Why You Should Do This One Thing In Your 20's

doglove

Your 20s are a time of exploration. You are learning how to find yourself. From your plans to your hands, everything is up in the air. You fly by the seat of your pants just trying not to fall off the rollercoaster that is life. Here are the reasons why a dog makes a killer plus one on this journey.

"I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall by my Squishy. Come on, Squishy. Come on, little Squishy."

1. They are always there to binge eat junk food with you.

What are carbs?

2. They make you feel like the most important person in the whole wide world.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.

3. They keep all your secrets.

4. You will always have a running buddy.

#Motivation.

5. They will also be right there by your side on the days when you aren't feeling the gym.

6. They have their Snapchat faces ready.

Say "cheese!"

8. They are always dressed & ready for any occasion.

9. They are better than any alarm clock you could ever buy.

"Get up. I'm ready to play."

10. They are top-notch Hide-and-Go-Seek partners.

No one will see you now.

11. They don't judge. They understand the days when you "can't even."

12. They help you watch your calories by literally watching you eat.

One for you, one for me. Got it?

12. Even the most mundane activities are a reason to smile.

13. You will never sleep alone ever again.

They aren't sleeping in your bed, you are sleeping in theirs. Get it right.

14. You always have a partner in crime.

You jump, I jump. No questions asked.

15. You learn to love unconditionally, which may at times require unconditional patience as well.

16. They make sure to get your spills so you are alway's lookin' your best.

17. They don't care if you are up to date on what is cool.

"Since you don't have a phone now you have more time to play with me."

18. They think all your ideas are genius.

19. They love you to the moon and back.

We are their person, just as much as they are our dog.

20. They lead by example.

All of these reasons are why you feel so strongly when people say "it's just a dog".

Because they are most certainly not just a dog to you.

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.

Student Life

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.
