12 Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than Humans
Ryan Hickey

Dogs really are a man's best friend. Having a pet can teach us all so many valuable lessons. Dogs are selfless and are always up for an adventure. There is no better feeling than snuggling up with a puppy. They cherish every moment with their owners even when they don't get an extra treat. Dogs are here to remind us to enjoy everyday because tomorrow is never promised. In the end worrying doesn't help anything. We should all try to be happy, to love, be loyal, and maybe even eat some grass.

1. They still kiss you good morning even with your stinky morning breath.

Let's be honest, we do not even want to smell our own breath in the morning. Your dog loves you so much they will risk toxic fumes to make sure you wake up feeling loved.

2. They don’t get mad when you leave the toilet seat up.


There will be no nagging like your girlfriend, sister, mom, aunt, or wife. A gigantic ceramic water bowl is doggie heaven.

3. They're always up to try your terrible food creations.

When no one else can stand to take a bite of your failed vegan no cheese, no cream fettuccine Alfredo, your dog will gladly finish it up. They might even beg for seconds!

4. This gym partner will never say no to a run.

Humans can be lazy and unmotivated. Your dog will always be willing to get in a quick jog or even go for a walk in the rain. Dogs are the best unpaid personal trainers ever.

5. They will always be happy to see you.

Dogs will never comment on how tired you look or lack of makeup. No matter your state, they will greet you as if you haven't seen them in years whether you have or not! It never gets old.

6. Puppies are cuter than babies.

I know some moms out there will fight this, but we all know it is the truth. Puppy dog eyes and a little butt wiggle can beat a drooling baby. Even babies know it!

7. Nothing compares to a good old dog hug.

Do not get me wrong, a human bear hug can be great but most of the time they are awkward. A dog will never give you the side uncomfortable hug.

8. They never mean to hurt your feelings.

Humans can be really mean and most of the time it is intentional. Dogs are not perfect, but when they leave muddy paw prints around the house, it's not for revenge.

9. They are Fluffy.

This point is pretty self-explanatory, but I have never seen a fluffy human. Is there anything better than snuggling a ball of fluff?

10. They will never judge you.

If you end up in bed eating a pint of ice cream and watching "The Notebook," they will be happy to join. They will be glad to catch any drops as you shovel the ice cream into your mouth. In addition, no comments about wasting your Friday night in.

11. You can tell them your darkest secrets and they will never say a word.

Humans are pretty untrustworthy but a dog will keep your secret forever. This also has a lot to do with the fact that they cannot speak. Or can they...

12. They will love you unconditionally forever.

Your dog relies on you every minute of every day. They will be eternally grateful for the amazing life you provide. Dogs are one of the purest creatures on earth, they are a gift. Take advantage and go experience pure unconditional 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.
