9 Reasons I Love Dogs More Than People

People can hurt you, use you, ignore you, leave you, and a million other things that tear your heart up inside, but dogs will never do anything to hurt you in any way. Dogs just want our love and attention, and honestly, they're so easy to entertain and love. They just look up at you like you're the greatest thing in the world, because to them, you are! So here are a few reasons why I prefer my dog babies over actual human beings:

1. They never judge you.

Whenever I am being weird, stuffing my face with food, walking around the house without pants on, or just looking rough as hell, my dog never judges me. In fact, most of the time, my dog is right beside me just letting me do my thing.She even encourages me to stuff my face, because she knows I can't avoid her puppy dog stare, so when I eat, she gets a little something too.

2. They are great listeners

People get tired of listening to you rant about the same things over and over again, but dogs don't! They just sit there and listen to you rant on and on, and they'll tilt their head to the side as if saying “No way! She did that?” Or their ears will stand up or flop over like “And then what happened?” But no matter what, they are there for you when you need someone to talk to.

3. They know when you're upset

It's almost as if they have some sort of sad monitor inside of them, and whenever you're down, it goes off and they're right beside you giving you cuddles and kisses and just trying to make you feel better. They always know how to make you feel better, whereas with people, they sometimes just don't want to deal with you when you're upset.

4. They are always ready to party

Dogs are so easily hyped up! You get up and start dancing and call them over and they're right there with you trying to have just as much fun as you are! Just talking to them in a higher voice than usual gets them excited.

5. They will never leave you

Dogs are so loyal and you never have to worry about them getting tired of you and leaving because it'll never happen. You are their home, and they don't want to leave you.

6. They miss you when you leave

They get upset when we leave them, even if it's just for an hour. But when we come back, it's like we've been gone for days with the excited reaction they give us!

7. They will never hurt you

Dogs will never hurt us. They are incapable of hurting us because when we hurt, they hurt.

8. They don't mind your endless selfies

At least I don't think they do! They might get annoyed, but they'll still pose or lick your face or smile for the camera when you're wanting more pics.

9. They will always love you

Dogs' love for us is the purest form of love you will ever receive in your life. They may not be our forever, but we are their forever. They love us so unconditionally and so much. It's no wonder they earned the nickname as “Man’s (and Woman’s) best friend.” Because everything they do for or with us is always out of love for us.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
