13 Dogs To Follow To Celebrate Dog Appreciation Day

In my opinion, dogs are too pure for this world. While dogs should be appreciated every day, August 26 is Dog Appreciation Day so be sure to show all the dogs in your life some extra love that day. Take them for a walk, play fetch, and give them a big hug and a treat to celebrate.

As a college student, one of the saddest moments every August is saying goodbye to my dog. One of the 'ruff' parts of college is not coming home every day to kisses and a wagging tail. So if you cannot celebrate Dog Appreciation Day in person or are just missing seeing your dog every day, consider following dog accounts on Instagram and Twitter.

Why follow dogs? They will make you smile. When dogs do cute or silly things that make you smile, this triggers neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine to increase, which are linked with calmness and happiness.

So here are some good boys (and girls!) that you can follow that will help you miss your dog less and be sure to brighten your social media to keep you smiling even as the semester gets harder:


1. WeRateDogs

WeRateDogs is a Twitter account that rates dog photos submitted. 15/10 would follow on Twitter and would pet all the dogs.

2. Thoughts of Dog

Every wonder what your dog is thinking? Thoughts of Dog knows and reminds you through tweets of how pure and unconditionally loving dogs are.

3. Doug the Pug

4. The Dogist

The Dogist is an Instagram account similar to the Humans of New York that shares photos of dogs and some of their stories that will be sure to make you smile!

5. Agador

Agador is the pooch of NYC and known as the "Bob Ross of dogs" with his signature hairdo. Agador is so stylish and even considered to have "more lewks than Carrie Bradshaw."

6. Marnie the Dog

Marnie the Shih Tzu's smile will be sure to make you smile. How can you not love that adorable face? Find her on both Twitter and Instagram.

7. Mississippi Golden Gurls

RowanOak, Remi, and Idgie Ruth are Golden Retriever sisters with pure hearts of gold. This account is sure to brighten your day with the gurls in cute outfits. Stay golden, gurls!

10. Cumlord

11. Tuna

While you might expect a tuna fish, Tuna is a cute dog that will melt your heart with his big, toothy smile.

12. Menswear Dog

13. Dogs in Food

Although not purely about dogs, this Instagram account will make you laugh as it creatively incorporates photos of dogs into photos of food.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
