13 Signs You're Slightly Obsessed With Your Pet
Play Buzz

They say your dog's your best friend, but have you ever caught yourself being obsessed? Most people take in a pet as a companion; however, pets soon become your entire life. If you share my pet obsession, all of these will apply to you.

1. You avoid going out with friends just so you can spend the night in with them.

Your pet will probably be jealous if you go out with the girlfriends, so you might as well stay in with him. Cuddles and pajamas all night!

2. You spend more money on pet toys than your wardrobe.

The pet store takes a majority of your money; luxury catnip and stuffed toys for pooch, discount sweaters for you.

3. You could knit a blanket with all of the pet hair that collects.

There’s no telling how much fur is in your house. In memory of your pet, you’ve thought about knitting a throw from his furs.

4. You refer to your pet as either your child or your sibling.

When you got your pet, he immediately took your last name and joined the family. Just an extra furry child, right?

5. Your social media is filled with pictures of your pooch.

The moment you see your cat in the cutest position, your first thought is "that would make a great Instagram post!"

6. Not to mention your Camera Roll…

And you can't just take one photo, so you snap until your heart's content.

7. Your fragrance of choice is kibble or litter.

Smelling like kitty litter or pet food is just one of the downsides of being a pet owner. But hey, it's almost as good as Chanel N°5, right?

8. You refuse to let your furry friend sleep anywhere other than your bed.

Cuddles all night are the way to go. Chances are, you've ditched the crate and are ready to snuggle up to your favorite animal.

9. In fact, you may start to like them more than your significant other.

Who's the third wheel in your marriage: the dog or the husband? The world may never know.

10. Pet-friendly hotels are the only place you’ll stay.

You'd never want your pet to miss out on a family vacation; pack his bags and hope he doesn't destroy the hotel pillows!

11. You begin to talk to your pet as if they can understand.

It's a good thing your pet can't talk, cause they'd spill all of your dirty secrets. In reality, your pet makes a great therapist.

12. Your pet is annoyed with how much you pet them.

If your dog could talk he'd yell at you for all of the attention he's getting, but the pet-obsessed can't help but give their pooch a pat.

13. Your famous one-liner is “I can’t, I’m on pet duty.”

You're either walking your dog, scooping the litter, or changing the cage. Pet duty is a major responsibility (and social life suicide) but it's all worth it when they snuggle up to you.

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.

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.
