6 Reasons Everyone Needs An English Bulldog In Their Life

You know how every family claims there is a favorite child and usually there is not. My mom says she loves us just the same, but my little sister swears that I'm the favorite. And of course, I used to think the same about her. She was the one who got away with everything, she's the baby.

Well, everything switched during my senior year in highschool. My family got Eugene. Now, this may sound like we hired a male old nanny to come live with us, but despite the name, he's not human. However, he sure does think he is.

Everyone meet my parent's favorite child, their pride and joy, the one and ONLY Eugene Joseph Whidden:


Yes I know, he's adorable.

And of course I am extremely jealous of his favorite status in the Whidden household, but he really is a great dog. I truly think that everyone deserves to have an English Bulldog in their lives. Here's Why:

1. They're Helpful!

Eugene always tries to help me study and keeps me company while I do my homework.

2. They enjoy spending time with you

Eugene hates being hot, but he hates not being around his humans even more. So, if its a tanning day for me, its a tanning day for Gene!

3. They come to the rescue on boring car rides. 

All you have to say is the 2 magic words: GENE GO! and all the sudden his short and stubby little legs turn into springs and he will be joining you in the car in no time!

4. They're always down for naps 

They sleep as often as you'll let them but they never want to miss out on adventures.

5. They're the funniest dogs on the planet.

Eugene is truly hysterical. He is stubborn but he is loyal and he makes me laugh everyday.

6. Lastly, They're adorable.

Just look at him!!!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
