I Love Mondays
I really love Mondays lately, mostly because there are so few of them left in the semester, but also because the Center for Student Involvement hosts some great activities on Monday afternoons from 2 to 3听 p.m. in the UMC North Dining Room. This week, I Love Mondays features chocolate-covered pretzel making (and eating), totally for free, so be sure to check it out.
