10 Signs You're A Dog-a-Holic

Nothing is more exciting than coming home to a wagging tail and barks of excitement. Since the beginning of time, dogs have been known as man's (and woman's!) best friend. Other than being adorable, dogs have many other wonderful traits that make us love them. It is scientifically proven that owning a dog reduces stress and increases happiness levels. Even if you don't own a dog, watching a cute video of a dog has been proven to relieve stress while at work (in moderation, of course). Many dogs are trained to remind their owners to take their daily medication, and some can even detect when their owner might be having a seizure. A dog's main goals in life are to protect their owner and to make them happy. No wonder why us humans are so obsessed with them! Here are 10 signs that you might be a dog-a-holic (and there's totally nothing wrong with that!).

1. You follow more dogs than you do people on Instagram.

Yasss Marnie you look so good! Slay queen!

2. Every time you see a cute dog video, you just have to show all of your friends.

3. You're a member of this group on Facebook.

And if you're not...go join it right now! Seriously, it might be the greatest thing to ever happen to Facebook.

4. You constantly browse Petfinder and Adopt a Pet to see all of the dogs that are up for adoption.

But it's so hard to choose just one, so you might as well just adopt them all!

5. The Puppy Bowl is like a second Christmas to you.

Obviously it's superior to the Super Bowl. The players are way cuter!

6. Your friends know by now that you're not coming over to hang out with them; you just wanted to see their dog.

"OMG I've missed you so much! No, not you...your dog."

7. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a dog out in public.

"So good news. I saw a dog today!" And of course if you're with your friends, you will most likely slap them and scream "Dog!" to make sure that they don't miss it (OK, you might do this when you're alone too).

8. Especially if their owner says that you can pet them!

Bless your kind soul.

9. Nothing makes you happier than dogs in costumes.

I wonder what he's going to make! Either way, I'd still eat it because he looks so cute in that little chef's coat!

10. You pray that your future husband/wife loves dogs just as much as you do.

Hopefully you'll look as good as these corgis on your wedding day (probably not though).

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
