How many people know what the BSL Law/Ban is?

Better question, how many people care?

This law, as a quick sum up of it, will now ban pit bull, staffordshire terriers, staffordshire bull terriers, or any breed of dog that has a mix of these breeds in it.

So now you ask well what about the people who already own these animals?

These people must pay a fine/tax to keep their beloved dog, have it microchipped, muzzled, proper tags on its collar, and there are certain leash lengths it must be held at if you want to take it on a walk.

Well, what about these breeds that are living in a shelter waiting for their furever homes?

Those dogs that are these three breeds or have one of these three in the genes, will be euthanized. They will never find their furever homes because of this law.

So why would they pass such a horrible law?

They passed this law because of fear, fear of their “large heads.” There were too many people who feared these breeds because these three breeds: pit bulls, staffordshire terriers, staffordshire bull terriers, are all used for dog fighting and are used as defense dogs to scare away unwanted people on private properties.

People need to remember that dogs are trained to be aggressive by their owners and not by how their genetics are evolving them.

Even though this law was passed in Montreal it can still be passed in the United States. Which means the many of places that do pit bull rescues will be shut down because all of those dogs will be euthanized.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
