Five Fun Facts About Corgis

Corgis - those cute little dogs with the stubby legs and perky ears. There are two distinct breeds of Corgis: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are the cutest of the two breeds, so this article will be all about them. They are likely one of the most adorable dog breeds to ever exist, and they're pretty cool too. Here are some fascinating facts about these little bundles of fluff.


They are the preferred transportation of fairies and elves.

This fact is the one that confirms that this is a dog breed that I must have some day. According to Welsh legends, Corgis are enchanted dogs, and Fairies and Elves ride them into battle.

Corgi means dwarf dog in Welsh.

They either got this name because of their stocky figure or their excellent mining skills.


Corgis used to be used as herding dogs.

They don't resemble sheep dogs or other herding dogs used today, but their short stature makes them the perfect height for biting the ankles of cows and other cattle, thus herding them in the right direction.


The Mega Corgi Monument in England is a major tourist attraction.

Haters will say it's Photoshop.


Cabbages are their mortal enemies.


Overall, Corgis are shining, golden snowflakes that will enhance your life and bring you great joy. They have proven themselves to be an exceptional dog breed. Smart, cute and loving - they are a great choice if you want to adopt a dog into your family.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
