To my future dog:

I don't know if you will have a name already, and if you don't, I don't know what I'll want to name you, but I have been waiting for you my entire life.

"Get one when you have your own place," my mother would say. So the day I bring you home will also be a huge milestone for me. Plus, years after looking at cute dog videos on my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, just know that you are the one.

Trust me.

From watching golden retrievers to little corgis, just know that I had to make one of the biggestdecisions of my life choosing the "first-right-dog" for me to bring home. Of course, if it was entirely up to me, I wouldn't have to choose and would bring fifty dogs back with me. (Sorry, Mom).

If you are a rescue: whoever left you on the streets or didn't give you the love and care you deserved, I'm glad I found you. I don't know who would even think to abandon your sweet face! Prepare to be spoiled for the rest of your life.

If you are the puppy I get from a neighbor's litter: it just so happened to be around the time I was looking for a dog! You were probably unexpected, from both my friend, and for me, but life is full of surprises and you happened to be the best one!

Whoever you are, we will go everywhere together (or at least to places I can take you!). I can't wait for our daily hikes or strolls around town (or the city if I end up there!). Night time cuddles, or days in during thunderstorms. If you come into my life as a puppy, maybe you can even grow up to see a family of my own.

But for now, I hope you don't mind my small condo or apartment space as I just start out. But I can't wait to start my life journey with my four-legged friend! Thank you for making my childhood dreams come true.

Lots of smooches for the pooches,

Your future owner.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
