3 Reasons I Like My Dog More Than People

If you've been around me for a day, there is a really good chance that you have heard me say "I hate people." Now, I don't actually hate people. In fact, I rather enjoy people. Personalities, intellect, and witty comments make me happy. It's the ignorant and quite dumb comments and actions that make me utter my usual "I hate people" statement. With all that being said, there is one person that never fails me. She is quite cute with her big eyes, wagging tail, and constantly perked up ears. She is my four legged daughter and her name is Sophie Mae. Let me tell you why having a dog is better than any person.

1. She never lets me be alone.

Y'all when I say never, I mean NEVER. I can't eat by myself. I can't go to the bathroom by myself. I can't shower without her sitting on the mat beside it. I don't sleep by myself. I don't wash dishes or do laundry without her laying at my feet. Heck, sometimes I can't even walk by myself because there she is with her little paw on my foot waiting for my next step. I officially have a four-legged shadow and I love it.

2. She never judges.

My precious little angel just watches me. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. Not only will she be by my side, she doesn't judge me. I could be dancing like the whitest person on earth. I will blare my music and sing my heart out louder than the music. I will be sliding around in my socks. I can be spending my nights in reading a book on my kindle. I can be ignoring my homework and all other responsibilities. She never judges.

3. She always loves me.

If you've never had a puppy to greet you when you come home, you have missed out. Every time I leave, it could be the house or the room, and come back she acts like it's been ages since she has seen me. She jumps up and down, scratches me, and loves to get in my face and lick me. Even if I have to get on to her for chewing something up or using the bathroom where she shouldn't, she always comes back to me after I pop her or scold her. Even if there are other people around, she only wants me.

All I'm saying is that every person needs a dog. If you're not a dog person, that's okay. I'm sure cats are somewhat as awesome as dogs. But seriously, get a dog. You will never feel more loved or welcomed than by your sweet puppy. And when people are being dumb and you just can't take it anymore, your dog will always be there making you all happy and junk.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
