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.

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.
