1. Guy Takes His Terminally Ill Dog On The Trip Of A Lifetime.

When Robert Kuglers best friend, a chocolate lab named Bella, was diagnosed with cancer he was faced with a heart breaking decision. He could have her put down or have her leg amputated buying her 3-6 more months. He decided to amputate her leg and take her on the trip of a life time with those precious few months. The dynamic duo have been traveling the world inspiring others to do the same. Bella has now lived 8 months longer than her doctors predicted, proving that a little love and adventure is the best medicine.

2. Officers Respond To Couple Who Refused To Sit By Them

On Friday July 8th, the day after five officers were shot and killed in Dallas, officer Chuck Thomas and three colleagues decided to enjoy a meal at an Eat'n Park near Pittsburgh. A couple was about to be seated next to the officers but made it very clear they did not want to be seated across from the police. So instead of making a scene or being mad Thomas responded with grace by picking up the couples tab and adding a ten dollar tip. "I wanted to break the tension and say, we're human, too," he said. "And we want to be treated as such. We're not all bad guys. We're here for the public. We're here for you. We're public servants, bottom line." Thomas told TODAY.

3. Five-Year-Old Boy Takes His "Best Friend In The World" On An Adorable First Date

Five-year-old Freddie Gibson asked his parents what a date was and once the details had been explained he decided to ask his best friend Dee Dee on a first date. Freddie sent Dee Dee a letter asking her to go on a date with him once she turned five (because four is simply to young) and saved up his birthday money to pay for their meal. When the day came for their first date Freddie got Dee Dee a bouquet of flowers and the young couple went to their favorite restaurant, Pizza Express. The staff at the restaurant even threw in a desert decorated with hearts. Guys could learn a thing or two from Freddie and his chivalry.

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.
