Fur babies over real babies.

5 Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than People
Megann Gaylor

I’ve always been an animal lover, but more particularly towards dogs. My life revolves around my fur babies and I am always wanting more. I would rather have a room full of dogs than a room full of people, and I’m not sorry about it. Here are five reasons why dogs are better than people:

  1. They are the best listeners. Dogs know when you’re sad and they will sit and listen to you when you want to rant about the stupid boy that stood you up or the professor that gave you a C. The best thing about it is, they don’t talk back. So basically, it’s like they always agree with you and will always be on your side.
  2. They’re always happy to see you. There is nothing that makes me more happy than opening my door and all of my dogs running and jumping into my arms. What more could you want than little balls of fur giving you lots of kisses?
  3. They are the most loyal beings. No matter what you do, your dog will always love you. They will always follow you and jump in your lap, because at the end of the day, you are their best friend.
  4. They teach you responsibilities. There’s nothing more stressful than getting a dog: Figuring out when you have to feed them, water them, take them outside, and most importantly, making sure they don’t destroy everything during their puppy stages. However, the stress will pay off once you get a schedule figured out; It is still hard to figure everything out while balancing the rest of your life at the same time.
  5. They make you happy. No matter how sad, mad, or upset I am, there is nothing that my dog can’t fix. They have a sixth sense and they can tell when something is wrong. And when you’re sad, they dog everything in their power to make you smile; whether that be by cuddling up to you or grabbing a toy and running in circles.

All in all, dogs are better than people. The only bad things about dogs is that they don't live long enough. If I had one wish it would be that my dogs could grow old with me. Nothing is better than wet nose kisses! So here's to all my dogs out there, thankful for all that my fur babies do for me!!

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
