No One Will Love You as Much as Your Dog Does

They really are angels with fur.

I never knew what pure love was until I found myself running around a strangers front yard, chasing a tiny and energetic Cocker Spaniel puppy; with ears flopping carelessly, and tongue out in pure happiness, I knew at that moment how much I already loved this dog. My mom and I drove three hours out of town to bring that little bundle of joy into our lives and looking back at it now, I would have circled the world five times over for that dog. Holding my puppy for the first time was one of the best moments of my life, and I am sure every dog owner would agree.

As much as we love our dogs, it is undeniable that we will never love them half as much as they love us. I mean, have you ever seen a tail wag as fast as it does when your dog sees you walk through the doors? That right there is pure joy. Think about it, the sight of you makes your dog run around in circles, jump up and down, and cover you in slobbery kisses, all because their favorite person in this whole world is now standing in front of them. On top of that, no matter how angry you might get at them, or the number of times you might ignore them because you're having a bad day, they will understand, and proceed to love you even more. You are the light in their life and nothing could change that.

Another indicator that your dog loves you as much as their little hearts can let them, is the fact that they will never, and could never, forget you. I have been in college for three years now, and I only make it home just a couple times a year, yet my dog seems to get more and more excited to see me each time. You would think after months of not seeing you around the house, a dog will begin to lose some memory of you-but no-somehow while you are away all that time, their love for you grows even greater, and when they see you, their tales wag even faster.

Forget Thanksgiving and Winter Break there needs to be a week dedicated to going home just to see your dog-preferably sometime after Midterms as to help cope with the stress. A cuddle session with your furry best friend will no doubt make all those all-nighters in the library worth it. As a matter of fact, universities around the country, if you're reading this, just let us bring our dogs into the library as much needed emotional support. We promise we will not engage in dog fighting, and will certainly let you pet them if you ask.

I'm not sure if angels exist, but I know that our dogs come pretty darn close. We live our lives to take care of them, and they live their lives in hopes of making us as happy as one could possibly be. They love us unconditionally and undeniably, even after we use a vacuum in front of them.

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.
