You Know When You're A Crazy Dog Mom When....
LiketoKnowit

We have not given birth but we are definitely moms, our babies just have four legs and fur. We feed them, bathe them, take them to the doctor, give them medicine when they need it, keep them updated on their shots, buy them treats and toys, protect and shelter them and most importantly we love them unconditionally and spoil them to pieces. Sometimes us as dog moms take it a tad too far but we love it and will never stop. If these describe you then you are definitely a crazy dog mom!

1. You have found yourself an hour deep into your pinterest binge and you look back to realize the only thing you have successfully pinned is things for the pups. DIY treats and toys, different ways to make them cute beds and pillows to sleep on and different hacks for baths and cleaning up after them.

2. You're out shopping and you just happen to somehow wind up in the pet supplies section getting wide eyed about the cute things you can potentially buy for the dogs. You want to spice it up and get them new treats, or even add in the new bone and wait was that a sweater....

3. You always have to have them in family pictures and selfies because I mean c'mon they're the fur babies and they deserve to be recognized as a family member too. Also you get to brag about how cute they are to your friends and family.

4. You want to bring them literally everywhere, which means you start googling what places allow dogs and if they give out special treats when you bring them too. You feel bad by leaving them home because they (we) would miss them too much.

5. You try to incorporate the pups in every activity you do. A night playing drinking games? Theres dog beer for that. Decorating for Christmas and the holidays? There are ornament kits and DIY's for that. Painting your nails for the holiday party? The dogs nails must match too! Online shopping? BUY THEM EVERYTHING.

6. You start making plans for the weekend, vacations and big events but you make them around whether the pups can come or for the time you have to leave to get home to them. Can't bring them? Okay you're leaving early so the pups don't think you're not coming back and that you don't love them anymore.

7. You either have or have thought about buying those matching bracelet and collars for you and you're dog because obviously you're best friends and need to prove it.

8. You talk about them to your friends and family like they are legitimately humans. Friends have pointed out that you love them a lot because of how often they come up in conversation no matter what it is.

9. You give them voices after they do something bad or funny to make the situation hilarious. You think it is the voice they would have if they really could speak and you use it very often too.

10. You find yourself talking to them like they're going to actually answer you. You talk to them like someone is in the room having a conversation with you already You ask them whats wrong or what they want to do like you can understand the different tones of bark that come out of their snouts.

11. And last but not least you know every second you're not with them your heart break just a tad because you love seeing their smiling faces, wagging tails, jumps of joy and their playful acts.

Being a dog mom is a gift, our dogs give us a reason to smile every day and keep their tails wagging.

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.
