I Let My Dog Sleep In My Bed

I sleep very warm and cuddled up with both of my fifty-pound dogs.

I Let My Dog Sleep In My Bed

"Ew, you let your dog sleep in your bed?"

"Your bed is going to smell like a dog"

"I would never sleep in a dog that a dog sleeps in"

Yes my dog sleeps with me, every single night. She even sleeps with me when I nap; if I am in the bed she is to, even if we are just watching television.

At this point in my life, I am a single young woman which means I'm sleeping alone y'all. Instead of sleeping alone every night, I sleep very warm and cuddled up with both of my fifty pound dogs: I know, gross!

However, both of my dogs are inside dogs. They last maybe fifteen minutes outside on a perfect day. Every time they come inside from going to the bathroom, I wipe their feet so that they don't track dirt and whatever else into the home. Also, I bath my dogs, often! So they are not stinky dogs, they are actually very well groomed. But I get it, dogs are still dogs. My sheets still get full of dog hair and sometime do start to smell a little like a dog, but to fix that problem, I wash and change my sheets often.

If you aren't a dog person you're still cringing at the thought of an animal in your bed, but if you are a dog lover you know exact what I am saying. I love when my dogs get closer to me during the night when they're cold or just miss me I guess. I enjoy their presence during the night especially when I'm feeling lonely they remind me I am not alone.

The bottom line being I sleep with my dogs in MY bed, and if that bothers you then I guess you should be sleeping in your own bed anyway.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
