10 Reasons Why I Love My Dog
Jackie Arnott

My dog, Prince, is the best cocker spaniel in the world. No, I will not be humble. My dog is my favorite. He's a good boy, he gives the best cuddles and kissies, he loves head pats and ear scratches, and he's so sweet. He loves bones and treats, and barking at trains. He also loves playing in dirt and bringing it inside the house. He likes to sleep in my bed with me and my mom's bed with her. He doesn't bother our cats (who, in return, don't bother him either), and he is always so excited when my mom or I come home. Here are other reasons why I love him:


1.) He's the best boy

He's just So Good™. He is so loving and wants to be everyone's friend. Dogs like my dog are just the best.


2.) He's very photogenic

LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT MY SON.



3.) HE SLEEPS IN A CAT BED

DON'T BELIEVE ME?



4.) He literally gets so excited when I come home from school

He barks when my car pulls up, and scratches at the door before I'm even inside. Once I am inside, he's so sweet and loving. He rubs his head against my calf and wags his tail until you can't see it anymore and he whines until I pet him. He's so excited to see me and it makes my heart explode with happiness.


5.) He Is My Son™

He is, for all intents and purposes, my son. I love him more than I could love anything. He is my best friend and the most important thing to me. If I were to loose him, I'd die. I wouldn't be able to handle it. He is my sweet son and I love him very much.


6.) He, like most other cocker spaniels, gets so excited, that he piddles.

Okay, this one is gross, but it's also kind of endearing. HEAR ME OUT, OKAY? He's just so happy and excited. I can't bring myself to be mad at him because he's just so excited, he couldn't help it. He's a good boy, okay?


7.) When you take him on car rides, he likes to move around.

He just likes to move and be a puppy. He's very wiggly and enjoys being himself.



8.) He's 12 years old, but acts like a puppy.

He's so old, but so young at heart. The veterinarian once tried to guess his age based on his teeth, and said he was four years old. My dog is, indeed, 12 years old, but he gets into the trash like he's 12 months old. He's a good boy, but also, he can do bad things. But it's okay, because he's good.


9.) If he could talk, I would never try to make a human friend again.

If he could speak to me, I would stop interacting with humans I didn't already know. He would take 100% of my attention and we would have important conversations about who the good boy really is, and why I love him so much, but won't let him have any cheese.


10.) Look at him again and tell me you honestly don't think he's a 10/10 canine



In conclusion, he's such a good boy and everyone should love him as much as I do. Thank you.

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.
