Don't bite if a growl is sufficient...

Live. Love. Care about dogs.

1. Greet your loved ones.

Giphy

No matter how long you've been apart, greet your loved one like it's been years!

2. Always seize the chance to adventure.

Giphy

Go for those joy rides! When a fun opportunity presents itself, seize it!

3. Enjoy the wind in your hair.

Giphy

It's one of the best feelings ever to roll down those car windows and feel the wind in your hair and against your skin. So who cares about wind blown hair?! Have fun!

4. Take naps...

Giphy

We all deserve to curl up and take a nap. Especially with our favorite people or pup.

5. Stretch out.

Giphy

A nice big stretch always feels amazing! And don't be ashamed of any spontaneous noises that come with a good stretch.

6. Don't be ashamed of who you are!

Giphy

Let your freak flag fly! It's okay to be weird or different! People you love will love you for just being you

7. Have fun every single day!

Giphy

Live everyday like it'll be your last! Just make the best of life and have buckets of fun!

8. Give others a chance to get close.

Giphy

No one can live life entirely alone, so give others a shot and get close to someone.

9. Don’t bite if a growl is sufficient...

Giphy

There will be some people that get on your nerves, but instead of going right for the bite, maybe just give a little growl. In human talk, don't go straight to yelling and shouting. Just give a nice reminder that you don't like what they're doing right now.

10. Drink lots of water and stay cool on hot days.

Giphy

We all know that those hot days can make us just want to say inside, but others love laying out in the sun! Just make sure to stay cool and refreshed!

11. When you're happy, show it!

Nothing is bad about showing your happiness. So if you're in a good, happy mood let it beam from your head down to your feet.

12. Have a grand ol' time on a walk or run!

media.giphy.com

Exercise might not be everyone's favorite thing to do, but it's always good to go outside. It can be especially fun when you have a special someone or special pup to share it with.

13. Be loyal.

media.giphy.com

Man's best friend. Dogs are known for their loyalty. If we could all be as loyal to each other as dogs, then the world might be a much better place.

14. When a friend had a bad day, cuddle and listen.

media.giphy.com

Sometimes we can try too hard to cheer up a friend when they've had a bad day when all they want is some cuddling and someone to rant to. That's why it's so easy to talk to a dog because all they want to do is make you feel better with some cuddles. So take a lesson from your dog and next time that friends had a bad day, cuddle and listen.

15. If something you want is buried, dig for it...

media.giphy.com

Okay maybe not literally, but figuratively. Sometimes we have to work hard to achieve a goal or dream, so take advice from all the wonderful pups and keep digging until you've achieved that goal or dream.

If we all take the advice of these wonderful, adorable creatures than maybe the world will become a much brighter place! Now go hug a pupper for me!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
