Here’s a confession I got from a friend (we’ll call her Maya) over the weekend:

“When I’m doing badly in a class (and this is usually around the end of the semester when it’s crunch time), I bake cookies for the professor and bring it to their office. It’s gotten me that passing grade more times than you can imagine.”

Rajul’s Take: This is hilarious and I’m wondering if baking cookies is the new flirting. Hey – whatever works! Just don’t play around like this in med school, because I do not want to end up with a doctor who passed because of some killer oatmeal raisins.
