Being a proud parent of a dog is the best. Dogs are these fluffy balls of unconditional love that can put a smile on anyone's face. You love and learn through your experiences with them. After owning dogs for many years I have realized that there are certain things non dog owners just wouldn't understand.

1. They sometimes sleep in the strangest positions

2. There is no such thing as personal space

3. Size doesn't matter, they are the baby of the family

4. You think they look cute when they lay their head on your leg until you realize that they are actually wiping their drool on you

5. If you hit them by accident you never forgive yourself, even though they have already forgiven you

6. Bath time for your dog can end up being bath time for you

7. You celebrate your dog's birthday every year

8. You know where their tickle spot is

9. They sometimes do weird things in there sleep, whether it's barking, twitching or running

10) They snore

11. When they want to play fetch but refuse to give the ball back

12. Your dog is better than everyone's else's, no questions asked

13. No matter how bad you feel they always know how to make you smile

14. The moment of terror after you bathe them and they roll around in the mud the second they get the chance

15. Hair. Hair everywhere!

16. You become their protector during fireworks and thunderstorms

17. They will wait outside the bathroom until you finish and act as if they haven't seen you in ten years when you get out

18, They can get away with murder when they give you the "look," and they know it

19. Their farts are lethal

20. After having one, you want more

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.

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.
