The breed of all breeds.

In my 20 years of life, I have had the honor of owning four Labrador Retrievers. Thankfully they are all still alive, but I will say it loud and with too much confidence that the Labrador Retriever is the best breed of dog ever. So without further delay... here are all the reasons why labs are the best breed of dog.

1. They are incredibly friendly

When your arch nemesis becomes your bestie.

2. They're good with kids

Olivia Jacques

When I was a child, I used to dress my dog up and he would just sit there and take it.

3. Since they retrieve, they're great hunting partners

Or you can just throw a stick in the water and they can go after it.

4. They're very good running partners

Olivia Jacques

They're not small so they can keep up. They aren't mini-horses so you have control over your run.

5. They are quick learners

Major key especially when trying to potty train them.

6. You can choose which color lab you want

Olivia Jacques

You really can't go wrong, though.

7. They're loyal through it all

Olivia Jacques

Through thick and thin.

8. They are the CUTEST pups

Olivia Jacques

I mean, come on. Look at that face.

9. They really are your best friend

Olivia Jacques

Even though they are just dogs, at the end of the day they're so much more. They're just like a member of the family. They know when you're upset. They let you annoy them. They sit there when you vent to them and they're the best secret keepers.

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.
