11 Reasons Why Dogs Make The Best Friends
Isabella Glover

"When I am down and oh my soul so weary, when troubles come and my heart burdened be. Then I am still and wait here in the silence, until you come and sit a while with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas. I am strong, when I am on your shoulders, you raise me up, to more than I can be." When the great Josh Groban sings this song, most people think of some simple human being who has helped them grow into the person they are. When I hear this song, rather when I play it on repeat, all I can think about is one single gal. She is caring. She is affectionate. I light up her life the minute I walk through the door and she does the same to me. Her name is Jazzy Pickles. My dear, sweet child is the most important thing in my life and I have never had a single companion better than her. Just to prove her greatness to you, here are some of her most endearing qualities.

1. She is always excited to see me.

I am not kidding, she will literally pee her pants just because I am in her presence. That is a sign of true friendship.

2. She has that calm, chill side too.

She is not always wild and crazy. She is the perfect balance of peaceful and psychotic.

3. She knows how important it is to become good friends with my good friends.

She knows how to look damn cute and curious doing it too.

4. Okay, maybe she's not perfect.

Sometimes she will choose your Pepaw over you, but that is just what makes her so down to earth.

5. She will not tolerate any sort of trickery or mischief.

Oh, boy, does she know that this sir is up to no good. Jazzy Pickles is not going to take that crap, no siree.

6. She is determined to give you her company, whatever the price.

The price here just so happens to be her dignity and all for what, a simple game of scrabble with you?This here is true friendship, I daresay.

7. She will pose for pictures even if she thinks you look like a basic idiot and a fool.

The disdain is apparent in her eyes.

8. She barks at me frequently, "you are the joy of my life and I love you so dearly!"

Friends are supposed to be your biggest fans, aren't they?

9. She will do what I want, but she knows how to take advantage of the situation for herself.

Good friends have a mind of their own. They will go hiking with you when you ask them, but they will also mark their territory as they so please.

10. She is feisty and keeps me humble.

Whenever she feels I am getting to high on myself or even too high on her, she will do whatever she can to take me down a notch. I am so appreciative to have such a pal.

11. She is not afraid to ask the tough questions.

Here she was saying "why are you the way that you are?"

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.
