A Letter To My Owner

Where do our dogs think we go when we are at college?

A Letter To My Owner
Vogue Sugar

Dear Owner,

You're door has been shut for what seems like forever and I am scared you are trapped. I have made desperate attempts to slam and lay my body against it to let you know that I am waiting outside for you, but you never let me in anymore. These failed attempts usually cause mom to place me in the laundry room, which leads me to the assumption that mom has locked you away in your room and will not let you out. I do not want you to worry because as soon as I am let out of my confinement I will be back at your door attempting my signals again.

Last night, mom threw out my favorite squeaky pig. I am trying to stand my ground in protest by running away when she tries to take me outside. She does not laugh the way you do when I squeak my toys all by myself. You always giggle and show how proud you are of me by rubbing my belly. I find gratitude in my hard work of squeaking because it calls for a lot of muscle work which can become extremely tiring. Mom seems to become frustrated with my talents of squeaking and usually takes away my toys. She places them as high up as she can out of my reach. The toy mocks me from the tall towers it lies on. I know that if you were here you would give me my squeaky toys back. You always treat me with extra love and care. Of course, mom does feed me and takes great care of me, but it's not the same without you here.

Every morning when I make my daily routine to your door to see if you will come out and play, mom asks me where you are. I find this puzzling because she should know where you are since she has you hidden away in your room, but she makes it seem as if you are gone. That is why I am writing this letter to you, so that if you are gone I can tell you to please come home. I have noticed other times you have left the house and it scares me because you never use a leash. The world can be very dangerous if you are not on a leash, which I know from experience because you never let me go outside without my leash and I have always been safe. Also, how are you eating? Mom makes everyone dinner every night and I am worried that you are not eating. More importantly, I miss you. I miss how you would give me extra treats even when I don't do the tricks you ask. I miss how you sneak me extra bacon every Sunday morning even though mom says it will hurt my tummy, which it never does because bacon is the greatest food ever made. I miss how you let me sleep in your bed every night and how you will voluntarily tickle my tummy until I fall asleep. I miss you throwing my toys far across the room and letting me bring it back to you for you just to do it all over again. That is my favorite game we play. I miss hearing you come home everyday then barking like you're an intruder, but then to my surprise it is just you, which is always the best surprise. I do not know where you are or why you left but please come home soon.

With lots of puppy love,

Your best friend

P.S. Mom keeps talking about this thing called college. What is that?

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.
