A Spider Eulogy

I’m sorry for your loss and hopefully we can make peace.

Oh Spider,

I’m sorry you had to die, because I would like to think you were a very nice spider. You probably had friends or family who miss you dearly now that you’re gone. Or maybe I’m just humanizing you and you really don’t have any family or friends the way people do, nobody misses you or wishes you were still here. Maybe you are a big hairy black scary thing that even other spiders want to smack with a newspaper, (do spiders have newspapers? Probably not… maybe like a heavy leaf or something).

Well whether your kind or mine actually liked you or not, we may never know but hopefully before I crushed you in a door, stepped on you or let my dog eat you, you fulfilled some dream that you had or did something fun other than run rampant around outside and causing little children to be scared of you forever. I hope that at some point our two species can live in peace with each other but if not, maybe you guys could stop being so scary?

We humans should maybe try to stop killing you but then you might overtake the world and that just can’t happen, unless maybe having spiders rule the world would solve a lot of our world’s problems, because spiders probably don’t have politics, they don’t drive cars, and they don’t cut down rainforests just because they can. Maybe you spiders have a point...Maybe we need to have a meeting between the leaders of the spiders and the leaders of the human world to make peace and figure out how spiders and humans can stop killing each other and make the world a better place. Maybe you spider needed to die for me, a human, to have this major realization about our two species. I think we’re onto something. To the rest of your fellow spiders, I’m sorry for your loss and hopefully we can make peace.

Sincerely,

The human race

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.

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.
