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
Michaela Jensen

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.

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.

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.

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.
