10 Ways Having A Dog Is Like Having A Child
Bre Crisp

If you are anything like me, you love your four-legged fur babies to the moon and back! However, sometimes their sweet puppy dog eye's can literally get on your nerves! Much like a child, dogs required ALOT of attention. I am only a mother of two fur-babies, but in many ways, they remind me of little kids!

If you have ever been around kids you know they are full of energy, hardly take naps, and are super picky when it comes to food! Replace the word kids and I just described my two dogs! Oh, and don't let me forget the sassy attitude I get from them when things don't go their way. Dogs require a lot of energy and can be very sneaky much like kids! While we love our fur babies more than anything, we even call them our children because dogs are family.

Here's a list of ways that dogs are like children:

1. You NEVER go to the bathroom alone!

You can literally hear them sniffing under the crack of the door, like Hello, human, are you coming out?

2. If you have something yummy to eat, you are being watched!

Excuse me, are there any chance you will drop that pizza on the floor? ACCIDENTALLY.

3. You never need an alarm clock.

Your dog becomes your alarm clock when it's pee o'clock! AKA 6:30 am.

4. They are needy!

Rub my belly, please!

5. When you are trying to discipline them and they look at you with the sweet and innocent look.

6. They are not cheap!

Vet bills, grooming fees, dog food, medicine......

7. They make messes.

Can the trash just fall over?

8. Toys are scattered all over the house.

9. Picky with their food.

I only like the REALLY expensive dog food.

10. Love car rides.

They just love to go places, unless it's the vet or the groomer!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
