My Pet Rats Make The Best Emotional Support Animal

I've had my pet rats for a little while now and I absolutely adore them, but there are so many other things about them and their personalities that people could love.

I recently got two pet rats and I absolutely love them. They make me feel so happy having them around and bring much joy to both me and most of those around me.

I got them because I wanted an animal that would make me feel happier and so that I could be happy while I was away at college. They are meant to be my emotional support animals and they'll end up loving with me. So far, it's been really easy to take care of them and they are so adorable when I play with them.

I have two Male rats named Remy and Dobby. Remy is black and white while Dobby is orange and white. Remy is pretty outgoing while Dobby is a little skittish. They love to chew on their toys and sleeping in their hammock. Raisins are their favorite treats, but they also love eating carrots with their regular pellet food.

Though, many people think poorly of the thought of having a pet rat, I absolutely love them. Most believe they're disease ridden. Rodents and that they're disgusting. But their is a difference between wild rats and domestic rats. One could have rabies and isnt friendly while the other is cute, friendly, and adorable. Many have negative viewpoints of them, but I'm sure if they met a domestic pet rat they'd change their attitude towards them.

Pet rats are great pets to have because of their good nature, personality, and ability to learn what they are taught. Some of the people I've introduced to my pet rats changed the way they thought about them and they find them really cute now. I can't wait to show them all the kindness in the world and spoil them. They only live a couple years, but I'll make it the best years of their lives.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
