Some days are terrible. We all have terrible days, whether that means failing an exam, forgetting a deadline or finding out they ran out of grilled cheeses in the dining hall. So you wander dejectedly towards your next class, resigned to a dreary day, and then you see it. The cheeriest, happiest, most wonderful thing in the world: a dog. Whether it's a pupper, doggo, pupperino or just a plain old dog, there's many ways to know if you're a dog lover.

1. You know all the different types of dogs.

And I don't mean breeds. There are dogs, doggos, puppers, pupperinos, woofers and many kinds in between. I know it can get confusing, but with a little studying and some paws-on practice, you can figure it out in no time.

3. The best part about coming home is seeing your own dogs.

Other people's dogs are great, but there's something about your own that's just even better. They're always happy to see you no matter what, perhaps only topped by how happy you are to see them. School breaks are meant for pupper cuddles, after all.

4. If your dog doesn't like your date, there won't be another date.

It's common sense: if your dog doesn't like someone, then they must be suspicious. Your family's opinion might matter as well, but let's face it, no one's opinion matters as much as your dog.

5. You treat your dog like your child.

They dress up for Halloween, get presents at Christmas and get extra treats on their birthday. No human kid can match the cuteness of your four-legged child!

6. You've canceled plans to hang out with your dog.

Why bother putting on pants when you could just have a movie night with your best friend?

7. You know that there's no better friend than a dog.

They'll stay with you through thick and thin, always be happy to see you and give the best cuddles in the world. What more could you ever need?

They say dogs are man's best friend, but I think they're really a college student's best friend. Whenever you need cheering up, snuggles or a big ole kiss, they're always there for you. Dogs are better than humans a lot of the time, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
