11 Things Dog Lovers Know Too Well

Every once in a while, a person is blessed with the presence of a dog in their life. From that point on, loving dogs is all that you will know and you will become obsessed. It's all because of their charming good looks, their adorable personalities, and their willingness to help others. And with loving dogs beyond belief, come some things that dog lovers certainly know all too well.

1. All dogs are considered cute.

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, yet every single dog is just as cute as the rest. Like, come on, look how cute they are!

2. They're down to cuddle when no one else is.

Forget about your boyfriend or girlfriend. Dogs are willing to cuddle with you no matter what. They don't care if you haven't showered in days or if your hair gets in their face when you're spooning, they're just down for some good ole cuddling.

3. They're always down to exercise with you.

Although dogs tend to pull when they walk (who blames them, they're probably excited), they never say no to exercising with you. They are without even knowing it, encouraging you to look your ultimate best.

4. Getting a puppy for Christmas is your lifelong dream.

Forget the pony and the piles of clothes that you'll never wear. Get the gift of unconditional love. Nothing is cuter than a puppy in a Santa hat anyways. And it's granted to make you cry from happiness.

5. There's no such thing as a "bad breed of dog".

Dog breeds such as pit bulls, rottweilers, and German Shepard get bad reputations for being "vicious". Although this is not completely untrue, any true dog lover knows not to discriminate. It's all about how you raise them. Besides, the chihuahua is statistically the most vicious dog breed and you don't see them getting hated on.

6. Your hardest goodbye is always the one you say to your dog.

Leaving your dog is easily one of the hardest things that a person has to do and involves crying for hours on end. They don't know you're leaving, when you'll be back, or if you'll ever come back. And thinking about their sadness just tears you apart. Just make it easy on yourself and don't leave them. Ever.

7. Seeing a dog makes your day.

College students can all easily relate to this. Seeing a dog whenever you don't expect to can make your day and there is a 100 percent chance that I will pet him. I am not sorry.

8. Work really means providing for your future dog.

Everyone knows that when it comes to working, you break your back just so you can provide your dog with the best life possible. Who would you rather spoil than your dog? The answer is no one.

9. Your clothes always look like this.

No matter how hard you try, you always end up with several pieces of dog fur left on your clothing. There's really no point in owning a lint roller anymore because fur will end up on your clothes the minute it is taken off.

10. You don't know how humans got so blessed to have dogs in our lives.

Dogs are easily one of the most loyal, trustworthy, and friendly animals on the planet. How did we even get so lucky to have them in the presence of our life?

11. But, you're so glad that we did.

There's never a moment in your life that you're not grateful for your dog. They've changed your life in more ways than one. So much to the point where living without a dog or two would be absurd. We're forever thankful for the dogs in our life and are willing to give them just the kind of love that they deserve (and that's a lot of it).

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
