This Is Just A Little Article I Decided To Write About Our Bird.

My little brother saw an African Love Bird at one of my softball tournaments in Maryland and decided right there and then that he wanted a pet bird. He began to do some research on Lovebirds and my parents finally caved and said he could get one. So our family got a tiny bit bigger and we ended up with a small cute bird named Janus.

At first I was terrified of this tiny little bird. He would crawl all over me and fly towards me and for some reason it scared me to death! Eventually I got over my little fear and was really excited to have this bird be a part of our family. It’s so cute how he likes to climb into shirts and just sit there all warm and happy and how he likes to sit with you and fall asleep on your shoulder. Now, I can’t stand the monster. He bites me constantly, poops all over me, and chirps extremely loudly in my ear. He’s so tiny and when he flies off his perch it takes forever to find him. He makes a mess of everything, spilling water and food all over his cage and all over the floor, and every time I walk past his cage I step on something gross! He bites my phone, my laptop, bracelets, earrings, and basically anything that he can get near. He is afraid of everything so going close to him with something new will freak him out and he’ll go bezerk!

When I returned from college Janus was actually really nice to me, I figured he missed me. Well, that lasted a solid two minutes. He went right back to his old self, biting me and pooping on everything I own. I can’t stand Janus and sadly the life span of African Love Birds is 15 to 20 years, so I’ll be dealing with this annoying monster for quite a long time. I love Janus and all (only because he’s a part of our family and my brother loves him) but NEVER will I EVER get another pet bird. Sadly, my month of being home will end soon and I will miss all my friends and family, but I’m also extremely excited because I won’t have to deal with this devil of a bird for a little while.

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.

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.
