A Thank You To Pets

Where would we be without our furry friends?

A Thank You To Pets
Beth Weeks

Whether you are a die-hard cat or dog person, one thing can be said about you, nonetheless. If you take the time to think about it, you have a lot to thank your pet for. I still can't get over how stinking cute my cat and dog are, it's probably obnoxious, but newsflash. I really don't care. Pets somehow manage to become our best friends without ever saying a word to us. You can never truly be alone if you have your pet with you.

Thank you to our pets for sharing their whole lives with us. They may only be around for part of our time on earth, but we play a major role in their entire lives. That's an incredible thing to be able to share, make sure you don't let it go to waste.

Pets know when we're sad and try to comfort us. Pets can sense our emotions and try to make us feel better. I know when I'm sad, my cat head butts me and makes me pet him and my dog lays on my lap and licks my arm and smiles at me. Pets are intelligent and they have the ability to surprise us every single day.

Being greeted at the door by my dog and cat is a favorite part of my day. Our pets love when we come home, even if you live with other people, they get excited to see each person return. It's uplifting for you as a pet owner and for them as your furry legged friend.

Each pet has their own weird quirks, which as your owner you see as adorable, even when it may be kind of annoying. My cat won't eat food unless someone walks down the stairs with him and stands by his food dish for a minute. My dog chases you down the hall and barks at you if you walk in the house without petting him. I bet your pet has weird habits too, but they just make you love them all the more.

They are just too dang cute and I can't get over it. I'm that annoying pet owner who will post pictures of my pet to my Snapchat story and put the heart eye emoji. Guaranteed, at least once a week. Sleeping pets are even cuter, especially when they start dreaming. All animals are cute, it can't even be denied.

You can talk to your pet about anything, I know it sounds crazy. When I'm upset or stressed out my dog can tell. He follows me around with sad eyes and wags his tail when I look at him. When I talk to him, he stands there and looks at me. I tell him about life and I feel a little better. Maybe that makes me a crazy dog lady, but I think we both like the heart-to-hearts.

When life is hard, we can always count on our four-legged friends. They're always there and willing to make you feel better. It's only right that we make sure our pets are always happy and healthy, too. Let's be honest, it's only right to be totally obsessed with our pets and spoil them to no end.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
