I'm Sorry But, Dogs Are Better Than Cats

If you're a dog person you will agree.

I'm Sorry But, Dogs Are Better Than Cats

Here’s the thing: I love all animals. No, really. At any given moment I am probably looking at animal videos on Facebook and whether it’s a mom raccoon helping her baby ‘coons over a fence or a donkey jumping around I gush every time. Animals are better than humans and there’s nothing you can say to make me believe otherwise. But, with all that said, what I am here to prove to you today is that dogs are better than cats.

They are always excited AF to see you when you get home. No matter what.

Cats are moody creatures. No cat listens closely to the sound of the car door shutting and barks (excitingly!) at the garage opening. Nope, not one. Dogs will do that and even great any guests. Nothing says ‘welcome to my home’ like a big kiss from a dog!

They encourage you to get outside and be active.

You have to walk a dog, while cats can be left alone for a few days without any supervision. A cat doesn’t need you in order to do their dirty business and it will eat throughout the day as it pleases. Your dog NEEDS you to take him/her outside to do his/her thang. Don’t you want to be needed?

They want to cuddle all the time and will take up more room on your bed than necessary.

Again, cats are moody creatures. Sometimes they want you to pet them, but a lot of the time they are independent and want nothing to do with being touched. Dogs love the attention, on the other hand. They just want to be loved by you and cuddled all day long! You will never sleep alone again, who doesn’t want that?

They learn their own name and can even learn cool tricks.

I am being honest here, and no I am no scientist, BUT I am unsure if your cat will ever understand what you have named him/her. A dog on the other hand, listens when you say his/her name AND can learn commands! Sit, paw, roll over, the possibilities are truly endless here, people.

Your dog will LITERALLY follow you everywhere.

You will never have privacy in the bathroom again and will constantly have an animal shadow. Anything you do, your dog will do with you. Cats, as I’ve stated before, are independent and will disappear for hours on end throughout the day. Whether they are staring at a wall or out the window, they are entertained so easily on their own that they don’t need to follow you and hang out with you all day. How rude.

So there you have it -- just a few of the reasons why dogs are infinitely better than cats. Sure, cats provide us with a lot of hilarious videos on Facebook and are quiet, easy animals to own BUT no one will love you like a dog loves you. End of story.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
