They Give Kisses Instead Of Heartbreaks, And 5 Other Reasons I Keep Choosing Dogs Over Relationships
Rachel Mount

Okay so originally I was like yeah dogs are relatable, I would easily choose another puppy from the shelter over a man who could snap my heart in half. But then, I started thinking about how I would honestly choose basically any animal over starting a new relationship right now.

Why? I see it as more of, why not?

There's a reason all sane humans have their day completely changed when they come in contact with a little fluffer, even if it's half a mile away. Not to mention that I follow so many dog accounts, yet no hot guy IGs. Canceled!

1. Dogs can't talk, duh

Yeah so they bark, but they can't talk back. Am I the only one that's come up with an entire language for my dog? Like her certain barks, I'm all oh Sasha doesn't want to be in the shade anymore. I'm not crazy I swear.

2. The best cuddlers out there

First problem, not all guys like a good cuddle. Hell, I don't like it half the time. I need my space too man. But when it comes to dogs? All bets off. And no matter the dog, it somehow fits perfectly in your arms.

3. Shopping for them is so fun

I'd more likely need a leash to bring a guy shopping then to get my dog to follow me around the store. One of my favorite moments is throwing my pup her newest toy, or opening a new bag of dog treats.

4. You make tons of friends

There's not one dog that will pass me by where I don't want to drop everything I'm doing and pet him/her. I'm also so much more apt to start a conversation with someone who has a dog. Ya know, cause dog people are great people.

5. An instant happiness boost

When I come home, and my dog runs up to me all excited (even though it's been like, 15 minutes), my heart grows 10 sizes.

6. Endless love

Ever been attacked by licks and kisses and maintained a bad mood? Me either.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
