10 Nicknames I've Given My Cats Because If You Call Them Their Real Name, You're Doing It Wrong
Alyssa Anderson-Larson

My cat has a name. Why wouldn't she have one? I didn't pick it out, but it suits her and I really like it. That being said, I never call her by her actual name. I have an assortment of nicknames that I've given her instead. Some have been created for convenience, others because they hold a note of truth.

All of them are fun and adorable!

1. Sebbe. 

A lot of people who know my cat think this is her full name, but it's actually a very clever nickname. Just like how some people named Jason go by Jay, or how some people named Christopher go by Chris. My cat Sebastian goes by the name Sebbe. Not only is it more gender neutral, but it's also objectively cuter.

2. Seb. 

Sometimes things are better when they're only one syllable. It's nice to have a quick way to refer to my cat.

3. Soob. 

What's better than one syllable? One syllable that's funny to spell and to say.

4. Sebboop. 

Another funny-sounding one that I use almost exclusively while booping her snoot.

5. Sebster. 

This one makes it feel like my cat is the comic relief in a '90s movie (which is hilarious mostly because she's too much of a bloodied hunter to ever fulfill such a role.)

6. Boo. 

Some people have significant others that they can call Boo. I'm single, and I have a cat. That's all I'm gonna say.

7. Boo Boo. 

A cuter version of the above nickname, and also her legal middle name. It's somewhat of a reference to the fact that she's the embodiment of Halloween, and somewhat a reference to a stuffed animal I own named Boo Boo Kitty. I mostly like it because it's a sweet name my grandpa can call her.

8. Kitty. 

I feel like it's important for Sebbe to know her heritage, so I like to remind her of her species every now and again. I worry it might be derogatory, but she seems to respond well to it so I think it's okay.

9. Honey. 

I call her this because she can be sweet, but more than anything she makes a big mess and heavily inconveniences me all the time.

10. Dumbass. 

Because she is. She's an absolute, idiot, and a dummy of a cat with no sense of anything. I've never met a creature more stupid than she is. I love her, though, and she's my favorite.

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.
