There are so many amazing types of dogs in the world, but these are some of my personal favorites and some of the best to consider for your first pup.

1. Basset Hounds

Although Basset Hounds aren't crazy popular right now, they're such sweet dogs. Basset Hounds are perfect for families with kids because they're a very affectionate breed.

They are also very friendly towards other dogs and even strangers. Basset Hounds are the perfect dog to cuddle with, as they aren't too hyper and are very calm. A Basset Hound is perfect if you're looking to adopt your first dog.

2. Labrador Retrievers

Let's be honest, Labrador retrievers are adorable. In addition to this, they are a super helpful breed and can assist to the handicapped, or work as a service dog.

They love to be around people and other dogs, and they're very smart. If you're looking for an energetic dog to play fetch with or take along while you're out for a run, Labs are the one for you.

Beagles

Beagles are the perfect size dog for anyone and everyone. Not too big, not too small, and the perfect companion. Beagles are very fun loving and get along well with just about anyone. They are one of the friendliest dog breeds out there, which makes them the most precious pet.

4. Boxers

Boxers are very protective dogs and will take care of you no matter what. They're incredibly smart and active. Boxers are very playful and will be your best friend.

5. Cockapoos

From their cute smiles to their sweet eyes, you're bound to love Cockapoos. They are extremely people-oriented, and are easy to train. They're big forgivers and will love you unconditionally. They are great dogs for a person with a mental illness, because they will always be by your side. They love to sit on people's laps and be petted, which makes them the perfect therapy dog.

6. Corgis

Corgis love to be around people, and are very sweet. Although they shed a lot, they're the perfect friend. Just make sure you have a lint roller on you...at all times.

If you own one of these breeds, consider yourself lucky and make sure to give them unconditional love every single day.

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.

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.
