Dogs Are Better Than Boys

Dogs are there more for us than boys are.

Dogs Are Better Than Boys
Kori McKeever
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.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
