5 Reasons I Love Having Pets
me

As crazy as it seems, my pets have my back more than anyone else. I can’t imagine a world where these furry creatures didn’t exist. I am not aware of anything in this world that loves and protects like a dog or a cat. My dogs will sleep away the day with me and snuggle up with me to even prevent me from getting up. They have been there for every important decision I’ve made the past 6 years and I owe some of my happiness to them for always cheering me up when I’m down and forgiving me when I said to get off me but want them back the next minute

1. They are always excited to see you

My favorite part about going out is seeing my dog’s happy faces and have them jumping all over me when I walk through the door. No matter how long I’m gone, whether it's five hours, days, or even just minutes, their tails wag just the same.


2. They know when you are hurting

When I cry, my cat is usually there. Sometimes he will lick away the tears or he will ask for a belly rub so I get distracted.

3. They like to share

Your things at least. Like dinner? What’s yours is theirs! They might share a toy every once in a while, but that is a special occasion.

4. They are brutally honest

When I feel like singing and dancing and blasting the music, they are there with their dirty looks telling me I’d never make it as a performer. Kinda hurts but….

5. They love you no matter what.

As much as they hate my dancing they will dance with me too and be okay with it. They are there through every storm and for that I'm grateful for Jacob Norman, Oliver, and Shadow.

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.
