When it comes to pets, there are all types of favorites people have. There are some people that are "cat people"; some people are "reptile people". However, the "dog people" are my favorite types, possibly because that's where I fall in line. In my opinion, dogs are the best kinds of pets ever for so many reasons.

1. They are always are happy to see you.

Whether you come home from an exhausting day of school or it's early in the morning, your dog is always happy to see you. They love to show you that they are happy to see you as well. Some dogs jump up and down while others just ran back and forth. Even when they have their bad moments, they are still good pets.

2. They love you, unconditionally.

A dog will love you no matter what. They always want to be your friend. Dogs are so good about comforting you in a time of need as well. No matter if it is a good day or a bad day, dogs are always there for support and love. It's basically like you're already married.

3. They love to play with you at any time of the day.

Something I have learned about dogs is that THEY LOVE TO PLAY. Every dog is different and plays in different ways. However, they all love to play with you. Whether that's inside or outside, with a toy or just playing with your hand, dogs are very playful.

4. They make great cuddle buddies.

Even though dogs are super playful, they have their calm and sweet moments too. Dogs make the best cuddle buddies. You could literally be watching Netflix and your dog just wants to cuddle right beside you. Dogs love it when their owners are near them and love to be touched and petted, so they are almost always down for some cuddle time.

5. They are loyal and protective.

One of the great things about dogs is that most of them are super good guard dogs. Literally, my dog will bark at a person that's not even close to the house, so she makes a pretty great guard dog. They are also super loyal. They won't just walk off and go to another person and be like "your my owner now". They will stay with you always and never leave your side.

To some people, dogs may seem like a lot of work, but they are totally worth it. To all of my fellow "dog people" out there, love your dog for many reasons, but definitely these!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
