5 Reasons Why Your Pet Is The Real Reason You Go Home
Stewartville Chamber

Saying I love animals would be a gross understatement. My life is not complete without constant videos of furry goodness on my Facebook wall. While leaving home for college was tough, leaving my pet was actually the worst.

Animals bring out the best in us, and while it is scientifically proven, you don't need science to know that anytime you see a fluffy bundle of joy walking around campus, your day gets exponentially better.

Home is amazing -- free food, free laundry, just free everything, but if you're really honest with yourself, you know that your pet is actually the best reason to go home, and here's why:

1. They don't judge your GPA

.

Or your choice in guys, Mcdonald's runs at 4 a.m., or tequila decisions.

2. They love you unconditionally

As long as they can be near you, they're happy. Unlike Brad from English Lit...

3. You always know what you're getting from them


Unlike the Russian Roulette you play every time you eat at EVK...

4. They never get tired of your rants

.

Friends may have to take a break, but your pet will never leave you when you're freaking out about Jen's tone through text for the 50th time.

5. They were your first best friend


And they taught you the kind of love you deserve.

We can all agree that pets are the best, even if we can't agree that pineapple should go on pizza.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
