I would rather spend every single night with my dog rather than going out until 3 am

What Being A College Dog Mom Is Actually Like
Sydney Mergler

Dogs are your best friend. You can be going through the worst time of your life and your dog will still love you. You could yell bloody murder at your dog for breaking your favorite pair of shoes and your pet will still give you affection.

Waking up mad early

Listen, we all think dogs are so easy to take care of... Sike. I absolutely hate having to wake up early but my little guy makes sure he wakes me up every morning at 7:00 am to take him on a walk. Fun times

Getting peed on if I don't wake up mad early


My little guy is very young and he might be potty trained but it won't stop him from peeing all over my sheets if I don't wake up on his command.

Constantly needing to give your pet attention


My dog craves attention. He loves to be around people, on top of them, cuddles, playing, etc. When he's not sleeping he's pushing my hands off the keyboard or pushing my stuff off my lap to sit.

They keep you responsible 

Dogs rely on us more than we rely on them. We fed them, take them out, help them when they're sick, play with them, love them, etc. We are their whole world. Having a dog these past couple of weeks has made me more responsible. I constantly plan my life around him now but I'm grateful for it. I've seen a huge difference in myself since getting my little guy and how much more responsible I've become.

Best 'shoulder' to cry on


No matter how hard my life is getting or how bad I may feel, my dog is always there for me. He doesn't care if I yelled at him 10 minutes before crying, he'll still be there for me. Dogs are so loyal and they fed off of our emotions. They know when you need them to give you affection and reassurance that you'll be okay.

Dogs are just so precious. We really don't deserve them. No matter how much I complain about my little guy, I love him with my whole heart and can't imagine life without him. With that being said, I'm so thankful to have my little one.

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.
