12 Things You're Missing Out On If Your Best Friend Isn't A German Shepherd

In my perfectly unbiased opinion, German Shepherds are the best dogs that a person can have. They're sure to turn into your babies in no time. If you've been lucky enough to have a German Shepherd in your life, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, here's 12 things you're missing out on:

1.German Shepherds will make you the happiest person alive.

From day one, they'll fill your heart with joy.

2. They will always let you know that you’re safe.

Don't mind me, I'm just walking around with my personal bodyguard. Even if they wouldn't hurt a fly, people tend to not mess with German Shepherds.

3. You'll never get bored.

German Shepherds will take you on walks, they'll play fetch with you, and they'll even let you laugh at them while they chase their tails.

4. They’re the best company to keep.

Most of the time, they just want a nice belly rub and some relaxation.

5. German Shepherds are a perfect mix of beautiful and badass.

Just look at her!

6. They are incredibly obedient.

Of course, puppies are puppies. If they're raised right, they know right from wrong.

7. Training is easy, they’re fast learners.

It takes a good trainer, but they pick up on things SO quickly. My parents were surprised every time she came home with a new trick!

8. They’ll definitely steal your heart.

"OK, just one more treat!"

9. German Shepherds are the best at keeping the bed warm.

You'll have to wash your bedding often because they shed like crazy, still worth it.

10. They’ll always make you laugh when you're sad.

They'll lick away your tears, bring you their toys, and cuddle up until you're happy again.

11. Some have the most dramatic dog personalities ever.

Mine will literally throw a tantrum and fake an injury if she’s not getting enough attention. Just like momma.

12. They will be the best friend you’ve ever had.

Every minute you put into loving them will be so worth it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
