To My Dog, Who Was Gone Too Soon, I Hope You're Doing Everything You Love In Doggy Heaven
Abby Sweeney

To my dog, who was gone too soon.

You were only with us for four years, and I wish we could have had longer together. You weren't just my dog, but my birthday twin, my friend, my partner in crime, my everything. Thank you, for just being you. Thank you for being the nicest dog I had ever met. For being the goofiest dog. Thank you for making me laugh until I cried. For always knowing when I was upset and just being there.

Even on the day you went to heaven, you knew I was sad and came to sit next to me. In the two years that we had you and our other dog Bonnie, thank you for helping her enjoy her last couple of years with us.

I wish I could have spent more time with you. I wish we could have gone on more walks together. I wish we could have gone on more adventures. I wish we could have spent more birthdays together. I wish I could've thrown the beat up old soccer ball that you loved so much for you one last time. I wish I could see you run around the yard one last time. I wish I could drive around with you as my co-pilot again. I wish I could take you to Rita's or Starbucks to get a pup cup or puppuccino again.

I miss coming home and seeing you at the door. I miss hearing your paws against the hardwood floor. I miss throwing your toys for you. I miss hearing your bark when someone was at the door. I miss seeing your tail wag 100 miles per hour. I miss seeing you come in from outside. I miss seeing you sitting in the shade when I looked out the window. I miss the little white furs by your nose. I miss switching the bandana you wore every so often. I miss introducing you to new people. I miss knowing you were right around the corner.

I miss you.

Now that you are in heaven, and it is a better place for you, I hope you are playing with all of the other dogs. I hope you are doing everything you love, which is too long of a list to start.

I hope we gave you the best time on earth in the four short years we had you because you gave me the best time. I miss you.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
