College & Cupcakes? Yes please!

Currently I’m in the middle of typing up parts for a draft of the Senior Design Thesis due on Thursday. Naturally I’m going to get easily distracted and Facebook typically is one of my modes of distracting myself, for better or for worse. After some random clicking, I stumbled upon this blog called “College & Cupcakes” written by someone I know at Santa Clara. In my state of distraction, I read and read and found some really awesome stuff. I’ll link to it at the end for reference because you should really check it out. Especially if you’re an aspiring baker. J

Now I haven’t read all of the blog (I only got through the first 3 pages) but even then I wanted take some time to read it today. There are some really cool insights I read. I was invited into the experiences this person described. I could put myself in their shoes. I feel a greater appreciation for this person now that I’ve had a chance to see a different side of her. She already is a great person in-person but seeing this side of her through her blog just opens up a new side of her to me. And I feel so much better for having the opportunity to see this side. This was a random occurrence which was very fulfilling by virtue of stumbling upon her blog.

This actually reminds me of why I was encouraged to start my own blog by one of my own friends. He said that I had many insights that people could get a lot out of. Theoretically speaking, someone could stumble upon my blog and get something out of what I write. That’s exactly what happened with stumbling upon this friend’s blog, and I’m so much better for it.

So let me conclude by saying I am thankful for the writer of the College & Cupcakes blog for the insights into this person that I have received and for giving me a reminder of why I started my own blog in the first place. J

I invite you to read her blog for wonderful insights and baking recipes. If you're so inclined to accept my invitation, here’s the link: https://collegeandcupcakes.wordpress.com/
