Why Dogs Are The Best

They are definitely man's best friend.

Why Dogs Are The Best
Abbie Frankel

Dogs have been man's best friend since forever. I have two beautiful little cockapoos (a mix between cocker spaniels and poodles), and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I love them with all of my heart.

Dogs have the natural ability to brighten the room by wagging their tails. If you are ever sad, a dog is sure to turn that frown upside down. There is just no way that you can keep yourself from smiling when you are around a dog.

Sometimes they can be slightly annoying when they are continuously barking or begging for food, but I can promise you that you will not stay mad for long. Their pout will immediately melt your heart and everything will be okay again.

Dogs are like mini dishwashers. If you are ever feeling lazy, your dog will gladly lick your plate clean, as long as the food is safe for their consumption. Think about all of the time you could save if they clean your dishes for you!

They also tend to act as a shower. Whether you have been away from your dog for a long time or even three minutes, the reunion can and will get a little intense. Your dog will kiss (or lick) you until they cover your whole body with their love.

Dogs are incredibly loyal. Your friend that you were supposed to go to the park with bailed on you? No problem, your dog will never bail on you or your plans, especially if it involves taking a trip to the park. They will always be there to hang out with you.

If you do not sleep with your dog(s), they will be the first to greet you in the morning. One of my dogs will even wait at my door wagging her tail until I wake up.

No matter their size, your dog will fight for your protection. If they ever sense danger, they will prioritize your safety. Even the tiniest dog seems to be a giant when they need to guard you. They will, without fail, have your back.

Dogs are always willing to cuddle up with you on a rainy day and watch a movie. You will not even have to worry about agreeing on a film! What is better than a movie with your best friend on a rainy afternoon? Beats me!

They will stick around through the ups and downs. Dogs have a really bad short term memory so forgiving and forgetting is easy for them, especially the forgetting part. Nonetheless, they will always be by your side.

Dogs make you want to be a better person. They have a heart of gold and they inspire people to have the same. Dogs make us better people.

And last but certainly not least, there is no one that will love you more than your dog does. The unconditional love they provide you with is one like no other.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
