Dogs, who needs them?

10 Things I Hate About Dogs
Shawn Tan

They've got nothing to give but love and support. But who wants that anyway? Here is a short list of reasons why Dogs are not as great as you think.

1. I hate their cute face.

Way to go, dog. Now I can't look at anything else because nothing is nearly as distracting as your adorable furry face.

2. I hate that they like to cuddle.

Nevermind the warmth and love that comes out of cuddling. Who doesn't like to feel cold on the outside and the inside? I'll keep my ice cold heart too, thank you very much.


3. I hate how comforting they are.

Their presence gives you the feeling of safety and comfort. Clearly even Vladimir Putin hates the comfort he receives from this canine.


4. I hate when they greet you at the door.

They jump and they wag their tail because they're happy to see you after a long day. So annoying.

5. I hate that they want to be with you all the time.

They trail after you no matter where you go, even when they can't always get there. Stop following me around, dog. You know I don't like being admired and loved.

6. I hate that they're patient with you.

Who likes patience any way? I know a lot of people who wouldn't be mad if I forced them to dress up in my little brother's old baby clothes.

7. I hate having a right hand man.

Dogs help you with your chores? No thanks. Dogs help you with cooking? No thanks. Who needs a little help every now and then? Definitely not me.

8. I hate when they're there for you when you're down.

It's so annoying when dogs are there to console you on your bad days. Leave me alone, dog. Let me lay in bed and wallow in self-pity.

9. I hate how protective they are.

They guard you, they do whatever they can to keep you safe from harm's way, even if that means risking their lives and their own safety. Darn!

10. I hate when they love you unconditionally.

Nevermind the movie "Hatchi." Nevermind dogs who cry and mourn for their owners at their grave for days at a time. Their whole life revolves around you -- they live their life doing everything they can to make you happy. It's the worst!!

All laughs and jokes aside, I truly am convinced that dogs are God's gift from Heaven. My dog has taught me about patience, loyalty, and love so much more than I would ever expect. He gives me a sense of belonging, warmth, and security. I love my dog not just because he's my best friend, but also because he is the best gift I have ever had. My dog thinks the world of me, he looks up to me like I'm the greatest person in the world; and honestly, I could only ever hope that one day, I can be half the person he thinks that I am.

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.
