A Day in the Life of Gus Gus

Welcome. This is a look inside my life. My full name is Gus Gus the Hamster and I’m going to show you what a normal day looks like for me. I start the day by-

…

Hello. My name is Gus. Sorry about that pause. I fell asleep. I start my day at 11:30 at night. The air smells like carrots so I sniff around my bedroom door. Sniff sniff. No carrots. Quick twenty-minute nap. Up again and down the tubes. The carrots! Munch munch munch pause for water munch munch munch. Full stomach, time to run to Timbuktu!

I run for hours. The humans complain it bothers them so I keep doing it. They don’t understand how boring my home is with all the tubes. I need more wheels. I heard talk of a trampoline. Those tubes? Are just hallways. No fun for me. Run run run pause for water run run run.

Then my day is over and I sleep at the late hour of 6:30 in the morning. I live a full life and sleep for the rest of the-WHAT IS THAT EARTHQUAKE WHO IS SCREAMING AT ME

This documentary was almost over but then the humans woke up and started SCREAMING. Leave me alone. They talk but I just hear a loud fog horn that interrupts whatever I’m doing. Sleeping. Eating. Running on my wheel.

Listen to this! Remember how I said the humans don’t like the wheel? Sometimes they decide it’s “too loud” for them and they hold my wheel. Until. It. Stops.

Have you ever heard of anything so rude?

I’m saving up to buy my own apartment. Far away from them and their “cuddles.” Maybe I can buy new humans, too. But enough of that for now. It is time for me to-

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
