A university of the future preaches progression to students--more rights for minorities, more technology where technology is lacking. More of this, better of that. "We must reach for the future! For a better tomorrow!"
And still, with all of us dreaming progressive dreams where an unreachable, idealistic world accepts everyone and all love to love, the halls reek of moth balls and mold, and the line between antiquity and rust has since been erased.
However, I think something would have been lost in the experience, had the cliché of an aging university not been the case for me. Somehow, I need this.

Haven't received a comment from me in awhile?
Here's a little story:
I noticed that when I was sending comments to people whose blogs had the embedded comment form feature, that I wasn't completely positive the comments were sending... But, for fear I would spam you or become on some bloggy spam blacklist for spamming in an attempt to make sure the comments sent, I just sent my comment and hoped for the best.
The best never came.
It wasn't until I realized something the other day. Shortly after this went on for a couple of weeks, I could no longer use some of the features in our university's online learning tool, WebCT, where we can take online quizzes and they sometimes upload class notes or homework assignments... Since I need that for school (like turning in a paper for class *cough*), I was becoming desperate.
Eventually, it got to the point where I couldn't use anything that had any sort of "third party" involvement. Then I downloaded Firefox again (because I refuse to use Internet Explorer under any circumstances), and I realized it all worked there.
Great, so now it's my Google Chrome browser, eh? Well, Chrome and I are best friends 4 lyfe, ooookayyy? But seriously, I love me some Chrome. It does everything I want it to, and it's fast. So the fact that it was suddenly not working was making me sad.
But here's the thing about Chrome. It does automatic updates--meaning, it doesn't prompt the user for the latest version of Chrome 4.5.8.357854587. Instead, it just does it for you. Well, I am guessing in all of its fun with updating, it decided to re-check a little check-box that says "block third party cookies and site data" inside the "Content Settings." Nice, Chrome. Real nice. Didn't bother to ask, eh?
So now, that check-box is un-checked and I can do all of the fun and fancy-free things I used to do on the internet.
So, if you have noticed I have been awkwardly silent and yet selfishly wanting you all to come by my blog, as if I'm more important, please know that wasn't it.
I love all of you. Your blogs are fabulous. I'm just going to be checking my settings more often when something starts getting wonky again.

Valentine's Day Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
Check out our latest video.
I promise to find some time to write something, I know it's been awhile. I hate having nothing but videos lately. I really honestly do.

A YouTube Intermission
It has been awhile, but Chelsea and I finally posted a "vlog" to make up for lost time on our cupcake channel.
We just finished making a batch of pink lemonade cupcakes for Valentine's Day, and we will have a video up by the end of the weekend.
Check out this video and subscribe to our channel. Thanks!

My Life According To Instagram
Because I am a bit uninspired and lacking in the free time to put together something of which I can say I am proud, I decided to do a picture post instead. (My username on Instagram is dearjenna, if you are interested.)
Here we go--my life for the past few weeks. It's not that exciting, but I still love it.

1. A date night with my fiancé and I even tried a new hairstyle: a braided headband.
