5 Reasons Why Dogs Are A Better Valentine
Animal Fair

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd write about something that makes single people like myself, wonder what the big deal about it is. In all honesty, there really is no big deal about Valentine's Day EVEN if you're in a relationship. But I was thinking, the only thing that never runs away from me or loves me endlessly is my dog...so why not always have my dog as my Valentine? So here are five reasons why dogs are a better Valentine:

1. Constant Cuddles

No matter the size, I always find puppies wanting to cuddle whenever you want to. They will snuggle up to you as you watch TV. Even if you're not always wanting to cuddle they'll just lay next to you, always there just silently giving you all the love.

2. Love You Even After Mistakes

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU MESS UP IN LIFE DOGS WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. Even if you failed an exam, you got a speeding ticket, or if you're the worst person in the world. Puppies will always snuggle you and love you no matter what.

3. Netflix Buddy

The best part about this is your puppy won't even judge what you decide to watch, even if it's the weirdest movie ever. OR even the weirdest TV show, they'll always snuggle up to you as you watch your favorite or guiltiest pleasure of a show on TV.

4. Nap Buddy

After a long day or week of classes or work, sometimes snuggling up to your puppy and taking a long nap is the best. They never seem to mind taking a little snooze throughout the day with you.

5. They Never Leave You

They're your best friend and you guy's do everything together. They make being single easier because you know you'll always have a companion to love and snuggle and watch Netflix with.


Sometimes dogs are better than humans, but either way! Have a good Valentine's Day and snuggle up to your puppy!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
