Obsessed? Who ME? HA HA HA no. *looks around the room nervously*

You get to a point in college when you start to crave a regular lifestyle again. You miss your bed, cooking in your kitchen, showering without flip flops, and you miss companionship from your pet. Maybe you've never had a pet but you're beginning to feel deep longing for drooly, fuzzy love. If this sounds like you or someone you know, read on to see if you or they are exhibiting any signs of wanting a dog in college.


1. You have no doubt that a dog is what you want (need).

2. It was the only gift on your Holiday wish list.

Sadly, you might have had to settle for the stuffed dog toy that your parents got you as a joke. HA ha Ha HA. They’re a real hoot.

3. You spend an excessive amount of time looking for breeds that match your personality.

How? The only truly reliable source: ONLINE QUIZZES.

4. You have realized that you, in fact, cannot have a dog.

Why? Because you live in a dorm. You've shed some tears.

5. You have thought about ways that you could convince your school that you need a dog.

*If you have been successful in doing so, please contact the author. *

6. To pull yourself out of your dog-less depression, you’ve gone to Pinterest to make a “dog goals” or “future dog” board.

Maybe you made both...or more than both. Oops.

7. You have had an awakening and realized that you could live in off campus housing.

The hunt is on for a “pet friendly” abode.

8. You might have found a great place but your funds seemed to come up short.

You've questioned if you can support a dog while you're living off of peanut butter and Doritos every other night.

9. It is very likely that you have decide to house hunt with a group of people in order to afford your dream.

Your primary concern is obviously about the safety and well being of the pup. You: “You guys want a party house? Where will we put the dog?” Them: “Huh?”

10. Your search history includes: dog shelters, dog breeds, dog videos, pet shops near you, directions to pet shops near you, and directions to the dog shelter.

11. Seeing a dog makes you want to squeal like a little girl.

12. Petting a dog makes you want to squeal like a little girl.

13. Your group chats consist of cute dog videos, derpy dog videos, derpy dog pictures, and dog gifs.

14. You have downloaded dog or baby name apps and combed the Internet on a personal quest to name your pooch.

Forget Fido and Rex, your baby isn’t getting a cookie cutter name!

15. Like the weirdo you are, you have also pre-selected dog supplies before you’ve found your dog.

You have probably also made a wedding Pinterest board even though you don’t have a fiancé or a confirmed relationship.

16. For now you’ll deal with the super fantastic dog gifts that people keep giving you.


17. BUT...deep down you know that one day things will be different.

You'll come home to this.

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.
