Thank you Wyatt, for everything. I love you.

The Biggest Thank You To My Dog, My Best Friend
Becky Smith

To my right-hand-man, my best pal, my better half: thank you. You have only been a part of my life for about 80 days, but I feel like you were meant to be here forever. Scratch that: I know you were meant to be here forever.

With that being said, here is to you, Wyatt:

Thank you for your warm greetings every morning. Even though I have learned to tolerate your stinky dog breath, I still look forward to see your smile and wagging tail when I open my eyes. As soon as a peek, you jump into my lap and I know it is time to start my day.

Thank you for your loving kisses. As a dog mom you have to quickly get used to the pounds of slobber and constant licks from your furry creature, but I would not trade them for the world. I know your kisses are your signs of affection, and yes, of course, I love you too.

Thank you for never leaving my side. Whether I am going to the bathroom, cooking in the kitchen, or God knows where else, you have to be attached to my hip. I am so grateful to have a four-legged shadow following my every move and knowing I will never be alone.

Thank you for keeping me active. Who knows how wound up you would be if you did not get your daily walk or trip to the dog park... I have a feeling I would spend my time running away from you in the house because you have the same amount of energy as twelve seven year-olds. You keep me on my toes and make me want to be a healthier individual.

Thank you for forgiving me when I yell at you. Yes, I get frustrated when you eat my shoes or the furniture, or when you have an accident, but you know how much I love you still and are patient with me. Besides, who can stay made at you when you give me those big puppy dog eyes?

Thank you for loving the people I care about. When I first got you, I thought you were only going to trust me, but you have warmed up to almost everyone, with a few exceptions. You have grown so much in less than three months, and mom is so proud.

Thank you for cheering me up when I am upset. I am hands-down the moodiest person out there, and cry at the drop of the hat. You always know how to turn my frown upside down with a blink of an eye. Thanks for putting that smile there.

Thank you for saving me. I am constantly amazed by how happy I have become with you in my life. Who knew motherhood would bring me so much joy. I may have rescued you, but in the end, I truly believe you are the one rescuing me.

Thank you Wyatt, for everything, I love you.

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.

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?

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

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
