5 Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than Humans

If you aren’t a “dog person,” you might have no soul.

5 Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than Humans
Paws and Affection

I love humans and I think we're really cool and all, but dogs are something else. Sometimes I wonder how we got so lucky to have such amazing creatures live among us. I’ll be honest, it was a struggle to narrow it down to 5 reasons, but here's an attempt.

1. They’re all ears.

They listen to you when no one else will. Sadly, your dog can’t talk. But on the bright side, they will always give you their undivided attention and they won’t ever interrupt your very important stories. Plus, they love when your attention is on them so they’ll soak up all of the love for as long as you ramble on. It’s a win/win situation. Yes, human friends are nice to vent to every once in a while, but they might tell you what you don't want to hear or they'll sit back and give you that judgmental look. I’ll take puppy dog eyes over judgey human eyes any day. Which brings me to my next point…

2. Their puppy dog eyes are insane.

I mean I guess some humans have pretty eyes, but have you ever met a dog who didn’t have beautiful eyes? Probably not. Truthfully, I’ve never been one to believe in love at first sight, but dogs have a gift. They can steal your heart with just one glance. And they are so darn photogenic. To be honest, I definitely have more photos of my dogs than of actual humans on my phone, but it's because dogs literally always look good. Forget models, I want to see more dogs on billboards.

3. They’re always happy to see you.

I absolutely love going home to visit my parents. But little do they know, I come home mainly to see my two furry best friends. I can guarantee that no human would sprint across the house to greet you with a face lick and a wagging tail because no human is ever that excited about anything or anyone. Humans are nice sometimes, but 80% of the time we have sticks up our butts that prevent us from showing any ounce of happiness whatsoever. I think we could all learn a thing or two from our joyful, little pups.

4. They love to nap at all hours of the day.

Naps are my favorite, but many humans believe that napping is unacceptable when you’re an adult. However, your dog thinks otherwise. Licking your paws and chasing your tail can get tiring. So follow your dog's example and take a break from your busy life. Odds are, you’ll have more energy when you wake up to chase that squirrel in the backyard or to chase that dream job of yours. Work hard, nap harder. Or something like that.

5. They are always loyal.

While you may have a bunch of different human friends, your dog only knows a few people besides you. Therefore, you will always (unless you really mess up) be your dog’s very best friend. So just remember, while you’re out in the real world stressed about literally everything, there is a cute little K9 at home only thinking about you.

If you’re a dog owner, you are very loved. If you’re not a dog owner, you know what to do (adopt a dog, you weirdo).

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
