12 Signs you miss your dog in college
Personal Picture

Dogs have a powerful affect on their humans. I can personally attest to that because I've been separated from my puppy for months now and my heart melts every time I think about him. Separation anxiety doesn't only exist in dogs. If it were up to me I'd borrow (*cough cough* steal) Thor from my sister, but she would never let such a thing happen (thanks Kris, love you too). If you're a dog lover, you know the horrors of missing your pup, so it should come to no surprise that people might do the following.

1. When you come home from class, you expect to be welcomed by a slobbery pooch.


Instead, you'll probably just be farted on by your roommate.

2. You start watching YouTube videos like this:

And frankly, who doesn't want to see babies and puppies play together?

3. You search Facebook for pictures that your family might post.

If you're lucky, you'll at least see a picture of your dog sleeping, and even that will give you butterflies.

4. You contemplate (or actually do) FaceTime your pup.


I never understood why people did this...until I got a dog.

5. You start to scold your drunk roommate as if you're training them.


Bad Carlos (not the guy in the picture). No!

6. When you go to bed, you dream of frolicking with your pup.


If only dreams could come true.

7. You see other people's dogs and immediately begin to compare them to your own.


You might get carried away pretty easily, especially if your dog can do this.

8. You consider dropping out mid-semester since you'd rather cuddle with your furry friend.


Because who wants to study when they can just sleep with the cutest creature on the face of the Earth?

9. You see dogs on TV and begin to cry for no apparent reason.


Hopefully you don't look as ugly as Kimmy K crying.

10. You might start eating your cereal like a dog.


Because why not act like the animal you miss so dearly?

11. You will probably dress like a dog to cope with the separation.


The only problem here is you're not Wilfred, and you will probably look like a freak.

12. You think about your dog so much you, in fact, become a dog.


You've gone and transformed into a whole other species. Congrats!

Okay the last few items are pretty hyperbolic. But honestly, I'm sure you get the point. The anxiety of not getting to see your puppy every day you're stressed, or even when you just want to relax, is pretty bad. Even though Thor isn't my own dog, I love him all the same. I've been waiting to go home just to play with him and spend time with him because I miss him that much. This one goes out to all my dog lovers!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
