You are their person.

5 Reasons Why Your Dog Should Be Your Best Friend
Caroline Courson

1. They love you unconditionally.


Unlike people, your pup will love you no matter what. Their sense of loyalty is so strong that there isn't anything you could do to make your dog love you less. While humans are always trying to find the next best person, your dog will always see you as the best possible person for them. You are their whole world.

2. With them, you'll never be alone.


Your dog can't stand to be without you, not even for five seconds. They'll follow you to the kitchen, to the mailbox and even to the bathroom. I can't even take a shower without my dog peaking through the shower curtain to make sure I'm still there. It can be a tad annoying at times, but it's mostly endearing.

3. You'll always have a cuddle buddy.


Your dog will always be down to snuggle up next to you and watch a movie. They love the attention and affection, so cuddling is always a viable option. They enjoy your company so much so that sometimes, they won't just sit next to you, they'll sit on you.

4. They motivate you to exercise.

Your dog needs to run around and get some exercise just as much as you do, so why not exercise together? Whether it be a run around the neighborhood or a long hike up a mountain, your dog will always be there to accompany you. They tend to have more endurance and speed than you do, so having your pup with you while exercising will push yourself to be better, faster and stronger.

5. They greet you like they haven't seen you in years every time they see you.

No matter how crappy your day may have been, you can always count on a warm welcome from your pup to cheer you up. As soon as they see you, they attack you with puppy kisses and love. You can see in their eyes how much they missed you and how happy they are to have you home.

To them, you are their whole entire world. No one on this earth can compare to you in their eyes. The love they have for you is so pure and endless that it's hard to believe something can love you that much. They give you every ounce of love that they have, and that's why puppy love is the best love.

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?
