1. All dogs are super cute with literally anything they do.

Ever catch a random dog on the street doing something really cute, and you say to yourself, "Can I keep you?!" I sure have.

2. They're there for you to get you through the ruff times.

Dogs seem to know when we're having a bad day, and will do anything to make sure we are OK.

3. When you need a hug, they're always willing to be your cuddle buddy.

After one of those bad days or when you just need a hug, they're right there next to you licking your face and giving you hugs. Nothing is better than a cute, fluffy and loving dog taking up most of the couch just to cuddle with you.

4. They will sleep anywhere.

Most dogs will sleep anywhere -- the couch, bed, crate, floor, on top of you, etc. Depending on what you let them sleep on, however. Don't want the bed to get all furry!

5. Playtime with them is always fun for both of you.

Whether it's playing fetch in the backyard or going for a walk, being with them makes for a good time. They're like our best friends, just furry.

6. Sticking right by your side to keep you company, but mostly when there's food involved.

Unless you train your dog incredibly well, they're always in the kitchen wanting food. Even if you taught them not to beg, they probably secretly still hope you drop something.

7. You can tell when they're happy and that automatically makes you happy. (If it happens to be with food, so be it.)

Knowing your dog is happy from him wagging his tail a mile a minute or the smile he gives when he is loving life (like the dog holding that hot dog... wow. So happy), makes you think about how happy you are to have him.

8. They always want your attention, and if you don't give it to them how they like it, watch out.

They want your attention, so listen to them when they need to go out or want to play, because you never know when this can happen to you. Watch out. (I'm sure ,though, in reality this isn't as violent as it seems.)

9. Our own personal entertainers to get us through the day.

They have a mind of their own when it comes to new things. This Bernese Mountain dog and a lemon is pure entertainment. Nothing beats a dog that doesn't know how to act around a piece of fruit.

10. They may be dogs, but they are major copy cats.

Have you ever done something, and your dog attempts to do the same thing? It's pretty funny to watch over and over again. You may enjoy this so much and be tempted to repeat what you're doing a thousand times just to watch him copy you.

11. They know everything about you, and have no problem judging when you do something weird.

They live with you. They know things. Be careful because they're judging you hardcore. Dancing, signing and prancing around the house like a maniac? They'll probably want you to stop because you're being weird...or they're just trying to sleep.

12. Always up for some human activities like watching TV.

Dogs like doing human activities, too. Watching TV especially. Who can't enjoy some time spent with your dog watching both of your favorite shows. I'm sure you guys can agree on something. If not, maybe it's best to give him the remote.

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.

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.
