So I have this crazy Spanish teacher, and she decides to give us a how-to video project. Like, you make a video on how to do something.
Guess what I picked.
You may think I would pick something like How to Frost Cupcakes or How to Make Brownies or the like. But I decided to go for something a little more original.
How to Improve Your Life With Cake.
I actually crack myself up so badly. The video is in Spanish, but it’s still pretty funny…and features my APUSH teacher Mr. McAuley, another APUSH teacher Mr. O’Hagan, my friend Margaret, and a chocolate cake! The script in both English and Spanish is below the link to the video. Keep in mind that I am in no way fluent and if you are, sorry about the mistakes! At the end you’ll hear my bird whistling in the background 🙂 Do enjoy.

That is to awesome! I remember doing a how to speech in front of my class making portobello mushroom chili, yours is much more entertaining and fun with spanish. Great Job! and cake always make me feel better too 🙂
Haha thank you, I’m glad you like it! Speeches I am terrible at, but the video was a little better. I was still really nervous! The cake helped 🙂
That’s hilarious! My Spanish teacher had us draw situations we had to create a skit about in Spanish. Me and my friend had to go to the mall of America so we bought prom dresses and shoes but tripped down the stairs and had to go to the mayo clinic. That was fun – yours looks like a blast as well! And the cake – now I’m hungry!
Thats so funny! Spanish teachers are all crazy, I’m convinced. And thank you! 🙂
Lmao – hilarious! Ahhh, the crazy things teachers make us do. But seriously – cake does improve my life. It’s amazing what it does for my mental health (not so much with the physical health but oh well, we can’t have it all!).
I completely agree (obviously)! Cake is my favorite therapist 🙂
That is Awesome! Everything is better with cake! One of my favorite quotes I found on Pinterest is A Party without Cake is just a Meeting. Now I can say Life without cake is Just Sad. Eat More Cake! 🙂 Love it. Krista @ A Handful of Everything
I agree! I love that quote by Julia Child 🙂
