Come here, boy!

How Losing A Pet Can Feel Like The End Of The World

Everyone has had that one pet that you cannot wait to come home and see. Or if you are not on the better side of the spectrum, the pet that you did not want to come home and see because you know how dastardly they were going to be. Regardless of the side that you are on, it is hard to picture what life would be like without them right?

Picture it, no more coming home to the eager pet waiting by the window or the door, no more coming to noises or racket, now you are home with a house of dead silence. You call them and they no longer come. Those have to be the saddest moments in the world.

Personally, my annoying little racket was a kitten named Diablo. He in fact was a little devil, but to me he was different. He was my best friend. He kept me company through all the stuff I went through. When we got another kitten named Nelly, he was not happy, I mean I would not be happy if he got another human, but soon enough they were inseparable. My favorite part of the day was knowing I was coming home to them, because there was always something to come home too.

Eventually though I had no choice but to give them both up. It hurt me a lot as silly as it sounds. But losing a pet, even if it is not to death is not an easy ordeal. Eventually they become part of your family, like a baby or a sibling. I am sure that all of you have experienced this in a more severe or less severe instance, and if you have not then I hope that you never will have to.

As time continues to go on, it does become more and more easy to deal with, but you will always have those memories in the back for your head and that little part of you that misses them and the little part that may regret that you had to give them up. It’s like a what if thought, and the only way to get rid of it is to just remember that now they are in a great home regardless of the hardships that you and your furry little friend had to go through. It will eventually turn into a thought of piece.

Even you guys with the crazy pets that you think you will never miss will go through this. One day there will be nothing for you to be mad at, or no mess waiting for you when you get home. Regardless if the thought was only for an instance, it will be one of the saddest. Life with animals and pets can be wonderful, it can be annoying, and it can be painful. It also can only be what you make it. Good luck to anyone that has to go through this, I know how it feels to lose a furry best friend.

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?
