Netflix

Like everyone else, I spend my summer break from school binge-watching shows on Netflix.

Like every Mexican, I am constantly craving tacos.

What do you do when you combine both? You get Netflix's new documentary "Taco Chronicles" that will satisfy all of your taste buds and also have you craving tacos from a corner in Mexico more than anything.

The episodes range from asada to guisado in its only six episodes. Not only that, but they also take you to different parts of Mexico to learn more about their origin and every episode includes crash courses of how these tacos came to be.

The best thing about the whole show is the narrator's voice. It's not a typical voice perspective that you would hear in any traditional documentary. It is speaking from the point of view of the taco, which just makes you feel that much more connected to it.

A popular taco and episode amongst many is the asada episode that takes you on a trip from Tijuana to Hermosillo to Sonora to Downtown LA. Not only does it talk about the meat, but also the most essential part of every taco, the tortilla.

The series also brings a lot of nostalgia for people like me.

Highlighting tacos you find on a street corner reminds me hitting up taco stands at 2 a.m. with my cousins or friends after a long night out at the town, stuffing our faces with five tacos and a cold soda in a glass bottle. Or the tacos de canasta that you find on a basket attached to the back of a bike that makes a quick breakfast snack as you are walking around Mexico City on a beautiful morning.

There is no doubt that after watching this documentary, you will be left with a desire to make a trip to eat these tacos.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
