10 Reasons Why My Dog is My Best Friend
Frame Your Pet

May sound very cliche, but a lot of people say that dogs are man's best friend. In my case, this is entirely too true for many reasons. Here's why:

1. He's always there for me.

Dogs have this amazing ability to know when to comfort and when to leave someone alone. He's perfect at knowing when to be there for me and is always there when I need. He never fails to be my tissue when I cry.

2. He gives me endless snuggles.

Day or night, he loves to snuggle. Even if he doesn't want to snuggle, he still lets me squeeze him tight.

3. His happiness makes me happy.

His goofy habits, seeing him run around with friends, playing with new toys and seeing him smile make me smile.

4. He loves Cheetos and Netflix as much as I do.

He will binge watch Once Upon a Time with me and eat an entire bag of Cheetos with me, or any snack that I'm eating. He loves popcorn too.

5. He loves to go on adventures with me.

Anywhere I want to go, I just have to say, "Wanna go for a ride?" and he's all about it.

6. He takes care of me.

He is a great alarm system, vacuum, garbage disposal and Band-Aid. He lets me know when someone is here, eats all the food I drop and licks all my boo boo's.

7. He is fashionable and loves it.

A new bandanna or shirt is so exciting to him and he rocks any outfit I buy him without any complaints. He's always festive and the star of the show at family events because of it.

8. My retail therapy shopping consists of Bark Boxes and dog toys.

Seeing him happy makes me happy and I spend more money shopping for him than I do myself. He's friends with the mail man, because chances are that package is for him.

9. He's a great listener.

Those giant ears catch everything I have to say. He never talks back, unless of course he is hungry.. He listens to my complaints and stories. He is the best at keeping secrets too.

10. He's always excited to see me, regardless of how much time we spend together.

I could leave for a minute and walk back in the door and he's super excited to see me. A minute feels like forever for him and he always greets me with hugs and tons of kisses.

Although my dog is a crazy, pain in the butt 99% of the time, he is my best friend. He never fails to make me happy or let me down.

Thank you for being my best friend, Tango.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
