They Are So Darn Cute.

5 Reasons Why You Need A Bunny In Your Life
Kelsey Valley

Yes, I know it sounds crazy. "Why would I want a bunny? They stink, and they do nothing," well everyone that is completely false and let me tell you why.

1. Bunnies are entertaining

All you have to do is let your bunny out of its cage and BAM; there they go running super fast and doing these things we call a "Binky." A binky is when a rabbit expresses itself with joy, jumping into the air, twisting and flicking its feet and head. Usually, they do these where ever they want too and run into furniture or you. They clean themselves all day every day, and it is the cutest thing in the world to watch. I could sit there all day and watch mine because he is so darn adorable. Bunnies also do this thing called "Flopping," when they are content. Sometimes there’s a buildup to the flop as a bunny turns its head a few times before rolling over completely onto his/her side.

2. They are great companions

They know how to make you smile when you are down. They often come up to the cage door when you walk into the room so that they can play with you. They are always excited to see you because they want the attention all day long. Rabbits also like to hop to you when you get down to their level and lay next to you. I mean how cute is that?

3. They are relatively low maintenance

All you have to do with a bunny is let it roam around your room, clean its cage once or twice a week, feed it and give him or her love. They don't need to go on walks, and they don't need vaccines. They also can be litter box trained which is awesome! Although the start up cost can be somewhat expensive for a bunny, maintaining it isn't expensive at all. They like to play with toys such as toilet paper rolls and newspaper, so you don't necessarily need to buy a bunch of toys because they are already right at home!

4. They may be small animals, but they have huge personalities.

Bunnies are characters. They can be goofy, energetic, nice, and sassy. You never know what you are going to get. Some days they will throw tantrums because they aren't getting their way and sometimes they will be sweet and cuddly and come right up to you and never leave your side. They truly know how to brighten up your day when you are down. Sometimes they will have an attitude with you, but I promise its amusing.

5. Your bunny will be around for a long time.

Taking care of a rabbit properly is a must. They can live anywhere between 9-12 years, so be ready for the commitment if you ever decide to get one. Rabbits are also easy to get attached too so you will have a lot of time to have a great best friend.

They are the cutest creatures in the world.

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. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

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 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?
