13 Things All Beagle Owners Know To Be True
PetsWelcome

We all love our furry canine friends -- their unconditional love, their big puppy eyes, and their sweet snuggles. And beagles are among the sweetest, in my opinion. I have owned two beagles, and they're definitely unique dogs. And only a beagle owner could truly understand just how special these sweet dogs are.

1. They are noisy.

The beagle my family had when I was younger was also mixed with a basset hound, so he would howl all night. The beagle we have now barks all night. No matter what sound your beagle prefers to make, they are noisy. Or maybe they're just very social.

2. They dig.

Walking through your backyard is like walking through a minefield. Always watch your step lest you fall into one of your beagle's traps. Do they dig for fun? To catch something? To escape? Probably all of the above, but we are pushovers and just fill it in instead of getting angry. They're just little kids.

3. They seek to get as dirty as possible.

One word that will strike fear into all beagle owners... mud. It doesn't matter if you have just given them a bath, they love to be outside and will run straight to the dirtiest, muddiest area they can find and roll around in it. Then they beg to come into your house. Sorry, buddy. Just kidding, come on in and snuggle.

4. They smell like hound dog, even right after a bath.

They roll around in the mud so much that the smell is just embedded into them. And they will want to come in and roll around on all of your furniture, making your living room smell like dog. But you let them because, duh, they're your precious perfect baby.

5.The ears and the big eyes are hypnotic.

They have the cutest baby faces. They always look like puppies, even when they're old, with their big beautiful eyes and floppy ears that go all over the place when they run. They are just so precious that you can never be mad at them... even when they dig up the yard, beg all night, and steal your food. They're too cute.

6. They're kissers.

They are not dangerous and would never bite you, but they will lick you and will not stop. They are such affectionate little dogs, and want your love and snuggles.

7. They always want to play.

Whether they love to play tug of war, fetch, or just have you chase them around the yard, beagles are playful. They just love to have fun.

8.They are always hungry.

On top of being eternally hungry, they will also eat anything. Literally anything. Regardless of whether it is edible or not.

9. They are hilarious.

They do the strangest things. Mine will wear birthday hats at birthday parties without complaining. He also knows how to open the gate and the back storm door all by himself so he can come and go as he pleases. He naps in a flower pot. They all have their quirks.

10.They are sweet and loving, no matter what.

Even if you yell at them, they will look at you with those sweet puppy-dog eyes that just seem to say, "I'm sorry, I love you," and will never hold a grudge against you. They are great forgivers, and the truest lovers.

11. They all act like little hunters.

As soon as the leaves start to fall, my beagle feels like he must chase, tree, or catch everything. From birds to moles to squirrels to possums, no other creature is safe. Buster will find you.

12.They can always make you smile.

No matter how bad your day has been or how stressed out you are, there is no feeling like coming home to a beagle. They'll run right into your arms, and all your worries will melt away. They always seem to understand, and always know the right amount of kisses needed to cheer you up.

13.They always want to be with you and love on you.

Beagles are the most loyal dogs, and will never leave your side. They wish they could be with you every second, and when you come home, whether it is after five weeks or five minutes, they act like they haven't seen you in years. They are always so happy to see you and to be playing with you, cuddling with you, or just sitting with you at all times. As long as you're there, they are happy.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
