Growing up, I was always more of a dog person than a cat person. Given it could be because my dog loved me and my cat just loved to jump out and scare me. Anyways, I never considered myself a lover of pugs until about summer before senior year. But let's be real, they're the cutest thing alive. So here are seven things pugs are better than.

1. Drugs.

Because pugs not drugs, duh. Why get high when you can play and cuddle with a pug? It's a no brainer, let's be real. Drugs are also illegal, pugs aren't.

2. Boys.

Boys don't always last and aren't there forever; pugs are, though! Pugs are there for you through thick and thin. Through break ups and everything. They'll bring you more joy, sometimes even more than boys.

3. Technology.

Why stay inside sitting on a couch with the TV on while scrolling through your Insta feed when you can go outside and play with a pug! You get vitamin D and exercise while watching adorable self run around. I mean what could be better than that? Nothing.

4. Sports.

Pug cuddles over going to a sporting event in the hot sun that you honestly don't really want to go to.

5. Nickelback.

I mean come on, duh!

6. Shopping.

I know retail therapy is a girl's best friend but if you're a broke college student like some of us out there, why not look at cute pug videos or pictures to lower your stress level.

7. People

People let you down, pugs don't. You can be yourself around them and they will still love you for who you are.

See, they're just better than somethings out there.
