What Its Like Having A Puppy

"Hey, do you want see a picture of my dog?"

What Its Like Having A Puppy
Cassidy Springer

About three months ago, I rescued a 4-month-old labrador/beagle mix from my local rescue. I have always been a dog person (like a HUGE dog person) so I thought I was ready for it. Turns out, having a puppy is a lot like parenting and you really can't be ready for it. But, every early morning, eaten charger, and annoyed moment is worth the happiness that comes along with my puppy. I'm so thankful for this little life and all the love she comes with.

Early wake up alarms every day

At the same time every day I expect cuddles and kisses. Though it may be early, I'm totally okay with it.

They are so excited just to be around you

This includes so much love from them.

You can't get mad at them for too long when they do something wrong

Their guilty face is just too precious.

Teaching them a new trick makes you feel like a real parent

I know I get so proud.

Watching them play makes your heart so happy

Because them learning how the world works is so very entertaining.

Your dog will dominate your camera roll

"Hey do you want to see a picture of my dog?" and your camera roll will likely look like this:

Coming from someone who is obsessed with their puppy, they are a light of happiness. Although she may take up time and energy, she's worth every second.

If you or someone you know is interested in adopting a new dog, please check your local shelters! Adopt don't stop!

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.
