10 Reasons Being Around Dogs Makes Your Life Better

So every college student knows the highlight of your day. The day that you see a dog (unless you are just some crazy person who DOES NOT enjoy the happiness a dog brings). It is an absolute proven fact that they automatically bring so much more joy into your life and make everything in life so much better. The combination of those furry, happy faces with their tales wagging at uncontrollable paces makes any college student's day. You never truly realize how much you miss the little things, like having a dog around. They truly make a big difference in your day-to-day joyfulness!

Who knew that a cute wagging of the tail could so quickly turn a frown, around?

So here are some tips for seeing more of your furry friends!

1. First of all, To those who own dogs: I apologize for all those who do not have dogs in our current situations. We think that your dogs are absolutely adorable. It is our absolute joy and pleasure to come and see them! But sorry for your slight delay. So for all of us dog loving people, be okay with approaching those dogs! People really do not care and their dogs absolutely love all the attention!

2. We all know that seeing dogs playing in the Fountain and running in the field in front of Moody library makes our weeks extremely bright, so take the time, get a to go box and go watch some dogs.

3. Take the time to see the dogs, it makes the weeks so much better. Do not talk yourselves out of it saying I do not have the time. Those precious few moments that you have with that dog, makes life quite a bit brighter, helps us think a little bit clearer, and makes that memory stick with us for the week - bringing up a more positive note.

4. Non-dog current people, we should take some advice from those who have dogs and stop all the time to put up with our dog loving obsession, we need to carry on the tradition of letting the poor dog-less people pet our dogs. So that we too can make someone's day brighter.

5. And the most important thing that I have learned so far about seeing some precious pretty cute dogs is Animal Shelters. You may ask, why would I got there? Because they truly have the cutest dogs and all they want you to truly do is play with them! And the best part about going and seeing these precious pups, is that it relieves stress - so do not make "no" your excuse to stop going to see those precious pets, it will most likely HELP you get your work done and it helps them and YOU!

So all that to say, go say hi to that precious pup or go see those dogs at the shelter, it can make quite a difference.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
