In life, I have always fallen back on humor. Want to make someone happy? Tell them a joke. Make a mistake during a presentation? Brush it off with a jab at your fumble. Want to make a new friend? Start of on the right foot by making them laugh. Of course, we all have our own sense of humor. I do like a few classic jokes, such as an occasional knock knock joke, or a take on the classic why did the chicken cross the road, but I have always had one comedic love: puns. I have always loved the intelligent play on words. My favorite moment has always been when the puzzle clicks in your head, that almost relief that comes with your understanding, and the nearly instantaneous moment of “that was so good I’m kinda ticked.” Puns even have a special meaning to me on a personal level; to a certain degree, they’re the reason my boyfriend and I hit it off when we met each other. When I first met him, he told me a pun, and I sought him out a week later because I wanted to properly meet the person who shared my sense of humor. We both have an equal love for word play, and often find ourselves throwing puns back and forth at one another.

Puns, in my opinion, are a superior joke form. Whether they’re making you laugh, making you think, making your angry, or maybe even helping you fall in love, everyone needs a good pun in their life every once and awhile. Here are 17 puns to kick of your 2017 with the best form of comedy out there.

Note: If you have trouble understanding the pun, try saying the whole joke out loud.

1. If a pigeon was a rebel, what would it do? It would start a coo.

2. If a cow could be any other animal, what would it be? A mooooose.

3. What did the two deer do when they fell in love? They started to fawn over one another.

4.What does a bed do when making a shady contract or deal? It uses blanket terms.

5. Why didn’t the bike go to work? It was two-tired.

6. What is a turtle’s favorite kind of pasta? Turtlellini.

7. Why was the computer dating the keyboard? He had a certain type.

8. How did the pair of glasses plead not guilty? He said he was framed.

9. When the sheep ate some bad hay, what did she say? Ewe.

10. How did the pillow avoid jail time? He had a strong case.

11. What happened when the foot lost the race? Defeat.

12. What did the coat say to vest when they were stealing a necklace? Jacket.

13. What is a fence’s favorite band? Linkin Park.

14. How did the chickens get in a fight? They egged each other on.

15. Where does the snowman put his money? The snowbank.

16. What did the dock say to the other dock? I'm board.

17. What would a wolf get arrested for? Mooning.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
