If you have multiple student loans at different interest rates, then pay off the loan with the highest interest rate first. Many people pay equal amounts to all their loans. For example, if you have loans at 2%, 3%, and 5% interest rates, paying $100 each month to all the loans will take longer and your interest rate on a 5% loan will keep on increasing. So, pay off the entire 5% loan first and then move to loans at a lower interest rate.

The best way to greet a dog is to let the dog smell you. When meeting a dog for the first time, put your hand a little forward so that the dog can smell it. Once the dog takes a sniff, and seems okay with it, go on patting the dog on the neck, chest, or tummy. Pet the dog in such a way that the dog can see your hands coming towards their body. Surprise pats and quick motions can make the dog uncomfortable so avoid sudden movement and touching.
