10 Reasons Why Colleges And Pet Shelters Need To Unite

Who doesn't like puppies? Or kitties?

Who doesn't love late night snuggles with your pet because you're forever alone and your pet will never go through an identity crisis even if you do.

Or if they do, it'll look like this:

Which is adorable so really, is there a downside? We, as college students, are deprived of pet love, which while not required, makes me a much happier person with more patience.

Just think about it, it could be a great thing for the pets and for us! Pets in shelters need companionship, and well, college kids do too.

1.) Shelters on campus would give students the opportunity to stop in after lunch and cuddle, and then the pets get cuddles. EVERYONE WINS!

2.) Just think of psychological benefits!

Lonely? Homesick? Head down to the student center and visit the campus shelter and spend some time with a dog!

3.) Think about how much easier sad times would be!

Feeling lonely and sad? Need someone to cuddle with? Don't hit up your ex! Just cuddle with a dog.

4.) It would be great for snow days

With puppies to cuddle we wouldn't be bored and "likely to get into trouble."

5.) Also for writing papers

Because nothing helps relieve writer's block like a puppy.

6.) It would be good for the pets

Most shelter animals don't get the attention they need, and the same can be said for many college students. Combine the two, and you can solve two problems in one go.

7.) Could be used for exercise...

I, for one, would be much more motivated to go run or go to yoga if there was a dog or cat there.

8.) The world needs more love

Everywhere we look, there's people arguing and being rude to each other. Having pets on campus would remind students to appreciate the love in life and that it isn't all bad.

9.) Animal withdrawal is real

I just want to cuddle a puppy is that too much to ask?

10.) A pet will never, never judge you.

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.
