10 Things To Thank Your Dog For
Brooke Tousley

Whoever said dogs are a “man’s best friend” is not kidding. No matter what, dogs are always there for us and we do not deserve these beautiful creatures. Thank you, dogs, for being a great friend to us. 2016 may have been ruff, but having you there lessened the blow. Here’s to dogs everywhere, we love you and we are thankful for you to be here for another year.

1. Thank you for always greeting me with much excitement at the front door

It's the little things that you do that make everything so worth it.

2. Thank you for being silly

You keep me young. I am thankful for that.

3. Thank you for always wanting to cuddle.

This may only be my dog, but I feel like we don't deserve these creatures for gracing us with their greatness.

4. Thank you for being the star of the family

The family might be a disappointment, but your dog will never be.

5. Thank you for eating all my leftovers

You da real one, Taz.

6. Thank you for being my rock

I work hard for my degree to make sure my dog children and future dog children will have a good and plentiful life.

7. Thank you for putting up with all the photos.

My dog in particular is photogenic, I just can't help myself. Look at my little model.

8. And the costumes.

Not all heros wear capes.

9. Thank you for listening to me ramble, rant and complain about boys, life, school, and more boys.

It's the little things you do.

10. Thank you for being my best friend.

I don't know what I would do without you.

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?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
