It's just a fact.

12 Reasons Why Dogs Are The Best

Man's best friend, Gods gift to humanity, cuteness incarnate, pure unadulterated love. Whatever you want to call them, dogs are the best. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, just show them this and then show them on their merry way. Or if your dog just tore up a couch cushion and you need a reminder why you love them so much, here are some reasons, among millions, why dogs are the best (and far superior to cats, but that's an article for another day).

1. They are cute.

His ear is flapping and if that's not cute I don't know what is.

2. They are cuddly.

All they want is to be held and pet (unless they want food).

3. They have a sense of humor.

Look at that sass.

4. They comfort you when you are sad.

There are actually studies that show that "dogs may empathize with humans more than any other animal, including humans themselves," according to Discovery News. The best friend you can have can't even do what a dog can.

5. They are almost always excited to see you.

They wiggle and jump until they get the attention they rightly deserve.

6. And if they're not, it's cute anyways.

It's just like you, getting up for work, but in dog-world. It doesn't stay that way for long, soon they'll wander up and look for someone to love them.

7. Puppies.

Enough said.

8. They're intelligent.

They watch and learn so they can be just like you.

9. Sometimes...

But hey, this is pretty adorable.

10. They know when they have done something wrong.

They know they are guilty and will give you puppy eyes until you break down and forgive them.

11. And will apologize.

With hugs and kisses.

12. And they're pretty darn talented.

I know many people who can't catch a ball with their own hands and he's doing it with paws.

Bless their souls.

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.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

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!

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?"

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.
