Why I Can't Stop Watching Buzzfeed's "Tasty" Videos
Website: http://creativity-online.com/

To the Buzzfeed staff: If you're reading this, please consider this article as my formal application to be the next chef featured in an upcoming "Tasty" video. My infatuation with your videos is the main reason why I still continue to check my Facebook. As of lately, I simply can't scroll through my newsfeed without watching a pair of hands skillfully creating a batch of peanut butter cookie dough bites all in a matter of minutes. The quick cooking has cast a spell on me. Here's why:

1. The organization

As opposed to the inevitable calamity that ensues whenever I try to whip of a batch of chocolate chip cookies, the Tasty videos feature beautiful matching cookware, sparkling countertops, and effortless transitions from one ingredient to the next. Call me crazy, but I find the picture perfect filming of two hands dicing onions or seasoning chicken extremely satisfying.

2. The efficiency

Although my cooking skills are sub-par at best, a girl can still dream! Since most of the videos only average out to be about three minutes long, they give me hope that making such delicious creations should take minimal effort and time on my part.

3. The attention to detail

Whether its bubbling pasta sauce, drizzling carmel, or melting cheese, Tasty always pays attention to the most mouth-watering aspects of every dish. It's a food lovers dream and a dieters worst nightmare.

4. The final product

My favorite moment of every Tasty video is the voice that declares "oh yes!" once the food is prepared indicating that, at last, it's time to dig in. I couldn't even begin to count the number of times I've wished that I was the one eating the cheese-filled tater tots or slow-cooker chocolate lava cake at the end of a given video. To reiterate...Buzzfeed if you need another staff member, I'll happily send in my resume.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
