To The Pet We Lost too Soon

We adopted you six months ago, and you were so energetic. Just barely a year old, we were sure we would have more time with you. But all too soon you got sick. Sick and we couldn't figure out what was wrong. We took you to the vet, and we tried to feed you and give you medicine. But you just couldn't regain your strength.

Losing a pet is hard, and they say it's harder the longer it's been. But I have to say, that's not true. It doesn't matter if they've been with you for 10 years or 6 months, the pain hurts all the same. The tears fall either way.

Tonight we came home and found that you had passed. It broke my heart. I may not have had much time with you, but the day we picked you out is suck in my head. I took mom in just to look, and sure enough we fell in love. The next day you came home with us. You were ours. We brought you home and let you roam, you were now the king.

I've lost cats before, but neither one hurt as bad as this one did. Tiggs we said goodbye to ten years ago, right after we moved in. She was old, and it was time. That day I cried. Then a year and a half ago we lost George, and that one hurt too. He had been a Christmas present, and I didn't want to believe it was true. But tonight, tonight when we discovered Bob had gone, I couldn't stop the tears.

You were only 15 months old. A baby. You had so much life yet to live. We had so many conversations that were yet to be had. You didn't get to hear me complain about anything. You didn't get to comfort me while I cried. You didn't even get to kick me out of my bed in the middle of the night. One day you were here, and the next you were gone.

We lost you all too soon. I wish we could have saved you. I wish you didn't have to be that sick. I love you, oh so much. You were fearless, energetic, and crazy enough to love us all as much as we love you.

Rest in peace Bob. We love you.

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.
