8 Reasons Why Everyone Needs A Dog

1. Endless cuddle sessions

I mean of course you can have that soft pillow and comfy blanket, but is that ever enough? I don’t think there is anything better than having a little or big ball of fur to cuddle with whenever and wherever you want.

2. They hug you with their eyes

You don’t need to ask your dog for a hug when you need one. They just get you and know when they have to give you that look and they can make all of your worries go away.

3. They teach you responsibility

While having a dog is a lot of fun and games, there is more too it. They still need to eat, go for walks, be entertained, and go to the bathroom. Having a dog is like having a mini child, including how blessed we are to have them.

4. Having a dog is better than having a boyfriend

You don’t have to worry about your dog cheating on you. You don’t have to worry about the break up and heartbreak. You don’t have to worry about your dog liking other girls’ Instagram pictures. Need I say more? Your dog will be endlessly devoted to you.

5. They forgive you even when you're mean

Even when you’re having a bad day and take your bad mood out on your dog, they wont hold a grudge. They will most likely still try to snuggle with you and make it all better.

6. You can tell them all of your secrets

Why is their hair so big? It’s full of secrets. No matter what, you can tell your dog all of your deepest darkest secrets and I can guarantee you they will never get out. My dog is my walking diary and my favorite person to gossip with.

7. They love you even when you look ugly and might smell

Your dog will never ever judge you. They don’t care if you forgot to put on deodorant that day or if you haven’t washed your hair in 3 days. Is there anything better?

8. You always have something to look forward too when you come home

After that long day at school or work, feelings defeated, exhausted, sad, tired, or angry… There is nothing better than coming home to a loving creature waiting to greet you and embrace you as soon as you step your foot in the door. For that reason alone, I thank my dog everyday for being my favorite part of my day/life.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
