5 Reasons Dogs Are A Blessing In Life
Erika Sheets

If you've ever had a dog you'll know how it feels to have that one true "best friend." I mean they are called "man's best friend" for a reason.

Dogs are such a pure animal; although they can be mischievous quite a bit you'll never find a better animal to have as a pet in your household. I remember begging my parents to get another dog after my first dog (Sammy) had to be put down because of the sense of loss I had after losing something that had been there my whole life.

Losing a dog is like losing a part of the family that can never be replaced. Life is so much more significant with a trusty companion such as a dog for many reasons; so many that are way too long to list. However, here are some reasons why dogs will never disappoint you if you choose to own one.

1. They Are Adorable

All shapes, sizes, and color I almost guarantee you will never find a dog that doesn't pull at your heartstrings a lil when they give you that "puppy-dog look."

2. They do the funniest things that its almost ridiculous

From running into walls to just being goofy, dogs can crack you up with the smallest things you didn't even know could make you laugh. They definitely can be unaware of their surroundings at times.

3. They are always up for cuddling


No boyfriend? No Problem! Dogs are always up for giving a little love. Anywhere or any time of the day they never refuse to cuddle up and take a nap. So if you love naps as much as I do, this is a match made in heaven.

4. They love to love, and they know when you need it the most


No matter who you are, dogs generally will love on you whether its the millionth time you've seen them or its the first time. Dogs also know when you're upset to believe it or not and that's when they try to give us the most love to cheer us up.

5. They will always be loyal to you

The best part of having a dog is that they will always stay loyal to their owner no matter what. Dogs are the most loyal pet you could ever own.Trust me you won't be disappointed!

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. 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:

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.
