7 Things Our Dogs Do That Make Our Hearts Sing
Alec Connell

Everyone has a soft spot for their special four legged friend, but what things do our cats and dogs do that make our heart sing the loudest? Sometimes our love for our pets require more of an explanation than words can offer, so I've gathered a few moments here to highlight what I've noticed our furry friends do to have us smiling from ear to ear.

1. Chase their tails.

Katy shows no signs of dizziness, but after watching her swirl around so fast to snatch her tail in her mouth, I think I'll need to take a seat.

2. Eating their food away from their bowl.


Little Lizzy will take a mouth full of dry food and adventure of to somewhere more suitable for the meal (usually a cozy rug), munch on her dinner, and then return a few seconds later for another trip.

3. Soaking in the sun.

Nothing beats watching your pet go outside just to sunbathe! Lizzy especially loves to lay in the warmth of the sun in the morning, after breakfast.

4. Putting themselves in places they don't belong.

Curious Katy often explores laundry baskets, window sills, and even the bathroom sink.

Side note: I have no clue how she manages to climb these heights at an astounding three feet tall on her hind legs.

5. The head tilt.

Try asking Lizzy a question, she'll sway her head to the left to let you know she's listening intently, but still has no clue what you're saying.

6. Keep our laps warm.

Not only on their own do these loving lap dogs provide me with some extra warmth, but together too! The gang's all here.

7. Tolerate our incessant selfie taking.

Although Lizzy may look glum while I'm holding her up against my chest for a killer Snapchat story, I believe that she knows it gives me the utmost pleasure to show her off to the the world. That's the thing about dogs, they'll do whatever it takes to make you smile. Even if it means dealing with the awkward angles in front of natural light and breaks in between flashes to adjust her hair (and my own of course), she sticks it out until I get my favorite shot. Every single time.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
