10 Things To Thank Your Dog For
Brooke Tousley

Whoever said dogs are a “man’s best friend” is not kidding. No matter what, dogs are always there for us and we do not deserve these beautiful creatures. Thank you, dogs, for being a great friend to us. 2016 may have been ruff, but having you there lessened the blow. Here’s to dogs everywhere, we love you and we are thankful for you to be here for another year.

1. Thank you for always greeting me with much excitement at the front door

It's the little things that you do that make everything so worth it.

2. Thank you for being silly

You keep me young. I am thankful for that.

3. Thank you for always wanting to cuddle.

This may only be my dog, but I feel like we don't deserve these creatures for gracing us with their greatness.

4. Thank you for being the star of the family

The family might be a disappointment, but your dog will never be.

5. Thank you for eating all my leftovers

You da real one, Taz.

6. Thank you for being my rock

I work hard for my degree to make sure my dog children and future dog children will have a good and plentiful life.

7. Thank you for putting up with all the photos.

My dog in particular is photogenic, I just can't help myself. Look at my little model.

8. And the costumes.

Not all heros wear capes.

9. Thank you for listening to me ramble, rant and complain about boys, life, school, and more boys.

It's the little things you do.

10. Thank you for being my best friend.

I don't know what I would do without you.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
