Why My Pets Are My Best Friends

Pets are always there for you when you need them. You are a hero in their eyes.

Why My Pets Are My Best Friends
Emili Younkin

I currently have three dogs and two cats. I also have two fish but I won't include them in my ode to the animals.

This might be crazy of me to say, but every animal definitely has their own unique personality. First, there is Izzy. She is a black cocker spaniel and she loves attention. However, the puppy we have named Luna is a very jealous girl and does not like Izzy to get any attention. We have our boy dog Buddy and he is the most hyper animal in the world! He runs around as fast as possible to the point he nearly falls on his face. The two cats we have are Mischief Marie and Delia. These girls are polar opposites. Mischief is as friendly as can be and Delia is not very social. So yes, I think animals are all different personality wise.

So why are my pets my best friends? Well because they are always there. When I am having a bad day, I can count on more than one of them to give me a friendly greeting and cheer me right up. They can sense when your day has not been as great as usual. They will come over with a furry hug and kiss and let you know that they are there for you. They never ask for anything in return. You should just give them your love back in return. Taking care of them and letting them know you will never leave them is all they need. They won't ask for favors or expect anything from you. They will not go and tell your secrets. As weird as it seems, pets are the best to vent to. You can tell them anything and everything. They won't spill the beans! Pets look up to you. In their eyes you are their idol and hero. They want to always be around you because they love you. You are everything to them.

Like human best friends, they make you mad sometimes though. They may on occasion use the bathroom on the floor or rip up one of your favorite pairs of shoes, but that's alright. That doesn't change anything between you guys. You'll forgive and forget. Pets are easy to forgive too because they are so cute!

Pets are great travel buddies! Especially dogs. You can take them, if permitted, to your favorite spot and have fun with them. Here you can spend more bonding times with your bestie. Make memories that will last a lifetime. Oh, and don't forget to take a selfie!

Your pets might not always be there because sadly their lifespan is not as long as that of humans. However, those experiences will always live in your mind so the memory of your pets will always be there. No matter what you can always trust that your pets will be there for you. They can trust you will always be there for them too.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
