Why Your Dog Is Actually Your Best Friend
Veronica Castellano

Everyone knows the saying, "A dog is a man's best friend," and it is true. Dogs not only give people the company and cuddles they need, but their playful personalties tend to bring joy to anyone, especially if they are in a down mood. Without further ado, here are reasons why your dog is actually your best friend.

1.) When your friends are busy, your dog is always there for you.

If your friends are out or can't answer you while you're feeing down, your dog is always there to listen and give you comfort.


2.) They will love you unconditionally.

If you breakup with your boyfriend for a stupid reason or got fired at work, your dog will love you no matter what. Your relationship with your dog is judgment free.


3.) They are great at cuddling.

Whether it's cold outside or you need something to cuddle with when you watch a sad movie, your dog is always up for cuddling and affection. They love being pet and shown love.


4.) They know when you are upset.

Dogs have this sense of when something is wrong and will do their best to try to make you happy. They will sit next to you and comfort you, whether you're sick, miserable, or tired.


5.) They lift your mood

Studies have shown that dogs can help reduce depression and anxiety. They are always playful and their unconditional love will make you feel whole. They will do whatever it takes- cuddling or playing- to make their owner, and best friend, happy again.

Dogs are not only cute, but they are useful. They can help improve your mood and always be there for you. They are always up for cuddling and bonding, whether you want to face the world or stay inside for the night.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
