I'll just keep my long grocery shopping list handy.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
