10 Reasons Why I Love Dogs

Everyone has a special animal that they hold dear to their heart. For some it might be a cat, or a horse, but for others it's a dog. No matter what animal is your favorite, we can all agree that animals are the perfect companions. For me and my fellow dog lovers, these furry little cuties are all we have eyes for. From their excitement when seeing us to their stedfast loyalty, a dog is the only companion I'll ever truly need. On my best days, the worst, and each day in between, dogs have never failed to make my day even better than the moment before. I don't know what I would do without these adorable friends, and luckily, I never will need to find out.

1. They always want to cuddle.

Want to take a nap? Need a moment of comfort? No matter the reason, dogs are the perfect cuddle-buddy. They will keep you warm and always make you feel safe during your cuddle session.

2. Without fail, they are always the first to comfort you.

Dogs seem to always be the first ones to notice when you are having a bad day. With the right cute face and licking of the hand, they are continuously able to make you feel better.

3. No one is more excited to see you when you come home.

Whether it be when you just wake up, or when you come home for the night, dogs are the first to greet you and are overjoyed to see you. They seem to have a knack for making you feel special and loved.

4. They are the most reliable protectors.

There is no one that I trust more than a protective dog. They always have your back and will never let you down. The safest place to be is behind a loyal, protective dog.

5. Since they need to be walked daily, they keep you in shape.

If you are anything like me, exercise tends to be the last thing on your to do list. I usually don't get around to it. Having a dog forces me to get off my lazy butt and take a walk.

6. They will never judge or criticize you.

As the loving creatures they are, dogs will never judge us for our mistakes.

7. You always know to not trust someone your dog doesn't like.

Just because people aren't the best judges of character sometimes doesn't mean that dogs are the same way. If your dog does not like someone, always trust them because a dog's instincts are never wrong.

8. Once you see their puppy dog face, you can't be mad at them anymore.

As much as we love these furry friends, they can be little trouble makers at times. Once they pull out their adorable puppy dog face, we are all doomed. There is no mess they can make that we won't forgive because they are just so cute.

9. You'll never be lonely with a cute dog around.

They never allow you to feel lonely. Between wanting to play, cuddle, and just wanting to be around us, dogs always make us feel loved and happy.

10. They truly are a person's best friend.

There is no one that I love more than my dog. Dogs are loyal to the bone and will always do anything to make us happy. My dog Roxy is my best friend, and I hope everyone else has a friend like a dog to love as well.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
