A Letter To My Greyhounds

I love my crazy, sweet greyhounds!

Dear Autumn and Troy,

I know you have an extremely short attention span, but please read this. First, I miss you both so much! I miss petting you, Autumn, and hearing your sighs as I would pet you, and yes, bother you when you were relaxing. I miss how much love you would give to me, Troy, except when you would growl at me. I remember how scared I was when I first met you both, especially you, Autumn, but you both have been some of the most loving, sweetest dogs out there.

When we dropped you guys off at Michelle and Jerry's to watch you, I was so sad, knowing that it would be months until I would see you guys. Pictures aren't the same as seeing you two run around. I remember how fast you both would eat and how you would steal some of Autumn's food, but I admire how mature you have become, Troy. Even if it was by a little and not a lot.

It's funny how much love I had when a few years ago I couldn't understand how someone could love a dog so much. Now how can I not love you guys? I always say how much I love and miss you both, even in front of strangers. I always brag about how sweet and cute you both are. Even to my friends who have their own dogs. But I can't help but be one of those crazy dog people.

Not only have you both changed me, but I have changed both of you. Autumn, you have become more feisty and mischievous, yet you are still the sweet little dog we met almost two years ago. Keep sticking up to Troy and don't be scared (even though I'm still scared of him.) Troy, keep being sweet and for heaven's sake, stop chewing things up. Keep getting exciting when people come by. I'm so excited to see you run around.

Anyways, I have to do homework while you both have to nap. I love you both so much.

Love, Sarah

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
