6 Reasons Dogs Are The Best
Morgan Roberts

We're coming up on my dog's 10th birthday. So, in the spirit of celebrating pups, here's a list of reasons dogs are so lovable.

Side note: I just spent the better part of an hour looking at videos and pictures of dogs, so needless to say, this was an incredible article to write.

1. Puppies

Yes, puppies can be a pain. Training your pup isn't the funnest, sure, but think of the bonding experience! And how can you blame 'em, really? They are new creatures on this Earth, and they're trusting us to guide them and care for them. And just look at how smol.

2. Old Dogs

My girl, Andi (pictured below), is getting up there in age and it shows. She's always laying down, and won't get up unless she thinks it's worth it. Her sleek black fur, has flecks of grey that are especially prominent on her face/snout. Her eyes are glossy and she probably has cataracts. But older pups are so sweet and loving.

Old dogs are particularly special when they've been with you since puppyhood. Andi is my best pal, mostly because we've spent half of my life together. She knows when I'm sad and she comforts me. She freaks out when I come home on breaks. I just love her a lot. Old dogs are great.

3. They're So Silly

Puppy or not, dogs are funny. They do silly things all the time and they don't even know. Who needs TV when you have a dog? Prime entertainment.

4. They're Beautiful

From their eyes, to their fur, to the way they love. Dogs are just beautiful creatures.

5. You Can Admire Them From Afar in Public and It's Not Creepy

I think this point speaks for itself.

6. They Love You Unconditionally

My 3 year old cousin was getting annoyed with my dog, Matilda (pictured below), and locked her in her crate. If it were me and this kid had basically put me in jail, I'd probably be like "dude wth". But no. All she wanted to do was love him and be with him regardless of his actions.

Your dog doesn't care that you screwed something up at work or got into a fight with your parents, or whatever else you're stressing about. Yeah, sure, they don't really know what's going on, but ignorance is bliss and if that bliss is translated as unconditional love, I'm here for it. Here's a cute vine if you want more proof that dogs love us.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
