5 Reasons Dogs Are A Blessing In Life
Erika Sheets

If you've ever had a dog you'll know how it feels to have that one true "best friend." I mean they are called "man's best friend" for a reason.

Dogs are such a pure animal; although they can be mischievous quite a bit you'll never find a better animal to have as a pet in your household. I remember begging my parents to get another dog after my first dog (Sammy) had to be put down because of the sense of loss I had after losing something that had been there my whole life.

Losing a dog is like losing a part of the family that can never be replaced. Life is so much more significant with a trusty companion such as a dog for many reasons; so many that are way too long to list. However, here are some reasons why dogs will never disappoint you if you choose to own one.

1. They Are Adorable

All shapes, sizes, and color I almost guarantee you will never find a dog that doesn't pull at your heartstrings a lil when they give you that "puppy-dog look."

2. They do the funniest things that its almost ridiculous

From running into walls to just being goofy, dogs can crack you up with the smallest things you didn't even know could make you laugh. They definitely can be unaware of their surroundings at times.

3. They are always up for cuddling


No boyfriend? No Problem! Dogs are always up for giving a little love. Anywhere or any time of the day they never refuse to cuddle up and take a nap. So if you love naps as much as I do, this is a match made in heaven.

4. They love to love, and they know when you need it the most


No matter who you are, dogs generally will love on you whether its the millionth time you've seen them or its the first time. Dogs also know when you're upset to believe it or not and that's when they try to give us the most love to cheer us up.

5. They will always be loyal to you

The best part of having a dog is that they will always stay loyal to their owner no matter what. Dogs are the most loyal pet you could ever own.Trust me you won't be disappointed!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
