Snapchat Discover can be seen as a nuisance or a waste of time. However, there is one particular channel which has captured my heart… and my stomach! Tastemade is an amazing channel and their daily editions are fun and educational. If you are a foodie like myself, then I would suggest watching videos by the following four chefs. They are young, fun, and creative, all qualities reflected in their recipes. Even if you are still using a meal plan, it doesn’t hurt to stock up on some recipes when you have a kitchen of your own. Here is my list of the top four chefs on Tastemade which includes one example recipe!

1. Julie Nolke

Julie is a bubbly and down to earth host who puts spins on Canadian dishes. In addition to making mouth-watering poutines, her segments typically spoof movies and are full of pop-culture references. Her energy and goofy personality bridge the gap between food and fun.

2. Jen Phanomrat

Jen is a close second in my opinion. She makes delicious dishes that fuse her Filipino roots with her own twists. Jen also challenges your taste buds by switching out ingredients in popular recipes. Her smile and humor makes it easy to believe that food brings happiness and comfort. Her catchphrase: “Just eat life” is amazing and once you watch her videos you just might get a tattoo of it.

3. Marcus Meacham

Marcus is the definition of cool. And if you are take pride in your carnivorous diet then his videos are for you. His twists on pulled pork and steak will have you staring at your phone with a fork and knife in your other hand. His fusion recipes create robust flavors and his calm voice shows the relaxing side of cooking.

4. Lazarus Lynch

Lazarus’s food can be best described as elevated comfort food. Many of recipes include jazzed up mac and cheese as well as fritters. The flavor profiles he develops make you ready to dump the boxed stuff in the trash. Known as “Son of a Southern Chef” I think it’s clear that all of us would love to join him at his house.

Snapchat Discover can be pretty lame, but check out Tastemade on Snapchat or online. Enjoy watching these amazing young chefs and I hope they inspire you to explore a better relationship with food!

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.

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.
