12 Reasons Dogs Are The Best Thing In The World
Kelsie Foster

Dogs are hands down one of the greatest things to ever happen to this world. Whenever people let you down, dogs are there to cheer you up. You can always count on them for a good laugh and they make the best cuddle buddies around. I can't imagine what my life would be without dogs, but I can assure you it would be far less amusing. I'll never understand what we did to deserve dogs but here are some top moments that make me thankful we have them.

1. They'll do anything to cheer you up.


It's hard to be sad when you have a big ball of fluff staring up at you trying to cheer you up.

2. You can always count on them for a laugh.

Dogs are incredibly smart, but they have their moments. I mean hey, we all do. Who knows maybe they'll find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of the window? Until then I'll sit back and continue laughing at them.

3. They're constantly doing cute things.

As if dogs and babies weren't cute enough on their own. Add them together and you just don't stand a chance.

4. They make great cuddle buddies.

"Oh sorry, can't get up, don't want to wake the dog." Greatest nap enablers ever.

5. They're as loyal as it gets.

As cliche as it seems, people always leave but a dog never will. They don't call them mans best friend for no reason- easily the greatest companion to have.

6. They don't judge you.

So you're going on hour five of binge watching Grey's Anatomy, they don't judge. They'll be curled up right next to you the whole time.

7. They're always excited to see you.

It doesn't matter if you've been gone for two minutes or two years, you can always count on a slobber filled, wiggly butt greeting from your dog when you walk through the door. There's really nothing better after a long day.

8. They make great listeners.

A dog will listen to you ramble about how annoying your boss is for hours on end or practice a speech over and over again. All while keeping an interested look on their cute little face.

9. They make great workout partners.

Cutest. Personal. Trainer. Ever.

10. Even when you don't want to workout.

They'll bug you until you get up and get moving. But how could you say no to that?

11. They're more patient than any of your friends.

Dogs will put up with just about anything and still love you. You can dress them up in costumes and while they may give you the most pitiful looks in the world, they'll forgive you.

12. Even when they're bad, they're still so cute.

I'm not sure when dog shaming became so poplar but I am SO glad that it did. Dogs seem to get themselves into trouble a lot, but you can't deny how cute and funny it is.

I'll probably never understand what we did to deserve dogs, but I couldn't imagine life without 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.
