the marshmallow test

When finals week comes around, I always think about the marshmallow test. If I can buckle down and deny myself happy, carefree things now (e.g., movies, cooking, cleaning apartment) -- I can have TWO marshmallows on the 16th!

 

P.S. Thanks, Caitlin, for the marshmallows! I'm enjoying one as I type!
