We love you, even when we annoy each other.

An Open Letter To Pets Everywhere
Alyssa Dugasz

Dear pets,

Us owners know that sometimes you feel unappreciated. We don't mean to kick you off our laps (sorry, we really just needed to stand up) or out of your favorite nap spot (seriously, why don't you use your own bed instead of our backpacks). And no, we don't let you eat all of the random human foods that you beg us for (some of those are poisonous to you, and you're supposed to be on a diet anyway). But we do love you a lot, and we were very thankful for you this Thanksgiving.

Finals are about to kick up and a cuddle session with you was just what we needed. You're always there to help us destress and make us laugh after a bad day. Knowing that you'll be there to give us cuddles even if we don't pass our finals helps us make it through the end of the semester. Science has proven that pets help people manage stress and we can all give testament to that. We can't wait to be back home for break so we get back to giving you lots of love.

We promise that you'll be getting lots of toys and treats under the tree this year. You're our best friend and nothing makes us as happy as when you're going nuts over a squeaky toy (even when you wake us up at 4 a.m. and drop it on our faces).

Even when we're scaring you with cucumbers (sorry) or giving you a bath, we love you like crazy. Nothing makes us as happy as when you pick our lap to curl up on. You are our best friend and there's nothing as important as that.

We just want you to know how much we love you and how much we appreciate you.

Sincerely,

Your Owners

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.
