Mardi Gras!


Funfetti cupcakes for Mardi Gras and Mike's Birthday!


I cannot stress how having a kitchen this year has made life sooooo much better! I never really cooked and baked much when I was still living at home in high school. But I missed home-cooked meals and baking cupcakes and cookies occasionally when I lived in freshman housing last year. Now, I love how my apartment gives me the advantages of living on campus and having my own kitchen for home-cooked meals and such. I love inviting my friends over and for dinners too!

After dinner, I had to go to my weekly Residence Hall Association (RHA) Executive Board meeting. Today is also one of the exec board members' birthday. Happy Birthday, Mike! I brought along some cupcakes for our meeting as we planned for our events for this semester. After the meeting, I met up with some friends for some Mardi Gras festivities. (Well nothing big) We just went over to our friends' apartment at the Vistas (Sophomore Housing) to bring them cupcakes. Yes, I made a ton of cupcakes! Haha. We just hung out and ate the box of chocolates from one of my friend's roommates. I had to take advantage of the cookies and cupcakes since I gave up cookies, cakes, brownies, and chips for Lent. It's not all desserts. It's too hard to give up chocolates and fro-yo!
