-Donated blood

-Tried every cookie in the FFC

-Gotten free food (candy, a donut (!), hot chocolate, and more) from the Breezeway

- Made Mac&Cheese for the first time
Yes, folks, believe it or not, making Mac&Cheese for the first time is something you can only do at Hopkins.  No other school will allow you to be a first time Mac&Cheese maker, they usually require that you've made it at least 3 times.  Being able to come to Hopkins having never created a dish such as Mac&Cheese and gaining the vast knowledge needed to concoct the proper portions of cheese and noodles is one of our main focuses at Hopkins, and there is no better place to come to make Mac&Cheese for the first time.
