There a two types of people...dog people and cat people. Dog people, like myself, know these truths.

1. Walking to class and seeing a dog!!

Giphy

IT IS A PUPPY!! I WANT TO PET THE PUPPY!!

2. You like cats too, but dogs are clearly better.

Giphy

I mean I'm not a cat person...what can I say? I mean cats are nice too, but they aren't fluffy puppies.

3. Hanging with your friends is 100 times better when they have a dog.

Giphy

You mean you have a dog?! Why are we not at your house right now with your dog?!

4. You live for pet therapy in college.

Giphy

Feeling a little stressed? Come pet a dog! You don't have to tell me twice.

5. Driving and seeing a dog hanging out the window.

Giphy

Your day is now so much better.

6. Seeing them wag their tails!

Giphy

They are so happy! And that of course makes you so happy!

7. Watching them jump with excitement when you meet them.

Giphy

They are so happy to meet you! None of your friends jump up and down when they see you...hmmm

8. Watching a dog eat ice cream is an amazing sight.

Giphy

Remember, only vanilla ice cream though. Dogs love when you give them some of your ice cream. Some ice cream shops even have special dog ice cream bowls on the menu.

9. Petting a dog!

Giphy

THE BEST FEELING EVER!!!

10. Knowing that there will never be a better friend than a dog.

Giphy

They always love you, and you always love them. Life really can be this pure and simple.

Dogs are really the best!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
