My Life Changed When I Met Rigby

I might be biased here. But Rigby is seriously one of the cutest puppies I've ever seen, and everyone who meets him loves him. We first got him last summer. I actually didn't pay too much attention to him for the first day we had him because I didn't want to get attached.

My younger siblings had brought him home for "one night" from summer camp, and none of us were certain that we'd get to keep him. So I just acknowledged that he was adorable and left it at that. Then we brought him home to stay. I still didn't want to get attached. I thought that since everyone wanted a chance to have him sleep in their room, I'd go ahead and claim him last.

Well, that "last" time, after everyone else had gotten a turn, became every time. I would say that I was the only one who'd get up at odd hours of the night and early in the morning to let him out. Which was true, since the other kids had to deal with some messes in the morning.

But that aside, I really just fell in love with him. I even chose the name we agreed on: Rigby, like from Regular Show. He was so small, I gave him his first few baths in the sink. He was so cute that he was compared to a Build-A-Bear. And he was so fluffy that he turned me into a squealing, puppy loving mess.

I think he actually changed my personality. Even my friends and family thought I started acting in a way they hadn't expected or seen. In other words, I simply adored him. I would repeatedly say how much I loved him, I would hog his attention, and I basically ended up making him love me more than everyone else.

They'll say that he loves them more than me, but we both know deep down it isn't true. Rigby is my fluffy buddy, a companion that I needed more than I realized. I know that some day, probably even some day soon, I'll move out of the house and I won't get to see him as often. But there's no doubt in my mind that I'll always love him, and that he'll always love me.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
