A Thank You To My Pets
Jovanni Santiago

My whole life I have never not had an animal in my house. Whether it was a dog, bird, fish, or frog we always had something. I have learned so much from my pets and I am forever grateful. They do so many things to make us laugh. Having pets is so amazing because each one comes with its own personality, which makes them all so different and fun to watch. So, my pets here is what I thank you for.

1. Thank you for always giving me a laugh

Even when I have the worst day I can always come home and rely on you to make me laugh. You can always sense that I am upset and know exactly what to do. Because of you I will never have a gloomy day because at the end of each one I get to come home to you.

2. Thank you for teaching me how to take care of something other than myself.

You have taught me that you need taking care of to. You have showed me what responsibility is and most importantly how to take care of you. Having you has taught me to make sure you have food, water, and that you're clean. Thank you for trusting me to take care of you.


3. Thank you for helping me decide what I want to do with my future.

Because of you I have made the decision to help not only you, but other animals as well. I have learned that taking care of you is my passion. There is nothing else in the world I'd rather do than spend my whole day with animals. I have learned that you and many other animals mean so much to us people and the world, so why not join in on helping keep you all healthy?


4. Most importantly, thank you for teaching me how to love.

I have learned so much from having you in my life, but the most important of all is that you have taught me how to love. You showed me how important it is for an animal to receive the same love that you give. No animal deserves to be mistreated and abandoned and I have learned that because I have you. Your love is unconditional and mine is to you as well. Thank you for teaching me to have an open heart no matter what kind of animal comes my way.

To all my pets I thank you for the life lessons I have learned from you. I hope I have taught you things as well.

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.
