11 Reasons Why Your Dog Is Better Than A Boyfriend

If you have a dog, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Your dog has been there when no one else was, and they seem to always know exactly what you need. They’re way cuter than anyone you’ve ever dated (sorry, boys) and always stay loyal. Your dog worships the ground you walk on and will never cheat on you! Here are some reasons why your dog is way better than any boyfriend you’ll ever have.

1. They’re always loyal

As we know, dogs are one of the most loyal animals on the planet. They’ll never do you wrong or leave you for another human. You are your dog’s #1 and that’s the way it should be.

2. You don’t have to meet their parents

You probably don’t even know who their parents are and neither do they! No more awkward first encounters of meeting your significant other’s parents and trying to get them to like you. From here on out, it’s just you and your lovely pup.

3. They never say “I don’t know” when you ask them where they want to eat

Your dog will literally eat out of the palm of your hand. They’re down for anything and probably have a few ideas of their own (like where you keep their treats). No more arguing pointlessly about what to eat and ending up going nowhere!

4. They never have to ask “Are you mad?” because they always just know

Dogs seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to emotion. They always know what you’re thinking even before you do. Even when I’m a little bit sad, my dogs come into my room to cheer me up and start licking my face. That’s more than any boyfriend has ever done for me!

5. Your dog doesn’t care what you look like

They never expect you to dress up when you go out or even wear makeup. You can look as gross as you want around your dog, because they’ll still think the world revolves around you.

6. They’ll never compare you to past girlfriends (or owners) because usually you’re their first one!

You don’t have a super hot ex-girlfriend to live up to, so your dog literally thinks you’re a freakin' princess. You’re the only person in their life, and it’s gonna stay that way as long as you both shall live.

7. They’re super photogenic

You can take as many Snapchats as you want of them, and they don’t care. They make cute faces and sniff your camera unlike a boyfriend who will tell you you’re annoying and swat your phone away. We just wanna show you some love, and a dog is way better at taking pics.

8. You don’t have to worry about what to get them for Christmas

They’ll love whatever you get them no matter what, whether it’s a chew toy or a bone. Shopping for your pup is so much less stressful than shopping for a boyfriend because you can literally do no wrong. Seriously.

9. Your friends love them

You don’t need to worry about having your best friend’s approval of them because they love them before even meeting them. Introducing your friends to a boyfriend can be rough especially if they don’t like him, but you know that your friends will always love your adorable puppy (unless they’re allergic, I guess).

10. They don’t get mad when you hang out with your friends instead of them

Your dog won’t care if you ditch them for a night out with the girls. They understand, unlike a boyfriend would, and wait for you at home like the loving puppy they should be.

11. They’ll kiss you even when you haven’t showered for a few days

Even though you may be gross, your dog will always be down for some kisses anytime anywhere, and that’s why we love them.

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.
