8 Reasons Pets Are Better Than People
Ashley Dickerson

Throughout my life, I have seen again and again why my pets are better than people. I'm here to share my findings because I'm sure I'm not the first to think this.

1. They are always happy to see you

It doesn't matter if you've been gone five minutes or five days, your pets are always excited to see you come home. Not only is it absolutely adorable, but it's a real confidence booster to see that someone likes you enough to get that excited by your appearance!

2. They're loyal

Giphy

Pets don't cheat. Pets don't lie. Pets don't talk crap about you behind your back. They may chew up your shoes or scratch your furniture, but the guilt on their faces afterwards is enough to know they don't mean it.

3. They won't tell your secrets

Pets are the best confidants because they will never tell your secrets. That may be because they can't, but it's still good reassurance knowing you can spill your guts to your pets and it will never leave the room.

4. Cuddling a pet is infinitely better than cuddling a human

Yep, this is me and one of my babies

Ashley Dickerson

Pets are soft and furry and have a lot more cushion than humans. Cuddling with my cats is so much cozier than cuddling with my boyfriend. (oops)

5. They don’t cause drama

You will never find a friend/significant other that doesn’t cause/bring SOME type of drama in your life. You can easily find pets that don’t/can’t add any extra drama to your life.

6. They’re easy to read

Ashley Dickerson

If my cat is angry/uncomfortable, she’ll bite me. If my dog is happy/excited, he’ll wag his tail. There’s no hiding their emotions like humans do, making it infinitely easier to give them what they need.

7. You can lock them in your room without getting charged for kidnapping

Ashley Dickerson

If I want to spend time with my pets, they don’t really have a choice. All I have to do is lock them in my room and they’ll be stuck with me. If I do that to my boyfriend it would be “inappropriate” and “illegal”.

8. THEY. ARE. SO. STINKIN'. CUTE.

Ashley Dickerson

I mean, come on. No person can be as cute as my pets, sorry.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
