Please, mom. I'm begging.

You're Worried I'll Be Lonely

What better way to ensure that I will always have someone I can talk to, rely on to comfort me, and bring me joy during my saddest times. Having a cat will allow me to have someone to spend time with while my human friends are busy with work, other friends, personal lives, etc.

I am living on my own for the first time, which means it is the perfect opportunity to introduce a pet into my life.

Cats Need to be Adopted

Take a look at the Springfield Humane Society's website. You will see that A LOT of cats are needing homes right now. Especially older cats, which is the kind of cat I want! They are all so cute and need so much love.

Who am I to see this happen and not do my part to help? Didn't you raise me to ALWAYS help those in need?

It Will Help Me Grow

During my three years at school, I have figured out the whole "taking care of myself" thing. Now, I should move on to taking care of something else. Something more than a plant or a hedgehog.

You Didn't Want to Get a Dog Either

Before we got our dog, you were adamantly against it! Now, the two of you are best friends. She was supposed to be my dog and I hardly get to see her! I deserve to get love from a furry friend as much as you do.

Please

I'm asking really nicely. All of my friends also think it's a good idea. I think it's the best idea. It helps all parties involved in the matter. You can even help me pick them out.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
