10 Reasons To Stay At Home With Your Dog Rather Than Going Out

Okay, so it's no surprise that people love when other people cancel plans, but there are others who just don't want to make plans, to begin with. Here are some reasons to just hang with your pup instead.

1. He lets you drink as much as you want

Everyone has those friends who scream "let's do shots!" as soon as you show up to a place, and although you might be down for a wild night, sometimes that's just not what you wanna do. So, whether you want to drink a whole bottle of wine, or sip on water all night, your pup supports that.

2. Sweats

Hello - you don't need to get dressed up to hang with your pup.

3. Productivity

You can still watch TV, drink wine, and get 3 loads of laundry done on a night in. Can you do that at a bar? Nope. And even better, your pup is there cause he's down for whatever.

4. Or laziness

What dog isn't down for a night in on the couch? He's legit the best.

5. Food, food, and more food

There's nothing your pup loves more than food, and there's nothing YOU love more than not being judged by your dog for eating a whole thing of ice cream in one sitting.

6. Sappy Chick Flicks

Does your dog care if you watch The Wedding Planner on repeat? Nope - bring on the sappy movies!

7. Talking It Out

When you need someone to talk to, vent to, cry to, whatever, and know they you can trust them - your dog is actually the best. You can say anything you want to him and he's not telling a single soul! Late night chats with your pup can heal your soul.

8. Cuddling

Dogs = best cuddlers ever.

9. Perspective

Who cares if Becky from Marketing was nasty in an email - learn a lesson from your pup. He is legit happy as long as you're with him, and he's got food. That's the kind of life I want.

10. Catching Up On Sleep

All dogs love to sleep so there is absolutely no better way to catch up on your sleep than with your pup by your side. Be lazy bums - you'll both be happier on Monday.

You can literally do anything while staying in with your dog and he'll just be happy to be by your side.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
