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

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

Major key especially when trying to potty train them.

6. You can choose which color lab you want

You really can't go wrong, though.

7. They're loyal through it all

Through thick and thin.

8. They are the CUTEST pups

I mean, come on. Look at that face.

9. They really are your best friend

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.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
