Probably the greatest pet ever is a cat. No, they're definitely the best pet. What's not to love about them? They've got a tiny pink nose, whiskers on their little lips, big and mesmerizing eyes, little feets covered in fur, a twitchy tail, and a purr that instantly calms you. With Christmas getting closer and closer, people have probably started asking you what you want for a present. Well, I want a kitty. Now, my dad is very against this since we already have a cat and will soon be getting another cat once his fiancee moves in. However, I have decided to make a list of reasons why I myself deserve a kitty for Christmas.

1. I'm graduating early, so a kitty can also be a graduation gift.

I'll be graduating college this semester, not just with one major but two and also with honors. Needless to say, I've worked hard these past three and a half years, so I think I deserve something tiny and fluffy as a reward. Plus, a kitty would be a reminder of my accomplishments.

2. Kitties are much cheaper than other gifts I want.

To adopt a kitty, you pay fifty dollars. That includes having them spayed/neutered and covers their first shots. Plus, all the love that you get from cuddles, kisses, and lots of purrs is priceless. And fifty bucks is much less than the two hundred plus dollar TV I would like...

3. I would have something to prove my adult-ness.

College has allowed me to grow up greatly, especially this semester with having an apartment on campus. I've learned how to keep it clean, to cook, and just maintain a place other than a dorm. I truly believe I am responsible enough to be able to handle a tiny ball of fluff.

4. With me going out into the adult world, I need something cute and cuddly to come home to.

Yes, I do have a kitty now, but she's getting older. Plus, she doesn't really care all that much for cuddling, except for when she wants to. I would hope that with a little kitten of my own it would cuddle with me whenever I sit down or go to sleep. Also, just being able to come home to something little and sweet that is all yours would just instantly make all the worries and stress of the day disappear.

5. A kitty would be the first live creature I would be responsible for.

I think I am a grown-up, but being able to care after something with a heartbeat and a soul will allow me to prove it. I would feed it, play with it, change the litter box, and love it. I would brush it, give it baths, and trim its claws. Plus, I would make sure it stays up to date on shots and take care of it if it gets sick. I know I am capable of caring for something other than myself.

The want I have for a kitty for Christmas is so great, clearly. I really feel like I am able to care for and love a little creature, especially a kitty. That is why I want a kitty for a gift this year, so Dad...please?

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.
