We all know the basic short-haired breeds: the Labrador, the Boxer, the German Shepherd, the Golden Retriever, etc. But do you know the stranger breeds, the ones with wild fur and strange statures? Here's a list of some of the wildest looks in the dog world.


1. Bearded Collie

This boy is Scottish as hell, and certainly looks it. He's a great family pet, and his long fur probably looks super majestic flowing in the breeze.


2. Bergamasco Shepherd

A boy bred to herd, he sure looks great with his dreadlock-esque fur. He's a very patient and determined boy, and is sure to work hard to make sure you're proud of him.


3. Afghan Hound

Now this boy is majestic. One of his personality traits is "aloof," which seems pretty perfect, since he's got that good hair and already knows he looks fabulous.


4. Basset Hound

Even though this boy looks kinda sad, he's not! He's actually very loving and gentle, and is great with kids. He's just a droopy fella.


5. Bedlington Terrier

Here's the boy that inspired this whole list. I just don't even know what his hair situation is tbh. Apparently he looks like a lamb, but I think he looks more like a hammerhead. Still a great boy though!


6. Kerry Blue Terrier

This boy is often just called a Kerry, which I think is adorable. He was originally used for hunting vermin, but is just a general working dog now. He's also got some sweet facial hair.



7. Scottish Terrier

These very good boys remind me of small old men. They're just so shaggy and tiny and adorable.They're also feisty!


8. Skye Terrier

These hairy boys are an endangered breed in the UK, which is incredibly upsetting. They're fearless though, which may just be because they can't see what they're supposed to be afraid of.


9. Sealyham Terrier

Here's another boy rockin' some facial hair. He's a friendly working dog, and will love you as long as you help him groom his 'stache.


10. Affenpinscher

This little boy is also called "monkey face!" He does have the face for it. He's very playful and would love to romp around your house.


11. Bichon Frise

This is a feisty fluffball boy. He's very prominently featured on dog food cans and in commercials, because he's so adorable. He'd also love to romp around, I'm sure.


12. Coton de Tulear

Another very fluffy boy here. He's also hypoallergenic and very vocal! He's highly trainable too, and would probably learn how to dance just for you.


13. Chinese Crested Dog

So this boy is also hypoallergenic, but he's more self-explanatory. This dog just looks unfortunate, really. He's supposed to have a lion mane, but ehhhhh...


14. Lowchen

This little fella is called the "Little Lion Dog." I guess he has a bit more of a mane than hairless up there, but he also doesn't have leg hair for some odd reason. Maybe he'd like some pants.


15. Maltese

This lovely little boy has so much luxurious hair that he needs tiny clips to keep it out of his eyes. He also has some fantastic facial hair, and would definitely appreciate it if you groomed him all the time.


16. Pekingese

So these little guys are just tiny balls of fur. They're also called "Lion Dogs," but man are they squishy-looking. I bet they would look really great running through a field.


17. Lhasa Apso

This little fella was originally bred as an alert dog for ancient monks, which is super cool. Nowadays they're just very hard to take proper care of, due to their overwhelmingly flowing hair.


18. Shar Pei

This boy is just wrinkles in dog form. They're really lovely boys, but unfortunately have a lot of health problems due to their wrinkles. They really are just huge teddy bears though.


19. Poodle

These boys are probably the most stylish, with their easily shaved fur. They are fantastically intelligent as well, and are one of the most underrated mainstream dog breeds, in my opinion. I just love them a lot, okay?


And there you have some of the most fashionable and least fashionable of the canine kingdom. If you check out my list from last week, you can see some more wonderful breeds!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
