A Love Letter to My Dogs
Nicole Myhre

Dear Maggie and Sailor,

I don't even know where to begin. You guys really are the best plain and simple. Its hard to put into words how much you really mean to me. The simple fact that you are both sitting on the couch with me as I write this to you shows that you love me just as much as I love you. There are so many great qualities about you guys I really just don't know where to begin to express how amazing you guys are.

I think one of the best things about you is that you guys love me unconditionally. I could accidentally bump you with a cabinet door or throw the ball into the bush, but that doesn't change how excited you get when I walk through the door or call you into my room,. You always come with the same amount of excitement and It rubs off on me. You're always down to hang, and you don't keep score against people when they do something you don't like. you both forget the wrongs and move on which is something I could really learn from y'all.

Another lesson I can take from you guys is that naps are not over rated. I have never met two dogs that sleep as much as you guys do in my entire life, and you guys don't just sleep- you SNORE. But, neither of those things is bad. I really could take a couple more naps and I'm sure my quality of life would go up for sure. Thank you for being such good nappers and showing me that its okay to sleep whenever and wherever I want to.

To Maggie, Im so thankful to have had you in my life while I've been growing up. You aren't getting any younger, but thirteen years old looks good on you girl. I'm proud of you for overcoming your hearing loss and still being such a spunky pup. You're just as fun and weird as the day we brought you home and I love you so much.

Sailor, you are insane, but I love you bud. When we finally decided that we wanted Maggie to have puppies and my parents decided we were going to keep one, I'll be honest and say you were definitely not my first choice of the litter. You were the runt and all your brothers and sisters picked on you so bad but i'm really happy we ended up with you. I've never met a dog who likes cuddles as much as you do and I'm really happy that you'll sit on my lap whenever I want you to. You're a pain in the butt, but I think I speak for the family when I say that we wouldn't want It any other way.

I love you guys so much,

Lilly

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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!

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.
