"They're ankle biters!" "They're mean!" "They do nothing but bark!" Blah blah blah. Chihuahuas have a bad rep by most people but in actuality, they're a cute little breed with big personalities that have stole many hearts, including mine. I have 2 little Chihuahuas who I love dearly, and here's 8 reasons why you should have one too:

1. They are super cuddly

They're small dogs so they're great cuddlers! Grab a blanket and a Chihuahua and you're set for a long night of cuddles ahead.

2. They are quirky and VERY entertaining

These little cuties will never fail to put a smile on your face. It's kind of one of those "you have to be there" moments to know what I'm talking about.

3. They live longer

A chihuahua's average life span is about 15-20 years old which is longer than the average big or mid-sized dog, so you can count on having a best furry friend around for a long time!

4. You'll always have a tanning buddy

Chihuahuas are known to love the sun and warm weather.

5. They don't need much exercise

Since they are so small, they really don't need to go on super long walks. They can get most of their exercise by running inside the house and running around the backyard, but giving your little pet extra walks is recommended.

6. They may be small, but they are mighty!

Yeah, the average chihuahua may be between 3-6 pounds, but they sure can keep the bad guys away. They are a very alert breed and will most likely bark at people they don't know.

7. They're great traveling partners

Chihuahuas are small, so they're the perfect travel size for trips and also the perfect size for apartments.

8. They're adorable!

They have the cutest and sweetest little faces ever that you can't get enough of. They truly are the perfect little dogs for anyone looking for a cuddle buddy or a guard dog.

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.
