Spank Your Dogs And Your Children If You Want To Raise Them Right
Dalle Rutledge

Just another Public Service Announcement from yours truly here, but spank your dogs and your children, please.

Now before you write me off as some animal or child abuser, hear me out. I'm using "spank" as a metaphor although you can take it literally if you want.

It's 2017 and the world is full of entitled and ill-minded pups, tots, teens, and mutts.Do you know why? Because apparently little children and puppies are just too cute to tell "NO". Mom and Dad are afraid to discipline Fido and Emily because "That's too mean," "That was naughty, but it was also so cute!" or "It's just a phase." Haha, alright. Well when, Fido grows up and he's no longer just chewing on sneakers but destroying the couch, and Emily has gone from kissing boys under the the jungle gym to 16 and pregnant, Mom and Dad have no one to blame but themselves.

"NO" has to be in the vocabulary of anyone that is thinking of taking on the responsibility of raising something or someone. I'm really sick of bratty children throwing the biggest tantrums in public because they got the wrong kind of ice cream. I'm sick of 12-year-old girls in crop tops. I'm sick of 22-year-old boys who think it's funny to disrespect women. I've had enough of dogs jumping up on me and licking me in the face. Personally, what comes to mind is the the stock mixes that run cows through the fence because their owner actually has no idea what they're doing and no business trying to train a cow-dog. Your shitty parenting is giving the decent humans of this generation a headache.

I get it, I don't have kids, and dogs are cute, but what I do have is a moral code enforced by a belt to my bare ass cheek a few times and a dog that listens.

Rant over.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
