Puppies may be crazy and hyper, but they're a ball of fun! They're like a baby with fur and require a lot of work, but in the end, they're worth it for the relationship yourself or your family will make with them.

Dogs are many different things; there are service dogs and help those in need, there are police dogs that help police officers, there are wild dogs that live on their own, there are stray dogs that are left without a home, and there are dogs that are pets. The ones that are pets are the ones that we are most familiar with because we get to love on them and make them part of our family.

A best friend is someone who is always there for you and will cheer you up when you're sad. They constantly take care of you without you even asking them to. A dog is the definition of a best friend because if you love them and take care of them, they will do the same to you; they will look out for you when there is a threat near you, they will lick your tears when you cry, they will cuddle with you when you're sick, and they will stick by your side no matter what.

Growing up with a dog in your family is like growing up with another sibling. They play with you, they fake fight with you, they eat when you eat, and they make good pillows. When you're younger and have a puppy as your sibling, you learn to share everything, especially your food. You also have an automatic best friend at your fingertips. Instead of playing with an imaginary friend, you get a fun furry friend with four paws.

Dogs can help those who have a disorder or who are blind or who have no home. They are trained to lead the way of people who are blind and also trained to care for their human in every way they possibly can. They will sacrifice their life to save yours and are constantly on the lookout for threats or intruders near you. They help homeless people because they are someone to talk to and are also a nice cuddle buddy who will attempt to keep you warm. Dogs are trained to help their human, but they also have a two-sense that helps them care for their human as well.

Whether they are some sort of service dog or just your typical family dog, they serve a purpose in your life and that purpose is to be a best friend. The love and care that you give to them is what you will receive from them. If you love your dog like you love your best friend then they are your best friend.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
