In my 20 years of life, I have had the honor of owning four Labrador Retrievers. Thankfully they are all still alive, but I will say it loud and with too much confidence that the Labrador Retriever is the best breed of dog ever. So without further delay... here are all the reasons why labs are the best breed of dog.

1. They are incredibly friendly

When your arch nemesis becomes your bestie.

2. They're good with kids

Olivia Jacques

When I was a child, I used to dress my dog up and he would just sit there and take it.

3. Since they retrieve, they're great hunting partners

Olivia Jacques

Or you can just throw a stick in the water and they can go after it.

4. They're very good running partners

Olivia Jacques

They're not small so they can keep up. They aren't mini-horses so you have control over your run.

5. They are quick learners

Olivia Jacques

Major key especially when trying to potty train them.

6. You can choose which color lab you want

Olivia Jacques

You really can't go wrong, though.

7. They're loyal through it all

Olivia Jacques

Through thick and thin.

8. They are the CUTEST pups

Olivia Jacques

I mean, come on. Look at that face.

9. They really are your best friend

Olivia Jacques

Even though they are just dogs, at the end of the day they're so much more. They're just like a member of the family. They know when you're upset. They let you annoy them. They sit there when you vent to them and they're the best secret keepers.

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?
