11 Things Dog Lovers Know Too Well

Every once in a while, a person is blessed with the presence of a dog in their life. From that point on, loving dogs is all that you will know and you will become obsessed. It's all because of their charming good looks, their adorable personalities, and their willingness to help others. And with loving dogs beyond belief, come some things that dog lovers certainly know all too well.

1. All dogs are considered cute.

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, yet every single dog is just as cute as the rest. Like, come on, look how cute they are!

2. They're down to cuddle when no one else is.

Forget about your boyfriend or girlfriend. Dogs are willing to cuddle with you no matter what. They don't care if you haven't showered in days or if your hair gets in their face when you're spooning, they're just down for some good ole cuddling.

3. They're always down to exercise with you.

Although dogs tend to pull when they walk (who blames them, they're probably excited), they never say no to exercising with you. They are without even knowing it, encouraging you to look your ultimate best.

4. Getting a puppy for Christmas is your lifelong dream.

Forget the pony and the piles of clothes that you'll never wear. Get the gift of unconditional love. Nothing is cuter than a puppy in a Santa hat anyways. And it's granted to make you cry from happiness.

5. There's no such thing as a "bad breed of dog".

Dog breeds such as pit bulls, rottweilers, and German Shepard get bad reputations for being "vicious". Although this is not completely untrue, any true dog lover knows not to discriminate. It's all about how you raise them. Besides, the chihuahua is statistically the most vicious dog breed and you don't see them getting hated on.

6. Your hardest goodbye is always the one you say to your dog.

Leaving your dog is easily one of the hardest things that a person has to do and involves crying for hours on end. They don't know you're leaving, when you'll be back, or if you'll ever come back. And thinking about their sadness just tears you apart. Just make it easy on yourself and don't leave them. Ever.

7. Seeing a dog makes your day.

College students can all easily relate to this. Seeing a dog whenever you don't expect to can make your day and there is a 100 percent chance that I will pet him. I am not sorry.

8. Work really means providing for your future dog.

Everyone knows that when it comes to working, you break your back just so you can provide your dog with the best life possible. Who would you rather spoil than your dog? The answer is no one.

9. Your clothes always look like this.

No matter how hard you try, you always end up with several pieces of dog fur left on your clothing. There's really no point in owning a lint roller anymore because fur will end up on your clothes the minute it is taken off.

10. You don't know how humans got so blessed to have dogs in our lives.

Dogs are easily one of the most loyal, trustworthy, and friendly animals on the planet. How did we even get so lucky to have them in the presence of our life?

11. But, you're so glad that we did.

There's never a moment in your life that you're not grateful for your dog. They've changed your life in more ways than one. So much to the point where living without a dog or two would be absurd. We're forever thankful for the dogs in our life and are willing to give them just the kind of love that they deserve (and that's a lot of it).

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
