11 Reasons Why Pets Are Amazing

Pets are the best things that a human can have! Pets make life better and bring a lot of joy.

1. Pets are funny.

After a hard day at school or work, there is nothing better than your pet doing something odd to make you laugh.

2. Pets make the owner smile.

Coming home and seeing your pet just brings a smile to your face, and it is almost like they smile back at you.

3. Pets are great stress relievers.

Pets are a great way to reduce stress. You are able to pet them, hold them, and watch them be the funny animals that they are.

4. Pets miss you when you are gone.

Pets have feelings, and they miss us when we are gone. It doesn't matter if you are gone for a few hours or away at college for a few months; pets miss us. It's a great feeling to come home and see them waiting.

5. Pets are a great way to connect with people.

Pets allow us to connect with others. People love talking about their pets, and when you find someone that either wants the same pets as you or has the same pet as you, the pet becomes the center of the conversation. You never know who you will meet.

6. The pictures.

Everyone has pictures of their pets. While away at college, just taking out a picture of your pet makes the day much better.

7. The exercise.

Some pets are really active, like dogs. Their need to be outside to walk or run allows the owner to be outside for a nice walk or a great game of fetch.

8. Being able to spoil them.

Going out to the local pet store to get your pet a new toy, outfit, tank or cage can be fun! Every owner wants their pet to be comfortable and to have fun.

9. They help us realize the good in us.

Pets help us see the good in us. We get to experience joy, happiness and amazement when we are with our pet. Having a pet, we see how animals think and feel, which makes us see the innocence in life.

10. Pets are great listeners.

When you need someone to talk to pets are great listeners. They will sit and listen to you no matter what, and it seems like they are interested in what you have to say.

11. Pets demonstrate love.

Pets love us unconditionally and they trust us. They love you for the little basic things like food and belly rubs, or for the that new toy. Pets love, and they teach us how to love.

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.
