My dog is my person and you need to understand these 10 things before dating me.

There will always be blankets covering the couch

No, it is not because shes cold, well it might be, but it is to keep from the dirty paws and dog hair from getting all over the cushions. It's either blankets or going full old lady from the 50's mode and just covering them in plastic, which is just not a good look or feel (sorry, grandma).

 She can deal with the gross stuff

She's picked up more than dog poop, so there is no freaking out over stuff that is a little disgusting. This doesn't mean it is okay to break out your dirty bathroom jokes or that shes completely immune to anything displeasing.

You'll probably be spending more time at her house than anywhere else

Home is where the dog is, plus that pup isn't going to feed or let him self out to go to the bathroom. Chances are she's thinking more about her dog than anything else, so she wouldn't dream of leaving him alone for a extended period of time anyways.

 You can't just spontaneously steal her away for a weekend

In addition to reason 3, if she does leave for a while plans have to be made in advance for a dog sitter and that can be difficult at the last minute. Bonus points if you take care of that ahead of time though ;)

She will spend a ridiculous amount of money on her dog

Since becoming a dog owner, its nearly impossible to go into the store without going down the pet isle and buying something for the pup. Plus, there is vet visits, food, walks, and between all of that she is putting a decent amount down. Don't judge her, he's family and it's just what you do.

She expects to be loved by you, like she is by her pooch

The only love she's known is how to be loved by her dog, so in some ways you will probably be compared to him.

​You can expect 10000 pictures or videos of her dog

You just left five minutes ago, but just recieved three videos from her and counting? Since you left you're missing all of the cute stuff that the dog is doing, but don't worry she'll keep you updated. Having an adorable dog is also an easy cop out on sending selfies because why send pictures of yourself when you could instead send pictures of your fur baby.

​As soon as it gets nice out expect alot of outdoor dates

When its super nice out would you expect her to leave him at home? It's a win-win, her dog needs exercise and you guys still get to hangout and get ice cream in the park together. Just be prepared to get a little dirty playing fetch.

 She'll bring a trace of her dog wherever she goes

Whether it be a spot of drool on her leg, hair on her shirt, or a doggy bag hanging out of her purse, there will always be one little thing off about her otherwise nicely put together outfit.

Never, ever say to her "it's just an animal"

If you ever say this, just prepare to be dumped. Dogs are our babies, never disrespect them or us by saying this, they are our family and if it came down to either you or our fur baby, you would lose.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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.
