12 Reasons Why Humanity Should Be So Grateful For Dogs

What did we ever do to deserve dogs? If you're like me, your voice goes to some ungodly high pitch and you make up words that come out of nowhere when you pet a dog. And no matter how much you try to contain it, it's nearly impossible when you see a dog in public. Lately, there has been a debate about whether or not dogs are better than cats. Rest assured that dogs are the better companion.

1. Puppies!

How can you not like puppies? The puppy breath, the flimsy limbs, the big tummies, the hyper play time, and the cute cuddles. I would die if I had the chance to play with these two for an hour.

2. Dogs in Clothes


This is everything. Did you see how chill the dog looked after being dressed? Like yeah, I know, I'm a bada**. Also, puppies in onesies are the cutest things ever.

3. The Cuddles

I love when dogs get all lovey dovey and cuddly. It's probably my favorite thing to go home, sit on the couch, and have my big dog think he's a lap dog.

4. They are hilarious

Dogs are funnier than most humans I know. Like, for instance, how they go from 0 to 100, from sleeping in their bed to sprinting around the house for no reason.

5. Nothing but personality

I've never met any dog that was similar to another, personality-wise. The character of a dog is everything.

6. They are a personal vacuum

Once I moved away for college, I missed being able to drop food and have my dogs come running to me within seconds. I have now invested in a broom, but I'm sure having a personal puppy is so much better.

7. Loyalty

These little adorable guys are always there for you, helping you do the most random things at the most random times. This is love.

8. The Head Tilt


The cuteness overload is so much. I can't deal with how adorable head tilts are. Once you find what tilts your dog's head, you will not stop. It's the sweetest thing.

9. They are not only dogs but fish as well


Dogs that swim are probably the cutest thing. Look at this cute little guy. Part cuteness, part dog, part fish.

10. Great with Children


Instead of hiring a nanny for your future children, have your dog watch your kids. They can do it all! If your kids are big enough, you also have a free mini horse as well.

11. Their guilty faces


Denver the Lab is known to make the best guilty faces. However, dogs make the most adorable guilty faces, that make you feel bad, want to apologize, and give them hugs and kisses and treats and just cuddle.

12. The kisses

They are so presh. Dog kisses (especially puppy kisses) are the best thing known to mankind. If that's not love, I'm not sure what is.

So, to end this debate, dogs in fact are the superior companion animal. They're just big, fat, furry balls of love and personality. They aren't just animals, they're friends, family, and a personal alarm clock. They hold much more of a meaning than just an animal in your home. Have you ever come home from a regular day and had your dog hyper and excited to see you? They are so excited to see that their human has come back to give them love and attention. Their world just came back from hours of absence. You're their world, and the least we can do is make them a part of ours.

If you are ever interested in dog or a puppy always look at adopting at your local humane society first. I'm pawsitivley sure you will fall in love.

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.

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.
