"Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in."- Mark Twain

Dogs are honestly the happiest creatures on this planet. No matter how bad their day was at the vet, how cold it is outside, or how dirty their water source is they never complain and they never seem to be anything less than happy. They love us unconditionally, through every flaw, every mood swing, and every bad day we go through. Dogs are always there to listen to us, no matter the subject, and although it may be because they have no clue what we are talking about, they still don’t change their mood, never wavering from their happy state of mind.

Only when they become sick, hurt, or abandoned do dogs begin to show that they can’t always be their happy selves, yet somehow they still seem to have brightness in their eyes. When they grow old, they still find ways to stumble to their human counterparts, always looking to receive the same compassion and love that they have given us. From puppies learning how to eat proper food, to the senior dogs who would rather lie down by a warm fireplace than go on a long walk, they are always there as our companions.

Dogs are honestly one of the most versatile animals that the human race has been blessed with. From K-9 units, rescuers, therapy workers, senior home companions, wartime heroes, and best friends, dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and responsibilities. They have been with us for centuries, working by our sides since their domestication and continue to be more than just man's best friend.

Dogs all go to heaven because they do more for us than we do for us. They could care less about the quality of food that they eat, yet care more about the mood we are in. No matter the breed, the love and affection rarely wavers, and they rarely care who you are. Dogs never complain about the life they are given, and although they have no voice in this human run world, they still manage to show us how much they love their lives and the people they are surrounded with.

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
