Why Dogs are Better Then Humans

All animals are great but dogs are the best.

Why Dogs are Better Then Humans
Danielle Farrington

A famous quote reads, " dogs are a man's best friend." This quote couldn't be more true! So here are three reasons why dogs are definitely better than humans.


1. When life gets "ruff" they are always there.

First off, you see what I did there? Secondly, in my twenty years of life, I have never met a dog that has left my side when times were tough. In fact, it's as if dogs know when life is breaking you down. They always tend to make the days better either by licking your face or cuddling up to you. Dogs just know!

2. They teach you responsibility.

Dogs are a HANDFUL. You have to feed them and water them. You have to clean up any mess they make (number one or number two.) Basically it's like taking care of a toddler 24/7. It's a challenge some days but in the end, you wouldn't change it because they are your fur babies.

3. They never hurt your feelings.

Whereas friends come and go, dogs are always there. Luckily dogs don't care what you look like or what mistakes you have made. All they care about is which ball you're going to choose for playtime or getting that amazing belly rub. If dogs can tell you're angry at them for chewing something up or what not, they really do feel bad. Dogs never hold grudges!


All in all, dogs are better than humans. The only bad things about dogs is that they don't live as long as humans so we outlive them. If you're a cat person, that's great but you can't deny that dogs are more lovable. Nothing is better then wet nose kisses! So here's to all my dogs out there, thank you for all that you animals do!

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.
