I Have An Obsession With The Tasty Videos On Facebook

Food that'll make you close your eyes, lean back, and whisper "yessss."

I Have An Obsession With The Tasty Videos On Facebook

If you are a regular Facebook user then most likely you have scrolled through your feed and videos of food will come up. It doesn't matter if you just ate the largest meal in your life, you will still immediately want the dish or whatever was just made on the video. One of the most popular short clips of various foods and meals was created by the millennial generation's unspoken BFF... Buzzfeed. Bless Buzzfeed for keeping us up to date about current events, celebrities, fun quizzes and now some yummy food with Tasty.

Described as, "Food that'll make you close your eyes, lean back, and whisper "yessss," Snack-sized videos and recipes you'll want to try", Tasty changes the Facebook game (or at least to me). Sometimes I will only go on Facebook to see if they have put any new videos up and its always an exciting feeling when you realize, yes they did (wow, I think I need a new hobby). Now I would like to acknowledge the most important job of these videos: the person who gets to take the one bite of the finished project is the person I want to be. You are the one that gets to try any and everything that is made. Imagine on your resume, "professional snacker and eater"; you'd be set for any job afterwards.

Now you have to be careful about when you look up Tasty on Facebook because most likely you will end up on Facebook for hours just watching these videos and then find yourself starving at 2 a.m. (I'm not talking from personal experience or anything...). The range of food that is made can be sweet or savory; easy or complicated; fast or slow cooking; and yet each one makes you think, "ya I can definitely make that". Who knows if you actually can, but you still go out to the store the next day to buy all the ingredients.

I have personally never made any of the recipes that I have watched, which is shameful since I have probably watched every Tasty video ever made. However, I do know someone who has. My best friend, the person who got me started on the Tasty kick by tagging me in a video on one fateful day, has actually made some of the recipes and boy, they turn out in real life just as good as the videos. Granted, she has only done the relatively simple ones, but regardless it didn't turn out like an infamous "Pinterest Fail".

Buzzfeed really out did themselves when they came up with Tasty, with over 50 million people who have liked it on Facebook, the amount of food that has been watched and hopefully made is infinite. I promise that one day soon I will make one of the recipes, but until then I'll just keep my long grocery shopping list handy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
