8 Of My Top Favorite Dog Breeds

Because anything is better than more political jargon.

Since everything that is on the internet right now is somehow related to the results of the election, here's something that's definitely not. No one asked for this. No one really wanted this. But this article does not talk about politics, so everyone needs and should enjoy this. Without further ado, here are my top eight favorite dog breeds and why.

8. Chihuahua

Chihuahuas are pretty hit and miss when it comes to cuteness. No matter what they look like, they all have a very piercing, yippy bark that is pretty annoying, but sometimes their faces can make up for it. Honestly, the main reason chihuahuas are consistently on my list of favorite dogs is because of the famous YouTuber Jenna Marbles's first dog, Mr. Marbles.

7. Japanese Chin

I was not introduced to the charm of Japanese Chins until this past summer when I visited my sister. The Chin in the picture belongs to my sister's friend, and she is utterly ridiculous in an adorable way. A common and hilarious trait Chins have is they will use their front paws to wash and wipe their face, very much like a cat. I'm also a huge fan of how their eyes look in completely different directions.

6. Dachshund

I'll be honest, the main source of my love for dachshunds is from a Nintendo DS Nintendogs game I used to play. My very first dog in that game was a dachshund named Lucky, and she was amazing at catching a frisbee. Together, Lucky and I held the champion spot in the world frisbee competition for months. Also, their short legs are funny.

5. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

In my opinion, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are one of the most beautiful dogs out there. They really nail the puppy-dog eyes, even after growing up. There are a few variations of fur colors, but the brown and white ones are my favorite, probably because I had one in a different Nintendogs game.

4. Bichon Frise

The Bichon Frise is a bit confusing. They start out as these adorable little white puppies that look like teddy bears, then they grow up and suddenly have massive halos of white fluff around their faces. You can choose to trim it, but I think it's funnier to leave them as cotton balls with noses.

3. Pomeranian

My grandma used to have a pomeranian mix, and it was the first dog I ever truly loved. I used to wake up before everyone else in the house, go find her dog, and sit and pet it for hours until the rest of my family woke up. Downsides: hair maintenance. Upsides: they are balls of fluff that will love you.

2. Pug

Pugs are one of those breeds that most people think are ugly and thus completely ignore them whatsoever. However, I think that they are adorable because they are ugly. Just imagine; you've had a "ruff" day (sorry, couldn't help it) and you come home to see this face. You hear it snuffling at an unimaginable decibel and you see its eyes looking in different directions, and you can't help but think to yourself, "If this pathetic creature is happy, why shouldn't I be happy?" Day instantly better.

1. Corgi

Where to begin? Corgis are a blessing to this earth. They have super short legs that make them waddle, which is hilarious, plus their butts float! Like the pug, the corgi is absolutely ridiculous. They are easily the most adorable and I want one.

This is in actuality a master list of the best dogs. It's not opinion, it is one hundred percent cold, hard, fact and everyone needs to modify their own opinions accordingly. I propose that in light of the political frenzy, we should redo the election and have everyone write in one of Queen Elizabeth's corgis for our president. In case that's not entirely realistic, I suggest everyone go out and adopt a dog (any dog, it doesn't have to be from this highly sophisticated list of facts and evidence) from a shelter and be their forever friend.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
