11 Things We Should Thank Our Dogs For
Jessica Leonardis

To every dog out there, this article is dedicated to you. It's the least we can do since you have dedicated so much of your lives to us already. If only us humans could follow your paw prints, the world would be a better place. With that being said, we have a lot to thank our fuzzy friends for.

1. Thank you for your loyalty.

For all you humans out there, remember this and take this into consideration please.

2. Thank you for being my best friend.

3. Thank you for always being down to snuggle and cuddle.


Who needs a significant other when you always have your dog to watch Netflix and chill with?

4. Thank you for eating the leftovers on my plate when I was too full or was not the biggest fan of that meal.

5. Thank you for always being so excited to see me when I got home, even if I went to the store to run a quick errand or if it was a bit longer.

You always know how to make me smile and feel so welcomed.

6. Thank you for always staying up late to make sure I got home okay.

I could always count on you being there when I opened the door and see you running down the steps to greet me.

7. Thank you for always being down to go on adventures with me.


Even if you weren't up for it, you'd still suck it up and go to please me, even though you know I love you no matter what.

8. Thank you for always being there for me.

You just knew when something was wrong and I thank you for being there for me when that happened.

9. Thank you for always being so happy.


The level of happiness that you bring into my life is incredible and can't ever be replaced. I don't think I have ever seen you not smiling now that I think about it.

10. Thank you for the unconditional love you provide.


If only humans could learn something from this.

11. And most importantly, thank you for growing up with me.


To our fuzzy friends, thank you for everything you have done for us. You provide our lives with incredible and ever-lasting memories. You should be given awards for all you do for us, but I guess treats, hugs, and kisses will work out just fine for now. If you do not have a dog, hopefully this article influenced you to go adopt one because honestly, your life is not complete without them. Oh and one more thing, if you're that owner that dropped their dog off in the middle of nowhere and left them there, I hope you go f*** yourself. Anyway, go adopt a dog today! There are so many dogs that are looking for homes and I promise you, it will be the best decision you have ever made.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
