20 Reasons To Love Dogs
Elise Maynard

As National Puppy Day on Thursday, March 23rd showed us, there is no shortage of love for man’s best friend. When I say there are millions of reasons to love dogs, I’m not exaggerating. But in case you’re a cat person (for any reason) here’s twenty reasons to love dogs (and to adopt one today).

1. They are always happy and full of energy.

2. They are always excited to see you no matter what.

3. They love to be outside and explore nature (and go on W-A-L-K-S).

4. They love treats just as much as we do.

5. They will love you unconditionally until the end of time.

6. They bring out the child in all of us.

7. They listen to us at any time of the day.

8. They know when you are sick and like to comfort you.

9. They love to cuddle.

10. They’ll clean up any food you drop on the floor.

11. They give the best kisses.

12. They can learn cool tricks.

13. They are never too tired to play.

14. They protect you.

15. They are so fluffy (and serve as the best pillow).

16. They can easily make you laugh.

17. They are the loyalist friend you’ll ever have.

18. They’re probably smarter than you.

19. They’re the best alarm clocks.

20. And lastly, they’re the cutest darn things you’ll ever lay your eyes on.

Honestly, what’s NOT to love about a dog??!?!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
