I miss you so much.

An Open letter to my Dog at Home.
Ana Olson

Hey baby girl,

I know I’ve been gone for a while, but I’m off at college. I miss you so much! I miss waking up to you jumping on my bed in the morning. Even though in the moment I get kind of annoyed.

I miss coming home every night to you greeting me at the door. I just want you to know that I’m not away on purpose, and that I’ll be home again soon.

I miss your little yawns when you wake up from the three hour naps you take. I love you so much! As I’m sitting here writing this to you, home for the weekend you are laying on my lap snoring… my heart is melting.

I miss being able to take endless selfies with you-- my camera roll is no longer filled with the thousands of picture I’ve taken of you, but the ones mom has sent me.

Last week when I facetimed home and asked to see you I almost cried-- when I said your name and you looked around the room it made me feel so bad for leaving you. I miss how cute you look when you sunbathe-- sometimes I swear your a cat and not a dog.

I miss the tiny pitter patter of your little paws--my apartment is so quiet and empty without you. I miss how annoying you can be always wanted to sit on my lap at the worst possible times like when I’m doing homework-- or even now as your half on my lap half on my bed fast asleep.

I miss snuggling with you after a long hard day, and taking you on walks--they just make you so happy. I miss your endless energy and spunk at odd hours like 3 in the morning-- when you just really want to play, but I’m sleeping.

I hope you know how loved you are dear, because the hardest thing about being away from home for so long is not seeing you. You can call your parents and talk… but you can’t do that with a puppy.

Even though your barking and endless squirrel stalking can get a little frustrating, I miss you even more when I hear other dogs barking on campus-- or when I see them becuase they are not you.

I’ll be home again soon, and I can’t wait to take you to the dog park and play with you. I’ll see you soon love.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make.

You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
