I kinda wish I watched my parents cook when I was little because now I need to learn how not to starve to death while I'm in college. Here are the 10 basic steps one goes through when they cook for the first time:
1. Watch a cooking video

2. Get hungry and inspired to recreate it

3. Buy all the ingredients (even if you only need a teeny tiny teaspoon)

4. Act hastily, and cut your finger with a knife

5. Call your mom for help, as you bandage your finger

6. Feel regret for trying to cook when you can’t do jack

7. Call your mom for help (again) to check if the meat is thoroughly cooked so I don’t get salmonella

9. Take a picture of your food (pics or it didn’t happen)

10. Be proud of yourself for taking the next step in adulting

Thankfully, no major organs and no other persons were damaged in this process. Off to the next recipe...
