A Thank You To My Pets
Jovanni Santiago

My whole life I have never not had an animal in my house. Whether it was a dog, bird, fish, or frog we always had something. I have learned so much from my pets and I am forever grateful. They do so many things to make us laugh. Having pets is so amazing because each one comes with its own personality, which makes them all so different and fun to watch. So, my pets here is what I thank you for.

1. Thank you for always giving me a laugh

Even when I have the worst day I can always come home and rely on you to make me laugh. You can always sense that I am upset and know exactly what to do. Because of you I will never have a gloomy day because at the end of each one I get to come home to you.

2. Thank you for teaching me how to take care of something other than myself.

You have taught me that you need taking care of to. You have showed me what responsibility is and most importantly how to take care of you. Having you has taught me to make sure you have food, water, and that you're clean. Thank you for trusting me to take care of you.


3. Thank you for helping me decide what I want to do with my future.

Because of you I have made the decision to help not only you, but other animals as well. I have learned that taking care of you is my passion. There is nothing else in the world I'd rather do than spend my whole day with animals. I have learned that you and many other animals mean so much to us people and the world, so why not join in on helping keep you all healthy?


4. Most importantly, thank you for teaching me how to love.

I have learned so much from having you in my life, but the most important of all is that you have taught me how to love. You showed me how important it is for an animal to receive the same love that you give. No animal deserves to be mistreated and abandoned and I have learned that because I have you. Your love is unconditional and mine is to you as well. Thank you for teaching me to have an open heart no matter what kind of animal comes my way.

To all my pets I thank you for the life lessons I have learned from you. I hope I have taught you things as well.

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.

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?
