The 'I Haven't Seen My Dogs In 2 Months' Blues

Missin' the pups, just like always.

The 'I Haven't Seen My Dogs In 2 Months' Blues
Gracie Harris

As I begin the hour and a half trek back home, I am traveling 90+ mph with one motivation in sight - my dogs.

Since coming to college, I have realized how emotionally attached I am to my sweet doggies. I didn't realize when I came to college how impaired I would be without my three lil munchkins - Gus, Winnie, and Kramer.

My prodigies, loves of my life, cuddle buds, and bffs. I think most college students would find this #relatable because most college kids don't have the luxury of coming home from a hard test day, finding yet again another parking ticket, or being overwhelmed from midterms to find those big brown puppy eyes ready to settle your spirits. That is why I have decided to write this article. Primarily to vent regarding the severe separation anxiety I have experienced this past semester while living apart from my three homies.

Honestly, this article probably doesn't have a significant or underlying meaning to it other than the fact to brag on my sweet pups. You see, daily FaceTime calls to my dogs are a thing, bringing them up in daily conversations are definitely a thing, and random visitations home to see them are also a thing because priorities, amirite.

Literally, I feel so blessed to have my dogs, yanno. Like they definityley recognize my absence yet they don't throw a tantrum when I finally return. They accept me back into their lives with paws wide open because they are 99% love and 1% bad breath. They don't ask you about your grades or why you let your pumpkin rot outside of your dorm room into the carpet. Nope, they just sit there and love on you no matter the circumstance. Therefore, as I approach Thanksgiving break I can undoubntedly attest that no amount of mashed potatoes, stuff, or turkey can compare to the excitmenet of being reunited with the three cutest things to ever walk this earth.

With that being said, I encourage all of y'all this Thanksgiving break to take adavanatge of the sweet time you have with your doggies.

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 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?
