College Break

As Told By Dogs

Breaks from college are great! I get to see my dogs. I don’t have classes. I get to see my dogs. I can relax at home with my family. I get to see my dogs. I can rest a bit before stressing about my homework. What am I forgetting? Oh yeah! I get to see my dogs! If there is one group more excited than college students for breaks from school, it is the pets of college students. For me, I am lucky enough to walk through the door to five wagging tails attached to five excited dogs, all of them jumping for their chance to give me kisses. I only wonder how they feel about me coming home for break.

College break, as told by dogs:

1. Anticipation

One of my favorite humans said that one of my other favorite human is finally coming back! When will they get here? How long have they been gone? Oh I miss them! I’m going to wait right here until they get back!

2. Hearing a Car Door Close

This one must be my human for sure! It has to be! I’ve been waiting here for… a long time! I really want my human to walk through that door!

3. Hearing Steps on the Stair

It is my human! They’re finally here! I have to rush to the door to meet them when they walk in!

4. Why Is My Human Taking So Long?

It seems like I’ve been running for forever! Why aren’t they in here yet? Has this hallway gotten longer? I need to be at the door when they walk in!

5. Greeting My Human

My human requires a lot of attention. If I don’t give my human the appropriate amount of attention the moment they walk through the door, they turn around and leave again! I know my human loves kisses, so I make sure to give my human a lot of kisses and attention!

6. Receiving Treats

My human loves to give me extra food when they have been gone for so long. I know it brings them joy, so it would only be selfish of me to ignore their desire to give me treats, right?

7. My Human Seems Sad…?

My human has only been home for… a short time, but they seem to be sad? I must not have given the appropriate amount of attention to my human. I know what I can do! ACTIVATE: Puppy Mode!

8. Leaving Already?!

My human is already leaving?! This can’t be true! Where are they going? Why would they want to leave me? Last time they left, they left for… a really long time! They aren’t even out of the door yet and I’m already feeling down. Will they come back for me?

9. Car Door?

What? Are they back already! Oh my dogness, I thought they were leaving me forever! I need to be ready! I have to meet them at the door! Oh I am so glad they came back!

My dogs certainly miss me when I’m gone. Surely they know I’ll return to them, right?

How do your dogs react when you come back home? Do they know that you need appropriate levels of attention?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
