The world is a very dark place right now. There seems to be a new terrorist attack, mass shooting or police brutality video on our news feeds every day. This presidential election is vitriolic, hateful and marred with infighting. Our environment is collapsing and it’s questionable that we have the will or ability to save it. Prince died. It feels like we’re looking down into a black empty tunnel, wondering if there’s a light at the end of it or if there even is an end.

Here are some videos of animals being silly to make you feel better.

1. Cat barks like a dog, only to stop when found out.


Why are you doing that, cat?

2. Bird yells into cup.


Look at that bird being silly. I feel like screaming into cups sometimes.

3. Puppy tries to catch ball.


That puppy tried to catch the ball but didn’t have the coordination to succeed. I think that’s pretty funny.

4. Corgi tries to reach ball.


That corgi is trying his best, but he just can’t do what he wants. It’s funny that he’s getting frustrated at something he can’t change about himself.

5. Dog tries to get stick into house.


Another dog trying his best. I’m starting to realize that these videos are laughing at dogs who can’t comprehend why things are going so poorly for them. Now I’m starting to feel bad again.

6. Dog hits guy in face.


Yeah. Hit that guy in the face. I feel like hitting people in the face a lot these days.

7. Dog kicks sand onto annoying girl.


Yeah! It’s gratifying to watch someone reap what they sow, even if it’s something as petty as sand being thrown on an annoying child. At least karma exists on some small scale.

8. Parrot is surprised.


Even though it’s just a parrot with the cognitive ability of a toddler, it possess the vocabulary and self-awareness to express shock. The bird is just as confused as we are. But while we know what the bird doesn’t, that the loud noise came from the toy, we find ourselves asking the same question: What the hell was that? After everything we see in the news: What the hell was that? What the hell is going on?

Much like the bird, we don’t know.

I don’t feel any better. I think I did this wrong.

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.
