If You Don’t Think Dogs Are Better Than People, You Should

I’d rather talk to my dog than a person.

If You Don’t Think Dogs Are Better Than People, You Should
Brooklynn Wilkes

People might call me crazy for talking to my dog, but it’s just another normal thing in my day. Most of the time I feel like she’s actually listening more than people and it makes me feel better. Dogs actually might be better than people all around.

Sometimes I find talking to my dog a lot easier than talking to anyone else and I’m okay with that. She’s one of my biggest supporters and definitely makes me feel loved. If you don’t have a dog you can talk to I highly recommend getting one.

Every time I come home, she’s waiting for me to let her in and nothing is better than a happy tail with a side of puppy kisses. Your dog is always going to be excited to see you and instantly boosts your mood. I’ll never get over her excitement of me being home.

You take a little bit of your dog everywhere you go, dog hair literally everywhere. If you’re a dog owner you know this is true, but hey, it’s just a little reminder of your big ball of fur back at home.

Anytime you take your dog out you have loads of new friends. Okay, yes, mostly kids, but still a lot of new faces and your dog is in absolute heaven. Having a dog also gives you more access to other dogs, dog + more dogs= happiness x 2000.

I couldn’t imagine being without my dog and knowing I’m her favorite person gives me a high responsibility. To your dog, you are their world and it’s important to fill their lives with as much love as possible. If you take care of them they will take care of you. Psst, Dogs are 100% better than people.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
