Cat person or dog person. The choice is make or break. The answer can bring people together or tear them apart.

For a while I've always shied away from the question. I love both, I’d say. I just love animals. But recently I have come to realize that there is no denying it anymore.

I am 100% a dog person.

And I’ve been thinking about this for a while. About this label that I am forced to put on myself. But I have come to realize being a dog person is AMAZING. I love that I’m a dog person.

So here are my 7 reasons why dogs really are the best friend a person can have.

1. You will never be alone.

Your dog will always be there for you, waiting for some love and treats. You can talk to him/her about your day, your issues. Literally your dog is your own personal therapist.

2. You will never waste food.

Dogs are kind of like garbage disposals. THEY EAT EVERYTHING!! Obviously don’t give them that last piece of chocolate cake. But that last piece of cheese? Go for it.

3. You will know if there is an intruder... most of the time.

A lot of dogs are seriously great barkers. They train for it. They will bark and bark and bark their foolish heads off. And while that is annoying… think about it this way. They are protecting you!

4. Their personalities are uncanny. Each one is unique.

My dog’s inside voice sounds nothing like my sister’s dog. Even though they are the same breed. Each dog literally has such a unique personality. They are literally just like humans with different interests and tastes. It’s amazing.

5. They’ll work out with you… and enjoy it!

Want to go for a walk? A run? A bike ride? Your dog is down! You may not be able to find a gym buddy, but your dog will certainly walk with you and never complain. Not once. Actually he/she will probably enjoy the extra time with you.

6. They actually never complain about anything.

Dogs always seem happy! They love you! They just want to be with you and make you happy!

7. Every time you come home it’s like you haven’t been home in weeks.

Best welcoming committee ever!!! Nothing is better than coming home from a long day and having your dog(s) jump all over you with love and kisses.

So there you have it, my reasons why dogs will always hold the key to my heart.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
