Bakation

I’ve been on a bakation (baking + vacation).

It wasn’t intentional.

As much as I would love to focus all my time and energy on Gilly’s, I am accepting of the fact that I can’t. As much as it annoys and frustrates me, I need to accept that I am a graduating senior who has to pay attention to her life.

Like many millennials, I am graduating college. This is extremely terrifying and exciting at the same point. I would argue that 75% of the time I am relaxed about the whole process. I eagerly apply for jobs, do my academic work, and look for apartments. System is down.

But for the past week, I hit a low. The apartment I loved was sold to someone else. HR departments never reply as quickly as I hoped. I’m giving showings of my current apartment like I’m a full time real estate agent. With all of this and more, I have lost my bakspiration (baking + inspiration). The stress made me sick too and that’s just annoying.

Today when I was on the phone with my sister, I was drafting cheesecake recipes and apart of me just felt like “blah”. So, as the accepting human that I am, I am accepting that I don’t need to bake every other day, (yes I usually bake every other day), and allow myself to focus on my impending graduation.

With that being said, I drafted a lovely cheesecake recipe today and I hope to get it out soon! In the meantime, chocolate chip cookies will suffice.

Stay patient, stay kind!
