What Being A Dog Or Cat Person Says About Your Personality
CDN

Dogs or cats? That is the age-old question. Your pet preference can say a lot about your personality in general.

If you prefer dogs...

... you probably have a lot of energy. You love being outdoors and taking a walk around the neighborhood with your dog is a fun activity you both can enjoy together. You love being around people, and you can't leave a family member or friend without giving him or her a big hug. Some of our favorite activities include cuddling with your significant other, enjoying some yummy food and engaging in physical activities. While you may enjoy physical activity, your favorite activity is napping on a nice, comfy bed. You go with the flow and and tend to be extremely forgiving. You are also extremely obedient and have no problem taking orders from your boss as long as they are as kind as you are. In fact, you tend to go over and beyond for people who treat you well. You love people, but you have a six sense for recognizing bad people. Your loving nature may make you trust people you shouldn't and your loyal personality makes you give these people more chances than they deserve. However, that's why people love to be around you.

If you prefer cats...

... you probably enjoy being by yourself most of the time. Sure, you enjoy being around your close friends and family, but you look forward to when you can go home and just enjoy some alone time. You don't really care for physical activity and would much rather curl up on the couch and watch your favorite movie or TV show. You like to work alone and would much rather be your own boss than work for someone else. You can be very nice, but people know not to cross you. You are not afraid to speak up when someone treats you badly. You are great at communication and are very straight forward. When you are happy, you purr. When you are unhappy, you scratch. No one has to wonder what you are thinking or feeling—you let them know. People tend to misunderstand you and take your bold personality as a sign to stay away. However, that just makes your friendships with the people who took the time to see through your rough exterior even stronger.

If you don't like either...

You're just crazy.

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.

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.
