Why Are We Obsessed With Reality Cooking Shows?

Just think of Gordon Ramsey, and you will always be entertained even while eating less-than-appetizing food.

Why Are We Obsessed With Reality Cooking Shows?

Reality cooking shows are extremely popular and have been for well over a decade; but why? What makes them so addicting? Whether it be chopped or Top Chef, watching people use spices that we can't pronounce to make dishes we can't make recreate couldn't possibly be the only reason why people tune in... So why else do people watch?

Competition

I don’t know why, but there is nothing more satisfying than watching a timed cooking show. You feel as if you could possibly do the same as some of these professional chefs who have cooking for years.

The Drama

It’s fascinating to see the amount of drama that occurs on a cooking show. This guy cuts his finger! That girl is crushing on a guy that she is competing with. If you ever want to see some drama, I remember that the earlier Top Chef’s seasons were full of drama if you ever are bored.

The Food

Honestly, watching the food they make is one of my favorites. The food looks delicious and so well-made that you get both ideas and motivated by the people and the food they make. But seriously, you kind of want to eat all their food. But even if the food sucks, it’s entertaining (more drama!).

The People

Like any reality show, it is always fun to have your favorites. The people always make the show by their witty lines or personality. It would not be half as entertaining if you did not get slightly attached to certain people on each episode or season.

The Judges

The Judges, famous in the culinary world, know their stuff. Although it is always nice to hear things about their food, the judges are the most entertaining when they think the food is not as good. Just think of Gordon Ramsey, and you will always be entertained even while eating less-than-appetizing food.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
