College is extremely frustrating at times, and sometimes your dog is the only cure.

1. When you're pretty sure your upstairs neighbors are going to fall through your ceiling

Sometimes I don't even want to know what they are doing up there. Once, I actually left a post-it note on their door to tell them to be quiet at 2:30 a.m... slightly passive aggressive, but it needed to be done.

2. When you go to the dining hall for mashed potatoes and they're out of them

While this obviously isn't the worst thing in the world, it is a serious let down when it's to sole reason you went to the dining hall.

3. When your teacher says attendance is mandatory and every absence docks points off your grade

It's 2018, let's stop with this already. If I'm sick, I'm sick. Would you rather I give the whole class the flu?

4. When you run out of dining hall swipes AND flex points

Half of you wonders how you could have possibly eaten in the dining hall 75 times and half of you is dying for more swipes. To top it all off, you can't even get yourself a Diet Coke with your flex points-- you need to use actual cash.

5. When you have a group project

Why do these exist?

6. When you forget to submit an online assignment in time

Why are assignments due at random hours of the day? Let's just have everything due at midnight because we're all too unorganized to submit something at 2 PM.

7. When your bathroom floods and you don't know what to do

Maybe this is just me-- last week the ceiling in the room under our bathroom started falling down. It was very concerning. #college

8. When there is a severe weather warning and class isn't canceled

Fingers crossed that tornado doesn't get any closer to campus on your two-mile walk to class.

9. When you sent a VERY important email to your professor and they don't respond

Sometimes things are very time sensitive and deserve a response.

10. When you haven't slept in a week because you have too many assignments

Can you do college any other way?

11. When you get a concussion and life still moves on

Maybe that's just me with the concussion, but you know what I mean. When life knocks you down it doesn't pause while you try to stand up.

It's time to get your dog on the phone.
