True Life: I'm Obsessed With My Dogs

My discover feed is filled with dogs, my photo stream is filled with my dog, I follow "lifewithweenies" on Instagram and I am fully obsessed with my dog.

College is hard for plenty of reasons, but most importantly, being away from my dog. I have told my parents thousands of times that usually when I come home, it is to see my dog...and do my laundry, but mostly my dog. Priorities right?

Dogs are the best friend anyone could have. They greet you at your door, happily barking and only a little upset that you left them. Sometimes you think they will have forgotten about you and think you are a stranger when you come home, but they never do.

They don't judge you for all the stupid things you've done or that are inevitably going to happen in the future. Humans get mad at you for your mistakes and judge you when you do stupid things. They are obviously inferior to your dog.

I have more pictures of and with my dog than most human beings. My snapchat story consists solely of videos and pictures of Bentley doing cute, weird and annoying things. Which is probably annoying to most people, but you know what, I fully admit I am obsessed with my dog.

Even though he occasionally pees everywhere, or eats my clothes, I get over my annoyance with him very quickly. That never happens with humans, if I get mad or annoyed I stay mad or annoyed for a while.

When I'm upset my dog always knows something is wrong, and it's both cute and annoying when he licks my tears.

Your dog loves you, no matter what, even if you accidentally step on it's paw and it yelps and you feel terrible. Seriously, injuring your dog is like injuring yourself. You feel the pain too. It loves you even though you take put his ears in a pony tail holder and give him a man bun. He might be a little annoyed for a while, but it will not last long.

I admit it, I am fully obsessed with my dog. He is the cutest thing ever and I am not afraid to admit it. I like him way more than I like humans, even when he never wants to snuggle when I do and only on his own time. For Christmas, I got a polaroid camera and the very first picture I took was a staged picture of him in front of the Christmas tree and it is framed in my room. There is just something about your dog that makes him better than anything else.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

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.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

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.
