What would life be without having a dog? Would it be sad, lonely, unexciting? I have no idea, and I never want to find out. If you look up "dog person" online, there's probably about two million pictures of dogs and then an image of myself, because I am the textbook definition of one to a point it might be a little scary.

That being said, my doggo is the love of my life. He sleeps with me every night, defends me from ferocious noises in the kitchen, and really, really likes popcorn. Now, I can't imagine a life without my good ol' pupper by my side, so here is a list of completely not at all irrational things I'd rather do than not have a dog:

1. Watch "Nacho Libre" again

2. Travel to a communist country

3. Skydive into a pit of sharks

4. Be a legitimate adult, not a college trial adult

5. Give up junk food

6. Go off the grid

7. Deactivate my Netflix account

8. Go "real camping," like in a tent in the woods

9. Have a customer scream at me for ten minutes straight

10. Have my identity stolen

11. Never watch Moana ever again

12. Pay any money for anything ever

13. Live in Kansas

14. Wear Gildan t-shirts

15. Do my homework before the day it's due

16. Be a morning person

17. Get salmonella from all the raw cookie dough I eat

18. Max out all my credit cards

19. Pay $300 for one textbook

20. Be in high school again

21. Be on a reality tv show

22. Wake up ten minutes before a class that's on the other side of campus

23. Shop at Aeropostale after age 12

24. Take 18 credit hours each semester

25. Be trapped in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with no food

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
