7 Reasons A Dog Is Better Than A Boyfriend

Those furry little creatures we all love so much.

I have had two dogs for basically my whole life and as boyfriends have come and gone, they are still around. I have found them incredibly better than any boy I've ever met. Here are the reasons why:

1. They never get mad at you. 

You could make the stupidest mistake, and your dog will not know and not care. They will always just want to love you.

2. You can choose when you want to be with them or not. 

With boyfriends, they might get mad if you decide one day you actually don't feel like hanging out with them. However, you close your door and your dog will leave you alone without its feelings getting hurt.

3. They are less dramatic. 

I have found that boys are much more dramatic than girls. Dogs, however, are pretty easy to understand. All they want is food and to be pet.

4. They love you unconditionally. 

No matter what, your dog will be there for you. When I was younger I accidentally stepped on my dogs foot and I cried thinking my dog would hate me, however he seemed to not even know it happened and continued being his loving self towards me.

5. You get to choose everything you do together. 

You want to sit on the couch, that's what your dog does. You want to take him for a walk in the park, that's what your dog does. There's no being dragged to sports games or weird parties that you don't actually want to go to.

6. They take up less of the bed. 

Boyfriends literally take up half your bed and probably roll around in their sleep. Dogs will crawl into their corner, and not move for the rest of the night.

7. They're more comfy. 

Boyfriends are filled with large bones that can be uncomfortable. Dogs are covered in fur which makes them so much more pleasing when you want to be laying with something.

In conclusion, boys can be great and all, but if you are looking for someone new to add to your life, get a dog.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
