Why Dogs Make The Best Companions

Recently, I have started a new chapter in my life, one that I am very excited about. Unfortunately, there is still one thing that I feel that I am missing out on. There are times when I do feel lonely and wish I had a significant other, but right now that is not really an option, so I need to fulfill my loneliness in other way. After much thought and observation, I have come to the perfect conclusion--I need a dog!!!

I never used to believe in the cliche saying "Dog is man's best friend", but as I continue to grow and create more experiences, I realized that this saying is in fact true. Everyday I walk the busy streets of New York City, which is prime time for people watching by the way, and I envy the happy couples in hopes that I will one day have that; however, the people who loo the happiest are the dog owners. Dogs over men!

Dogs are loyal and are there for you no matter what. They always know how to make you feel better when you are down. Dogs unconditionally love you! Men come and go, but dogs are loving to their owners until the end. There is no better feeling than coming home after a stressful day and seeing your dog anxiously waiting for you by the door. Yes, men don't have tails, but they'd probably be sitting on the couch anyway. Also, they are always there to pick you up when you're down. I don't know if dogs have a sixth sense, but they know when their owner is having an off day, and will do whatever they can to make it better.

It upsets me that I am not permitted to have a dog where I live, because I want that companionship that I currently can't find in a man. So for now I must try to find a different way to fulfill my loneliness (no I don't mean drinking), and can only dream about the day I have a dog of my own.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
