My mom actually helped me bake over Thanksgiving break. We made banana bread, and pumpkin bread, as well as gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, and chocolate peanut butter bars. Thanks to friends off campus and to my RD Christina Cooper, I was able to make a variety of cakes cookies and brownies. In addition we bought pies and had a chocolate fountain. Because most of these things had to be made ahead of time our room was overflowing with food. It got to the point where we had to lay down our futon in order to have some place to hold the food. One night I was feeling so overwhelmed and claustrophobic in the room that I made guys from the brother dorm come over and get some of the food to store at their dorm until the party.
The party was a huge success overall. I couldn't have asked for it to go any smoother. The guys were a great help with getting things set up and they really did most of the clean up. Thanks to Charlie, Nick, and Johnny we had a good sound system that didn't cost us anything. The games that Zach and others came up with were fun and light hearted. The room looked beautiful with huge snowflakes that my leadership team made. Jess and Tia were a huge help setting the tables and center pieces. Everything just fell into place and turned out so great!
At the end I was so exhausted that I came back to the room and had an emotional break down. I started to cry just thinking about doing all the dishes. I ended up delegating them to a variety of girls on the hall. So note to self, next time delegate more, stress less and relax because in the end it all worked out perfectly.
Love from Liberty,
Peggy
