Dogs are the greatest gift God has ever given us humans. They love you and are always happy to see you. They are big fur balls that are great for snuggling with and whom you can tell your secrets to and never be judged. I love dogs and every little thing about them, but dogs can be a handful.

Hair

There is hair EVERYWHERE! It gets all over your clothes and finds its way into your food and every other thing possible.

Lint Rollers

There never seems to be enough lint rollers in the house. They last for about two days and I can never seem to find them when I need them enough.

Walks

I love walking my dog. We both get exercise and some fresh air. However, walking your dog in the winter, when it’s below freezing out and snow is on the ground, SUCKS!

Scaredy-Cat

I don’t know if it’s just my dog or not, but my dog is afraid of everything. He’s afraid of cameras, fireworks, and backpacks so it’s hard to get him to do anything that I wan him to.

Begging

My dog begs so much! He sits next to me and puts his head on my leg and he’s just so cute that I can’t say no. I end up giving half of my food!

Smelly

MY DOG REAKS! No matter how many times I bathe him, he still smells horrible. Sometimes I don’t want to pet him so the smell doesn’t get on my hand.

Never Listening

My dog doesn’t ever listen to me. I tell him to come and he just does whatever he wants. He only ever does what he is told when there is food involved.

Even though dogs are a handful, I wouldn’t trade my dog, or my sister’s dog, or my brother’s dog for anything in the world. I love them all and I love the happiness they give me and the companionship.

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.
