The Reason I'm Not Able To Travel

If you have any issues, take it up with my cat.

The Reason I'm Not Able To Travel
TravelandLeisure

I don't travel much. I never did. Traveling is hard for me, not only because I'm poor and have no free time at all, but traveling is hard because I'm too attached to my cat and he gets far too paranoid for me to leave. I'm sorry.

If you can't understand, allow me to explain this a bit more for you.

As a child, I never traveled. My parents never owned a car and we lived off a fairly low income then as well. Because of our situation, we never really left the city so traveling was never a priority of mine. Sure, I love long car rides with music blasting (all the cliche best friend stuff). But, it's never really something I expected to happen or really desired. Once my cat came into my life, this all intensified much more.

When I met my cat, or as I'd like to call him, my son, he was a tiny little baby living in my backyard. Immediately, we grew a bond like no other. Anyone that sees him interact with me say they've never see a cat bond so well with a human. Before we took him into my home, I would always sneak outside and feed him food. This probably played a role in why he would never leave our yard. Eventually, he became part of the family and we took him into our home. From then on, my cat and I grew up together. He's been through almost every stage of my awkward teenage years with me, and still accepts me.

Over the years, my cat learned my daily routine. He knows when I leave for work and when I come home, and if I'm home later than I should be, he actually screams at me. No lie, my cat will sit on the coffee table and meow at me until I sit down. In actuality, my cat suffers from severe separation anxiety. It's getting pretty bad actually.

But in conclusion, I'm really sorry I'm not able to go out as much as you would like me too. I'm also sorry I'm not able to travel around with everyone as much as it's wished I would. It's not against you or anything, but my cat needs me.

If you have any issues, take it up with my cat.

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.
