Selling cupcakes in subzero temperatures, at two o’clock in the morning isn’t quite how I had envisioned spending my weekends; but over the course of two years this became a regular occurrence for me. I found myself bundled up and standing on my campus’s busiest street, enthusiastically yelling at passers-by to buy just one cupcake.
