1. Tape pictures of our dogs onto our dorm room wall.

2. Count down the days until the next time we are going home to see our dogs.

3. Ask our parents/siblings to FaceTime us so we can talk to our dogs and see their faces.

4. Watch YouTube videos and movies that feature dogs (If we can't see our dogs, we might as well see someone else's!)

5. Sit on a bench off campus and admire all the dogs being walked by their owners.

6. Sometimes ask those owners if we can pet their dogs.

7. Lay in bed at night and wonder if our dogs miss us as much as we miss them.

8. Dream about reuniting with our dogs.

9. Browse the internet for cute sweaters and toys to torment our dogs with when we get home.

10. Cry a little when we realize that Winter Break is coming up, which means we'll have weeks to spend with our best friends.
