Some people will not agree with me that I should call myself a mom to my dogs, but that's the crazy thing about life: I'm so happy and my dog is to.

Well hello, I just would like to point out you probablyyyy are reading this article because you have a dog, are a fellow dog mom, or at least know someone that crazy loves their dog. To me I love to find connections with people that have a dog or at least share a love of dogs. This way my dog can also be apart of all the fun times I have with my friends.

They Always Give You A Reason To Be Proud

My dog is truly like having a child to me. As you can see I even bought him Christmas sweaters and we took pics in front of the Christmas tree. He relies on me for the necessities of a good life just as a child would. So I like to give a little extra and make his life special. This process to me, makes me a dog mom.

A dog is the best friend to have. Period. They miss you when you're gone, but aren't mad at you when you get back home. Dogs keep you in a good mood and never cancel plans. My beagle baby is always ready for cuddles or to go crazy and play. For me having a dog is a perfect excuse to take a break from anything stressing me out and enjoy life a little bit more.

Unconditional Love

Of course you knew this was going to be here. Its common knowledge that our dogs are the biggest lovers. I am blessed to find a wagging tail and excited howl from my baby every time I come home (even if I've ran outside for 2 minutes). For this dog mom I fell in love with my beagle the moment I laid eyes on him. Even though one dog can be just a short portion of our lives dogs live their entire lives with just us. They give us their entire love and attention for their ENTIRE lives. Think about that.

Perfect Excuse To Lay In Bed All Day

Sarah Mason

For me I always have some project or paper I feel like I should be working on. I have a constant built in feeling that I have to be busy, but my cuddly nap loving dog reminds me of the importance to take mental breaks and just chill every once in a while. My favorite days are when my pup lays with me on the couch and we just watch Disney movies all day.

A Cute Model Always On Hand

Now this point isn't what every dog owner needs or takes advantage of but for this dog mom I love taking pics of my growing puppy. He may not be the most patient model but I think he sure is the cutest! Pics during every season are always fun when you can have a dog to take pics and post on instagram of.

Birth Control At Its Finest

While dogs are loving and amazing they teach very important life lessons. Puppies have to be taught everything from when and where they can go to the bathroom, what is and is not food, and some dogs have to be taught appropriate behavior. As a dog mom myself I often wonder how I will survive being a human mom on the days my dog is driving me crazy.

My roommate's cat is pretty cool so maybe if you're not dog mom material a cat would be better for ya.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
