Anyone who knows anything about me can say without a doubt that I am completely obsessed with my family dog. Seriously though, what is there not to love about dogs anyway? They're always excited to see you no matter how long you've been away. They sit and listen if you want to complain about your problems. Most importantly, they're always down for some good cuddling. Having a dog is probably the greatest thing ever, but if your dog is truly your best friend, you know these things to always be true.

1. You have more pictures of your dog on your phone than anything else

Your dog is taking a nap? Picture. They just rolled over and look like they're kinda smiling? Picture. Playing with their toy? Picture. Sleeping again? Picture. Picture. Picture.

2. You then show every living person the results of said photoshoot

You think your friends are going to look at the 30 photos of your sleepy pup with Spongebob's excitement, but that's usually not the case.

3. You'd rather sit at home with your dog than go out on the weekends

They never argue about which show you should watch, and they don't care if you haven't washed your hair for three days because you've been binge watching.

4. You've seriously wished you could trade places with your dog for at least a day

They get to sleep all day, never have to get dressed, receive endless scratches, and can eat as much as they want? Sounds like the life for me.

5. Whenever you pet another dog you feel like your cheating on your own dog

You worry when you get home your dog will smell the other dog on your hands and never trust you to leave the house again.

6. You'll use any excuse to squeeze your dog into the conversation

"Oh, you went to Hawaii for spring break? My dog has this little Hawaiian shirt we put him in and it is just the cutest thing in the world."

It really doesn't matter if your dog is thousands of miles away at your parent's house or if you rescued them your senior year and see them every day. Either way, having your dog as your best friend is the best. Human friends are cool too, but honestly, we all know our dogs are the true best friends for life. They don't call them man's best friend for nothing.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
