5 Major Life Lessons We Can All Learn From Cats
Aaliyah Pina

November 16, 2015, was the day that I truly found my purpose in life. My purposes are 10 and 12 pounds. My purposes have big green eyes, and the most beautiful little faces I’ve ever seen.

They make me want to be the best person I can be, and they help me succeed in things I never thought I could do. My purposes never fail to make me happy when I’m sad and pick me up when I’m down. Since the moment they came into my life two years ago, they have been my number one priority and I couldn’t imagine life without them.

Here are some life lessons you can learn from cats:

1. Choose your friends carefully.


Cats make it know who they like and dislike, and are not afraid to show it! They stay far away from the people they dislike. While you may not want to be deemed upon as mean, you should be picky about the friends and company you choose to have.

2. Get a lot of sleep.


It is hard for busy people to rest, but if you have nothing to do take a nap! Make sure you get enough sleep, it does influence how you perform the next day and days to follow.

3. Show affection.


If you love someone, show it! Cats always show their affection whether it’s by purring or cuddling close, they make sure their love is known.

4. Look before you take a leap.


Before a cat jumps, it always looks and makes sure what they’re about to do is okay. Cats are very cautious and we should be too. As humans, we should carefully make decisions. Don’t take a leap without assessing and analyzing the situation.


5. Don't give up.


If you ever feel like giving up, do what your cat does and continue to try! Cats never give up until they get what they want.

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.
