The One Thing That I Love The Most

I won the award, "girl in her sorority most likely to take her dog to formal."

The One Thing That I Love The Most

There are many things I love, but the one thing that I love the most is my dog.

My love for my dog has been proven because I won the "girl in her sorority most likely to take her dog to formal" award, and to say the least, I was pretty proud of myself.

My mom, sister and I got our dog about seven years ago. I can still remember the day we drove up to pick her up. She was so nervous and was drooling all over my shirt the whole ride back home. I was so happy to take her home, and I couldn't wait to start training her and getting her transitioned into her new home.

As time went on, I fell in love with my doggie more and more. She is such a goofy dog and always makes me laugh.

She loves when I talk to her... If only she actually knew what I was saying. She will listen to you and turn her head from side to side as if she were analyzing what you are saying to her. She does, of course, understand the words "treat" and "outside." If you say either of them, she will go wacko and run around the house like a mad dog. It is so funny to watch her go crazy.

Her favorite foods are peanut butter and carrots. I know this because if I eat either of them, she will beg like no other in hopes that I will share with her.

She also likes cuddling...sometimes. She likes to sleep in our beds, and hers sometimes when she is annoyed with people. Even though she doesn't like to cuddle a lot, she will take naps on my feet when I'm laying on the couch, and she will cuddle up next to my side. It is so cute to watch her sleep.

Having a dog is like having a personal vacuum cleaner. She will always clean up spilled food or crumbs on the floor, which makes it less work for me, because she loves food.

If I ask her to go on a walk, she will respond with a really excited jumping movement. Just seeing her excited gets me excited and motivated to go get some exercise.

My dog can sense bad things. She makes a great guard dog. She has a frightening bark, but a body the size of my left arm. She will bark at anyone who walks by, other dogs or when the doorbell rings. Also, she barks at the TV when she sees any other sort of animal. (Yeah I know, it is weird -- and annoying, after a while.)

My dog is my best friend.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
