Our Pets Don't Like Our Music

What do our pets like to listen to anyway?

We all love to cuddle up with our little furry friends while listening to our favorite songs, but did you ever wonder whether your pets like the same music as you?!

Believe it or not, pets (specifically cats) enjoy music but prefer a different kind of jam. Most of our pets at home enjoy more classical music and symphonies with a lot of piano. This style of music creates a very calming effect for pets and helps them relax, which can be good for stressful situations such as thunderstorms, construction, or even when you leave the house.

There are now composers who write music specifically designed for the cat listeners out there. They base the music off of the range of the cat's hearing, and even sounds they hear from the wild. According to PBS, cats like this music because it has similar frequencies and tempos that other species use for communication.

I wanted to see how true the idea that cats actually enjoy this style music is, so I played this for my two rescue cats that tend to have high anxiety. Instantly they both became intrigued by the music and started purring. Within a few minutes, they both were cuddled up to me with half shut eyes, wanting belly rubs.

I believe that this music is great for all pets, and there are even variations of it that you can play for them. For example, if you want to play with them, put on a song that has a bit faster tempo. Our pets are pretty much just like us, except with way more sensitive senses, so keep that in mind next time you're deep into a project, music blasting, with your fur babies in the house. Give this video a shot and see if it relaxes your cats!

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.
