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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
