10 Signs You're A Dog Mom, Devoted Through And Through
Bella Thoren

It is no secret that I am very fond of my dog, Sage. I wouldn't go as far to say I'm a crazy dog mom, I don't have tattoos of her or anything like that. But she is still a large part of my life, and even though she can be a brat I still love her. Still, here are just a handful of signs that you're more than the average dog parent.

1. You have more photos of your dog than anyone else

It's safe to say I have taken more photos of my dog than selfies, or pictures of the floor when my face isn't presentable. She's everywhere: my phone, my laptop, the two physical picture frames I own, you name it.

2. They are your phone background

This photo of her has beat out my best friends, significant others, and family members for almost two years now.

3. You talk to them in a baby voice

It doesn't matter how old they are, you will always talk to them like you would talk to a human baby. Because they are your baby.

4. You have conversations with them, in that baby voice

Your dog probably only knows a handful of words, most of them food-related, but that doesn't matter. Sometimes it's nice to have a one sided conversation about who is a good boy and who isn't.

5. You love talking about them when they were a baby

Puppyhood is the best time, it almost makes up for the times when they got big enough to eat your sandwich off the counter.

6. You like people who remember details about your dog

You remember her name? Point for you. You remember what kind of dog she is? Another point. You remember she prefers to patrol the backyard for bunnies after she's had her breakfast? Bonus points all around.

7. When you're homesick, it means you miss THEM

A large portion of the reason I go home is to see her, sorry not sorry. She may have forgotten I was gone until she sees me again, but she gives a great furry welcome.

8. You give them gifts for all major holidays

I sent her a pink chew toy for Valentine's Day this year, what did you send your pet?

9. Their birthday is on your phone calendar

This one should be a given. I'm not crazy enough to spend money to celebrate an event she is completely unaware of, but I give her extra love and attention (and bacon) on her birthday.

10. They are a member of your family, and should be treated as such

I can make fun of my brothers all I want, but no one else is allowed to. The same way I can call my dog a brat all day long, but no one else can say a word against her. And, she is included in family photos if she's willing to sit still long enough.

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.
