Ten Reasons I Like Your Dog Better Than You

They don't talk over your favorite song, as they are riding in the passenger seat.

Ten Reasons I Like Your Dog Better Than You

The older I get and the more people I meet, the more I realize that I like dogs better than humans. Yes, I said it... I like your dog better than you and I would rather have a hundred pictures of them on my phone than any with you.

Here's ten reasons why:

1. They do not cause stress, they relieve it.


Sure, dogs sometimes dig holes, have an accident in the house or eat your sour cream off the counter, but they are still cute and you cannot stay mad. They never cause you stress; their presence is simply enough to alleviate any negative feelings you are having.

2. They are always excited to see you, no matter if it has been five minutes or five days.


They do not remember the last time they saw you. They are just happy to see you again. Nothing beats walking in the door and finding a dog, or two, barking and jumping on you out of excitement.

3. They appreciate the little things you do for them.


They are grateful that you took them for a walk, rubbed their back for half an hour or "accidentally" dropped a chip on the floor.

4. You do not have to beg them to cuddle you (only sometimes).

Dogs do not push you off or tell you no, as you pick them up and cuddle them on the couch or bed.

5. They won't judge you as you eat that third piece of pizza.


Because we all know we are sometimes judged by humans for eating that third piece... I appreciate you for not judging me, and for that, I will give you a bite.

6. They don't talk over your favorite song, as they are riding in the passenger seat.

Nothing is more annoying than when your favorite song comes on the radio and your friend or significant other wants to talk over it. Excuse me, "My Humps" by *The Black Eyed Peas* is playing, can you just act like a dog and admire me in silence or look out the window.

7. They do not expect anything in return for the happiness they give you.


Dogs only want your presence.

8. They do not get mad at you for staying in and watching your favorite TV show.

I need more people in my life who understand and accept that I like my bed a little too much and that leaving it is not always an option.

9. They are ADORABLE.

All. The. Time.

10. They love you unconditionally.


No matter what you say or do, dogs will show you true love.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

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.
