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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
