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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
