Macbeth's My Lifesaver

You won't understand unless you're a cat lady

Macbeth's My Lifesaver

Waking up in the morning to dishing clinging onto the ground, scratching at the door because he wants into my room, ruining the carpet while he's at it, and empty toilet paper rolls in the bathroom.

These are not the reasons I miss my cat.

I have a little kitten, well, he's pretty big now, but he's still a kitten to me. His name is Macbeth; Mac for short. Mac is the perfect little pet for me. He cuddles with me and loves watching Netflix when no one else will. He's also a good homework helper, that is if you count sitting on your computer keyboard while you're trying to type an essay that's due in three hours and batting around the pen you're using to check of important points in your essay help.

Macbeth, you can say, saved me. He helped me get out of the rut I was digging myself into and helped me see the brighter side of things. Even though he's a cat, and he can be some work, he helped me get a laugh or two out and helped calm down my anxiety.

He is one of my favorite things. He was gift to me over Spring Break from my friends. They knew that I needed help with my anxiety, so getting me a kitten was the most appropriate answer for that. He's the best little thing to become mine in a while. He cuddles with me when I'm awake, he cuddles with me when I'm asleep, he cuddles with me, well, always. When I let him anyway.

But I don't get my cuddles from him a lot anymore.

He had to move back home with my momma while I'm still going to school because I couldn't find a home for rent that allowed pets.

I miss my cat because he's my emotional stress animal. He's my support. He's my feline. I love Mac, and he will always be my kitty.

Until next time when I can drive three hours home, I'll see you soon buddy.

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.
