Yes, My Dog is My best Friend

Who knew one could love something with four legs and a tail so much.

Best friends are great. They're always there for you whether it be to give their opinion on an outfit or help you when you're crying over the same person for the fifth time. Best friends are kind of like the family we never asked for, but the ones we'll always be thankful for. For a lot of people, their best friend is some one they went to school with or maybe a cousin, who knows. Well for me... my best friend is my dog.

Obviously dogs can't talk. They can't compliment your new hair cut, make sarcastic jokes with you, help you pick out an outfit for a date, tell you everything will be okay, and.. well I think you get the point. Even though they can't do that, they're still capable of so much more.

The thing that really gets me is how happy they get when they see us. It doesn't matter if I've been gone for five minutes, five hours, five days, months, etc. he's always there waiting by the door the moment he sees my car pull in to the driveway. Opening the door, I'm always attacked with a plethora of love and doggie kisses to last a life time. It just warms my heart seeing how happy he gets just to see me again.

Dogs have a way of sensing when things aren't okay and if science can't prove it, I will. Whenever I'm sad my normally crazy and rambunctious puppy (I don't care how old he is, he will always be my puppy) completely changes himself to comfort me. Instead of jumping on me and attacking me with kisses, he just quietly lays himself next to me and looks at me, almost as if he's checking to make sure that I'm okay. And when I'm happy, I can tell that he's happy for me.

There's just something about dogs that make them the best best friends. I like to think that they think of us as their best friends too, but who knows what they're actually thinking about. Our dogs are only there for part of our life... but for our dogs—we're their entire life.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
