10 Reasons Why I Love My Dog
Jackie Arnott

My dog, Prince, is the best cocker spaniel in the world. No, I will not be humble. My dog is my favorite. He's a good boy, he gives the best cuddles and kissies, he loves head pats and ear scratches, and he's so sweet. He loves bones and treats, and barking at trains. He also loves playing in dirt and bringing it inside the house. He likes to sleep in my bed with me and my mom's bed with her. He doesn't bother our cats (who, in return, don't bother him either), and he is always so excited when my mom or I come home. Here are other reasons why I love him:


1.) He's the best boy

He's just So Good™. He is so loving and wants to be everyone's friend. Dogs like my dog are just the best.


2.) He's very photogenic

LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT MY SON.



3.) HE SLEEPS IN A CAT BED

DON'T BELIEVE ME?



4.) He literally gets so excited when I come home from school

He barks when my car pulls up, and scratches at the door before I'm even inside. Once I am inside, he's so sweet and loving. He rubs his head against my calf and wags his tail until you can't see it anymore and he whines until I pet him. He's so excited to see me and it makes my heart explode with happiness.


5.) He Is My Son™

He is, for all intents and purposes, my son. I love him more than I could love anything. He is my best friend and the most important thing to me. If I were to loose him, I'd die. I wouldn't be able to handle it. He is my sweet son and I love him very much.


6.) He, like most other cocker spaniels, gets so excited, that he piddles.

Okay, this one is gross, but it's also kind of endearing. HEAR ME OUT, OKAY? He's just so happy and excited. I can't bring myself to be mad at him because he's just so excited, he couldn't help it. He's a good boy, okay?


7.) When you take him on car rides, he likes to move around.

He just likes to move and be a puppy. He's very wiggly and enjoys being himself.



8.) He's 12 years old, but acts like a puppy.

He's so old, but so young at heart. The veterinarian once tried to guess his age based on his teeth, and said he was four years old. My dog is, indeed, 12 years old, but he gets into the trash like he's 12 months old. He's a good boy, but also, he can do bad things. But it's okay, because he's good.


9.) If he could talk, I would never try to make a human friend again.

If he could speak to me, I would stop interacting with humans I didn't already know. He would take 100% of my attention and we would have important conversations about who the good boy really is, and why I love him so much, but won't let him have any cheese.


10.) Look at him again and tell me you honestly don't think he's a 10/10 canine



In conclusion, he's such a good boy and everyone should love him as much as I do. Thank you.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
