Dogs Are Better Than Boys

Dogs are there more for us than boys are.

Who needs boys?

As I've gotten older it seems everyone I know is either getting into new relationships, getting engaged, or getting married while I sit at home on Friday nights and binge watching Netflix with my dog. The situation is not one of the worst to be in. In my opinion, it is one of the best. Instead of dwelling on the fact that my weeks are without a special "date night" I'm going to list the positives of having a dog.

1. Dogs are always down to cuddle.

It doesn't matter what time of day.

2. You have the perfect co-pilot on every road trip.

Roll the windows down and turn on the tunes.

3. They're always happy when you come home.

If you leave for thirty minutes or a week, you will be missed greatly.

4. They won't mind when you're in the mood for a romcom.

Groaning and complaining isn't really their style.

5. You have the best exercise buddy.

Just by spelling the word walk you can get a reaction out of almost every dog.

6. There will be no complaints about your cooking.

Chances are they won't even taste it as they scarf it down.

7. There will always be someone ready to protect you.

Even if it is just from the innocent pizza guy.

8. Dogs don't mind what you look like in the morning.

Chances are they won't mind sleeping in either.

9. You will have someone who constantly enjoys your company.

Between all the treats and belly rubs your dog will never leave you.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
