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).

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
