12 Reasons Every College Student Needs A Dog

In This Article:

Dogs are man's best friend for a reason. They're loyal, loving, playful and an endless source of happiness. With the amount of crazy college has packed into every day, here are some reasons I believe every college student needs a dog in their life.

1. They greet you at the door.

Because there's nothing than better than opening your door and your dog jumping all over you because they're so excited you're home.

2. They're always happy.

How can you not be happy after seeing this face?

3. They give you an excuse to be active.

Every college student knows how challenging it is to convince yourself to go work out, but if you have to go walk your dog every day you'll be getting your work out in and making sure your dog doesn't turn your living room into the bathroom.

4. They'll never judge you.

They don't care if you haven't showered in two days or if you're on your fourth glass of wine. They'll still love you just the same.

5. They're always down for a nap.

6. They actually think you're cool and they genuinely want to hang out with you.

Why would you choose to hang out with anyone else when your dog already thinks you're the coolest person alive?

7. If you don't feel like moving from the couch, they'll lay there with you all day.

They like cuddling just as much as you. So turn on your latest Netflix show and get ready for a relaxing day with your best friend.

8. They'll comfort you.

Whether you just failed a test or you're fighting with a friend, your pup will be there to comfort you through it all.

9. They'll make you laugh.

He just wants to go swimming!

10. They'll make you very popular with your friends.

I mean, they may start choosing to hang out with you just because of the dog, but at least they're hanging out with you.

11. They'll always be your best friend.

And the only person you'd share your hot dog with.

12. They love you unconditionally.

No matter what, your dog will always love you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
