Full disclosure, I call every dog a puppy. It doesn't matter how big, small, fat, skinny, old, or young, the dog is...it's a puppy. So prepare yourself to be convinced! You're going to find yourself looking up shelters near you, immediately following this article.

You're welcome.

1. First of all...have you ever seen a puppy?

That should be reason enough.

2. They're perfect traveling partners! 

They love cars as much as you love your destination, and they'll be happy just being with you!

3. They NEVER stop being photogenic...even 12 years later.

Dogs are a lifelong commitment, and they age WAY better than you will.

4. They look freaking adorable with Santa! 

Local shops and shelters will do pictures with Santa for free or low cost! Look how cute...

5. A doggo in the shelter is calling your name...

There are so many dogs that will be spending Christmas in the shelter if you don't adopt them, or worse. Consider adopting!

6. You'll never be alone... 

Not when you're sleeping. Not when you're awake. Not ever.

7. They look good all wrapped up...

Who could resist a corgi-in-a-box?

8. All they want to do is love you! 

Or let you love them...

9. You'll never stop smiling...

Until they chew up your shoes, or eat all your toilet paper or knock over the garbage. At least they're cute!

10. There's nothing better than a gift that lasts forever! 

They'll be with you for their whole life...what could top that?

Consider adopting a furry friend into your family today!

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.

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.
