You have to admit dogs have it pretty good. Here are just a few perks of being a dog.

1. The world is your toilet!

Dogs aren't expected to use toilets like humans. They go wherever they want! Just think of the freedom!

2. Sniffing butts is socially acceptable.

Dogs have pretty much no sense of personal space. They sniff each other's butts to get acquainted! You ever see humans sniffing each others butts? No, because that would be wierd. Humans just can't get away with that kind of stuff. Dogs though, manage to get away with this without any questions.

3. Licking people.

Why? Because they can. No one is really sure why dogs do this, but everyone just seems to accept it and let it be.

4. Naps!

Dogs take naps whenever and wherever they want. They have no pressing matters to attend to so naps are an option 24/7.

5. No job.

Of course there are exceptions to this: police dogs, service dogs, etc. However, dogs don't have the normal stresses that humans face like making money and paying bills. They don't have a lot of worries.

6. Low expectations

Honestly, most people don't expect a lot from their dogs. If you don't go potty in the house or chew up everything in the house, you're practically golden! Being a 'good dog' really isn't too difficult. With not a lot expected of them, dogs don't have many worries.

7. Treats

People give you treats all the time just because you are cute or for doing the most insignificant things like sitting or laying down.

8. No clothes

The freedom! Dogs aren't restricted by uncomfortable clothing. They can run around in the nude and no one freaks out. Humans aren't quite so lucky; running around in the nude is frowned upon in human societies. People can even be arrested for going out into public nude, but not dogs.

9. Taken care of by others

Like babies, dogs are taken care of by people, but unlike babies, even when dogs grow up they are still pampered and taken care of just the same.

10. Baths

Not only are dogs not expected to take baths near as often as people, but when they do take a bath, all they have to do is stand there while someone else washes and cleans them! Also drying off just takes a few shakes!

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.

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.
