Keep calm and stay long.

Why Everyone Needs A Wiener Dog
Lauren Buchanan

I will remember the day I got my dachshund for the rest of my life. She was an 18th birthday gift to myself, and I named her after a sassy pop star on the way home because she loves the song “Fergalicious." Furgie and I have hosted parties together, survived college together, husband hunted together, and will love each other forever. We are going on five years as best friends. That being said, I couldn't be happier to tell you why every human should have a hot dog-shaped bestie.

1. Dachshunds are hilarious no matter what they are doing

2. And they're hilarious no matter what they're wearing

3. Wiener dogs are the perfect size to be heating pads when you're sick or have cramps

4. Movie nights are the perfect date with this dog because they love to snuggle and bury themselves under blankets all day, every day

5. They will bury themselves anywhere, actually

6. They are loud enough to be doorbells

7. And also quiet enough for you to sneak them into stores and events that typically don't allow dogs

8. Dachshund puppies are as cute as a button

9. A lot of people think dachshunds are a mean breed, so you can take walks and be anti-social

10. But let's be real: They are little sausage sweethearts and once you have one dachshund, you want more

11. Online shops take your wiener dog obsession seriously and sell lamps, kitchenware, and clothes featuring your fur baby

12. You have an excuse to tell dirty jokes revolving around your wiener

13. Female doxie moms have the perfect pick up lines on Tinder. For example: “You can touch my wiener if I can touch yours"

14. There are songs on YouTube about your dog. Your baby is basically a celebrity. Who doesn't want to be the parent of a celebrity?

15. Doxies have attitude and don't let anyone mess with their humans or their house

16. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt for badgers in Germany. Today, it is in their blood to keep your home and yard rodent-free. Check out my little savage:

17. You better love your wiener if you get one. They're meant to give you a life of love and laughs with their 15-20 year lifespan

18. Dachshund moms and dads never need to invest in a garbage disposal. These babies have the appetite of a retirement party at Golden Corral

19. Since doxies are always hungry, you always have an excuse to eat food too. Family dinner is important, right?

20. This goes with any dog, hot dog-shaped or not: They make you feel complete

I can't imagine a world without dogs--especially my own. I don't trust people who don't like dogs, and I don't trust people my dog doesn't like. It will never cease to amaze me how dogs can show so much love without speaking a word. If more humans could do that, world peace would be within reach.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.
