I couldn't imagine growing up without my dogs. My dogs are my best friends, and I love them more than anything. I know so many people that have pets too, like birds, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, the list goes on. Having an animal that looks after you and loves you unconditionally is something unexplainable. The bond I have my dogs is something I would never trade. There is something about coming home, and seeing your pet so excited to see you, that makes you feel so loved.

If you hesitate on getting yourself or your kids a pet, here are 10 reasons why you should get one.

1. Your pet will love you unconditionally.

Every time you come home, they'll be so excited to see you.

2. They will play with you and keep you active.

Most pets love running around and playing with their toys with you, which will keep you moving as well.

3. Your pet will cuddle with you when you're sad.

Animals can sense when their owner is sad, and will try to comfort you by snuggling up and giving you lots of affection.

4. Your pet will never get tired of you.

You are the reason your pet is healthy and happy. They will never forget that and always be happy to see you.

5. They are so adorable.

Pets are just so cute. You fall in love with them instantly and you find them to be perfect.

6. Pets can relieve stress.

Whenever you're stressed or overwhelmed, cut out some time with your pet. Studies have shown that spending time with your pets can reduce your stress.

7. They give you some responsibility.

Pets are an everyday commitment, you need to take care of them so they stay healthy. They're a big responsibility but they are so worth it. And it's a good for kids to learn early how to take care of others.

8. Pets can sense when danger is near.

Animals can sense when something is off, which will protect you from dangers you are not aware of.

9. They remind you that you're never alone.

No matter what, when you get home your pet will be there, ready to love you.

10. They become your best friend.

The bond you will form with your pet will be so strong, they will literally become your best friend.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
