I don't understand this Richmond weather. I thought it was supposed to warm up. But it is getting more cold and rainy. At least I don't suffer from allergies! The bf goes through entire kleenex boxes, his eyes are super puffy... and the sniffling!! It's killing me. HAHA kidding. Because he reads this, I need to be nice. He pops his anti-histamines and now he squirts steroids up his nose. I'm always joking that he's going to become like A. Schwarzenegger with all those 'ROIDS.
Six more exams until summer! I can't wait to go back to LA. I think I'm going to try surfing again. Gosh, I really miss Costa Rica and the perfect surfing conditions. I'd love to go again, but I seriously came back looking like a monkey (far too tanned). I don't get a healthy golden glow like most. Just burned brown/sienna. Worst color evaarrr D:
Here are some cupcakes I made for my friends birthday. These are incredibly moist and keeps that way for a few days. You can substitute with any candy you like!

1 cup crushed robin eggs or whoppers
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
4 tbsp milk, cream or half and half
1/4-1/2 cup powdered sugar
