These DIY Dinners Would Sure Look Delicious In A Numeric List
I own this image, but not the sunscreen

The internet is home to a wealth of knowledge. Whether it's what bread is best or how to make girls to like you without considering your own behavior and personality profile, the internet has you covered. One distraction I see frequently is food recipes. Hella recipes. Recipes so easy, anyone can make them, but they look like some Bobby Flay! Do-it-yourself dinners (or DIY dinners for my breev crowd) are all the rage and will be forever, so you might as well get used to it now if you haven't already. I'll share some of the DIY dinners I've perused over the net because stealing content is how I will get where I want to be on this Earth. Hope you're hungry. This is normally where I would put the last sentence of the introductory paragraph that would make this similar to an Onion or Clickhole article to create some tongue-in-cheek or absurdity that reinforces the punchline of the headline, but I'm tapped out.

My enthusiasm has dwindled to a level where the only thing I currently find funny is a dog from Pompeii saying "Hey kid! Get me outta this thing, huh?!" in an Arkham City accent. These dinners are going to be in a numeric list, betraying my funny headline, but it doesn't matter because some of these meals exist as far I know. They definitely could but I didn't check because I don't like the internet. I don't even know if it's appropriate to capitalize the "I" and I don't really care that much anymore.


1. Corn on the job

So that's what he meant by DIY. Yes, this corn recipe involves cooking corn in a slow-cooker while you're at work. It's very simple. Technically the slow-cooker does all the work, but you have to turn it on, therefore doing it yourself. Machines can't add butter for you unless it's like that little butter robot from Rick and Morty. I can't remember its name. You can look it up if you want to know, I have faith in you. Anyway, I would wear gloves and rub oil and spices up and down the corn before you put it in the slow-cooker. My dad made a tandoor using these instructions that creates excellent corn on the cob, but you can't have a tandoor running at work unless you work in a restaurant that uses a tandoor.

2. Stirred fry stir-fry

A stir-fry made of french fries that are cooked in a wok with vegetables. Stir vigorously until just-limp. This recipe probably doesn't exist yet, but you could do it. Else it wouldn't be on this list. In the least humorous way possible, I wonder if wearing this headset while it's storming outside will fry my brain? Dying while listening to "Go Gina" wouldn't be too bad. It's a song by SZA. I like it a lot!

3. A Pop-Tart sandwich where the buns are pop-tarts and the filling is peanut butter or frosting or whatever you can handle on a Friday night

Everything I've written had led to this moment. Everything, even Street Week, pales in comparison to the magnitude of going public with my Pop-Tart dream when I ate a peanut butter Pop-Tart sandwich as described above. It's not dinner, but what is dinner anyway? It's an evening meal. You can eat whatever you want. You really think someone would bat an eye if you said this was dessert? But call it dinner and the death threats pour in.

4. A grilled please

This is mine. It's cottage cheese mixed with peanut butter, then I put it on some bread and grill it to make me feel less disgusting. Something about watching this inexcusable sammie sizzle all by itself on a skillet makes me feel like it could be passed off as something people eat. You can defininitely do this yourself and it's really easy.

5. People have been cooking their chicken medium rare

Have you seen this? It's probably not safe. By all means, though. You can do it yourself. I'm pretty sure the posts about eating medium rare chicken are jokes, but that hasn't stopped people on the internet from making videos about it and trying to get as many jokes in as possible, sometimes calling the original poster a bitch or some other insult, spreading malice. Now it sounds like I eat raw chicken. Don't do it yourself.


Every day I get older. This is settling in and time is running out to reach my potential. My biggest fear is dying before I'm supposed to. Keep your chin up and do it yourself. I'm going to go listen to Grimes.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
