1. They have unconditional love for you.

They didn't get the nickname "man's best friend" for no reason. A dog will love you endlessly with no strings attached. You pet them, they love you, it's easy.

2. They will never get bored of your company.

The most exciting part of my day is walking through the door when I get home and seeing my two dogs. It seems as if they have been waiting all day for me to come home. How sweet is that? I made their day just by walking through the door. How many people can you say love you like your dog does?

3. They are simple.

Eat. Sleep. Play. Those are the only things that go through their mind. They don't stress over the small stuff like humans do. They don't worry if their hair looks good or what color to paint their nails. They only worry about the important stuff.

4. They understand you.

No matter what your dilemma is a dog can make you feel better. Finals week, headache, maybe just a little sad, find a puppy and I guarantee it will improve your well being.

5. They are always happy.

There is no such thing as mood swings when it comes to dogs. There is only one mood for dogs and it is happy. Their constant positivity and energy is contagious. You might be in a bad mood but a dog can make up for it with just one look.

6. They listen to your problems with no complaints.

Dogs love to hear people rant. Yeah, they have no idea what you are saying but yet they understand you. Whatever that person did to ruin your day your dog understands and they support you 100%. Plus you are free to rant to a dog and there is no possible way they are going interrupt you.

7. There is no judgment and they are completely loyal to you.

They will never tell you that you did something wrong because in their eyes you're perfect. People play such a big role in dog's lives. Dogs see their owners as family and they rely on us.

8. They are always up for a run/walk.

Who needs a workout partner when you have a dog? A dog is always up for a walk/run. Any type of activity with their owner, they are all in. With dogs its so much easier because there's no coordinating, you just grab the leash and go.

9. They don't hold a grudge.

Maybe you might have done something to upset your pup but no worries. Just give it a few minutes and you two are back to normal. There's no awkward conversations and apologies it just goes right back to where you were. This is because no one gets you quite like your dog.

10. They appreciate the small things.

Like I said earlier "dogs are simple". They don't need parties or celebrations. They just want a treat or maybe an ice cube every once in a while. Showing love to you dog is so much easier than to a human. All you have to do is scratch behind their ear and throw a tennis ball.

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.
