It makes me sad to think that I won't be with my Valentine on Valentine's Day this year. I'll be here at school, while she's at home. I'll be going to class, while she'll be playing outside. I'll be working on a paper, while she'll be working on her tenth nap of the day. In case you're a bit confused, my Valentine is my dog.

This may sound melodramatic, but my dog is the love of my life. She's the best dog you could ever ask for; she's lovable, friendly, and protective. She absolutely loves hugs and you better bet she expects them when she does something good.She goes nuts when I take her for walks and trips to the beach. Photos of her take up the majority of my phone's storage. And yes, I have a framed photo of her on my desk.

Besides her awesome personality traits, my dog is the best valentine I could ask for because we have so much in common. She loves food, I love food. She loves naps, I love naps. I love exercise, she loves exercise. I love my bed, she loves my bed, which may or may not be a good thing since she takes up over half the mattress.

The distance between us hasn't affected our relationship too much. Of course, it's disappointing when I come into my dorm room after a long day and not to see her laying on my bed, wagging her tail.It broke my heart when I left for college, afraid that she'd be too sad without me or worse, she'd forget about me. I'll FaceTime my family sometimes (okay, every time) just to see her face. But whenever I come home, she's the first one waiting for me as I walk through the door. Those hugs are the best.

I love my dog and my dog loves me (if not, this article has become very awkward). Like I said, I'm sad that I won't be with my dog on Valentine's Day this year, but she'll always be in my heart. And on my phone's screensaver.

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.
