Summary of 2015

At the beautiful gazebo located downtown in my city

Hello!

My winter break has finally ended and I'm heading back to school today. For my sorority we have recruitment bootcamp Saturday and Sunday. Basically this half of the year has been decent.

School related things:
After numerous applications in the end I was able to get 6 interviews: 4 accounting position practicums, 1 finance summer internship, and 1 finance and accounting summer internship. I received 1 offer from the finance and accounting position so I will have a place to intern at for the summer!

As for classes I did ok but not as well as I hoped for but I will try harder this semester to improve my grades. I can't believe that this semester will be be last semester taking core classes needed for my major. Next fall I will be finishing up my undergrad classes which includes capstone and electives. I also need to declare my finance minor and apply for the masters program.

Winter break:

This break I was able to hangout of with my friends from high school. Everyone seemed to be doing well. We went to the new Bdubs and the wings were spicy but overall a great experience.

The wings I got were had the honey BBQ sauce

 I went to Wholefoods recently because my brother wanted orange juice. I was really craving chocolate so I picked up a bar.

I really like this dark chocolate. Since it was only 56%, the taste wasnt very bitter.

The bakery section I can only look but not buy

 I'm so happy to be able to buy cupcake from Babycakes again :D

Butter Pecan: buttery taste and I loved the pecans

Strawberry Champagne: very smooth and the frosting was very glossy

 On the day after Christmas we went to the outlet mall to see if there was any sales.  I got this bright vest and a grey cardigan. The vest is super warm because it is made from down and also it was half off and the cardigan is a nice thick material.

Vest: Nike
Cardigan: Tommy Hilfiger

 Of course every time I come back I have to go to the mall. I was able to get two similar dresses from H&M. One is a half sleeves black dress while the one is sleeveless dark blue. I don't remember the cost of each dress but my total was under $27. Me and my sister also dropped by Gloria Jean's to get some chillers. I got my usual ultimate cookie chiller which was delicious as always. I posted the picture below on instagram and got featured on the Gloria Jean's instagram page :D

 Awhile back after the last week of classes my boss and her assistant treated me and my co-workers to lunch, We went to this restaurant that was on campus. The food is decent but not my favorite place to go.

philly steak with no mushrooms and sweet potato fries

I was able to meet up with my best friend from high school and we got crepes as usual. You've probably seen this crepe before in my blog.

Afternoon with Friends

(I bought myself some treats)

Hello,

This afternoon I got to hang out with my lovely friends. I did take some food pics yay!

(banella: banana and nutella crepe)

This was so good. I only went to this crepe place a couple of times. As usual I was the last one to arrive hehe. Even though the place was small its so cute. Then afterwards we went to a coffee place called Arabica. (Sorry no pics) I wanted to try their special almond milk latte but they ran out of almond milk :(. So instead I got the vanilla latte with soy milk. I like because it tastes sweet. In the past I have tried that vanilla latte before but it wasn't so sweet. Next time I will definitely try the vanilla latte with soy milk again. We mostly talk about college things and our classes and what not. Afterwards I went to Babycakes, a local cupcake specialty store. So as you can guess I got some delicious cupcakes togo. 

(two lovely cupcakes in a box)

As you may guess the box in the beginning of my post contained cupcakes. Last time when I hung out with friends in the area I didn't have the chance to buy cupcakes. This time I had to get some.

(raspberry almond cupcake)

The cupcake above is the beautiful raspberry almond cupcake. I wanted to try something new than the regular vanilla or chocolate flavored ones. Plus the icing was purple. 

(cookie dough cupcake)

This lovely cupcake above is the cookie dough cupcake. The base also has some chocolate chips. I gave this to my brother who always critiques the food I buy. He thought that the little cookie would be little the typical generic hard chocolate chip cookie but it was surprisingly soft. The base was not dry because when cupcakes are over baked the base can lose a lot of moisture. Overall though he said cookie was ok. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Love,

M
