10 Pros And Cons All Dog Owners Have Experienced
Helena Lopes

I have always wanted to own a dog because there are so many good reasons to get one. Nevertheless, when I finally got my dog, I realized that not everything is perfect. However, I would still not change a thing. So, here is a list of the pros and cons of having a dog.

1. Your most loyal friend

2. Having to clean up...Poop


Yup! Poop and any other disaster they make. The bigger your dog the more it poops...oops!

3. They are always happy


Imagine having a long day and getting home to see your dog jumping all around because he/she is so happy to see you.

4. Having long walks

Yes, thanks to them you get to do some exercise and enjoy the beauty of nature.

5. Training

You really have to put in some time if you want them to learn how to behave.

6. You get to play dress-up

I know that not all dogs like to wear clothes, but when they do, they look so cute.

7. Taking care of them

You know it is not easy to keep up with all the things that your dog needs--for example, grooming, vaccinations, training, and feeding them appropriately.

8. Companionship

They are always there for you, specially when you need them the most.

9. They constantly want attention

They really do not like to be alone.

10. They need space

If your house is small or have any more pets, then this may be a problem.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
