Cat lovers beware.

11 Reasons Why Dogs Are Paws-itively Better Than Cats
Krista Mangulsone

Since the beginning of time, it's been the feud of all feuds. The world is divided by Republican or Democrat and "dog people" or "cat people." We need to settle the debate once and for all. Dogs or cats: which animal is superior?

1. I mean, do I really have to explain why?

No matter what if you have a dog, you will always have a best friend. Between greeting you as soon as you walk through the door to literally and figuratively sticking by your side through thick and thin, your dog will always be there for you.

2. Dog spelled backward is God.

Coincidence? I think not.

3. Whereas cats are the actual Satan spawn.

Cats are always secretly plotting your death, just F.Y.I.

4. Dogs are called "man's best friend" for a reason.

They lift you up when you're down, mend your heart when it's hurting and will always be loyal to you no matter what. Dogs are lifelong companions that love you as though you're family to them, while cats just want you to feed them and scoop their sh*t out of the litter box.

5. Dogs help to keep us fit and active.

Dogs love nothing more than to see a leash in your hand as you walk up to them. Taking your dog for a walk is a win-win for both of you as you can each get exercise while spending time together.

Have you ever tried to take your cat for a walk?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

6. Dogs are basically superheroes.

Police dogs, fire dogs, service dogs ... you name it, a dog can be it. Dogs can be used to sniff out drugs, guard firehouses, assist owners with physical disabilities and actually provide a service to society. Cats are just the damsel in distress waiting to be rescued from a tree by a knight and shining armor.

7. Dogs are civilized.

Cats will walk on every surface of your house.

We eat on that table!

8. Dogs are housebroken.

Cats don't even have the decency to leave the house before they do their business. The audacity.

9. Dogs don't vomit up hairballs every day like some animals we know. . .

10. Who will protect you from a burglar?

Certainly not a cat that's afraid of its own shadow, or in this case, a cucumber.

11. Cats have to have nine lives because they're clumsy.

Dogs only need one life because they know not to jump off of tall buildings as if they're a stunt double or parkour enthusiast.

For any cat lovers out there that I might have offended, I am sorry for my CAT-ITUDE, but I hope I can PURR-SUADE you to see the light and become a dog lover. These puns have been quite RUFF, so I apologize. Despite the shade I have thrown at all cat lovers, I'm just KITTEN around!

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?

sisters

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.

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!)
