13 Reasons Why Having A Dog Is Better Than Having A Boyfriend

Guys suck. And I know that's a complete overgeneralization and that it isn't true in every case, but as a whole, the population of boys is not doing well. After years of sitting back watching idly as my friends (and myself on occasion) get screwed over, I've given up. My faith in the male species is completely obliterated. But, you know what species I have never questioned a day in my life? The canine species. Which is why instead of spending my time worried about having a boyfriend, I'm going to spend my time hanging out with dogs, because there are so many reasons why they rock way more than boys:


1. They always want to chill

There's never been a time when a dog has turned down a walk or a game of fetch to hang out with their buddies.

2. You don't need to get ready for them

Even when you're dripping in sweat from the gym with no makeup on, your dog will still be excited to see you.

3. It's okay if they're all over your friends

There's nothing wrong with your dog spreading the love to all of your friends.

4. They're up for anything

It's always up to you whether you stay in or go out, and they're always down for whatever you chose.

5. You can tell them anything without the fear of it getting leaked to their friends' group text

When you need to vent, you know your dog will listen and more importantly not run to their buddies and tell them everything you just said.

6. They don't judge you when you eat a lot

Scarfing down four pieces of pizza after a rough day is nothing in the eyes of a dog.

7. They're down to cuddle

When you need a pal to watch a movie with, they're always there and ready to snuggle up next to you.

8. Dogs can't give mixed signals

They literally cannot hide their feelings, and most of the time they just want to love you.

9. You're never scared of annoying them

Because they always want to be with you.

10. They won't be mad if you'd rather hang out with your girlfriends for one night

And they'll be waiting patiently and attentively for you to get home.

11. It's impossible to be annoyed by them

You can't stay mad at your dog for more than five seconds total.

12. You always know exactly what they're thinking about

And it's usually food, fetch, or going for a walk.

13. You know they'll never get bored by you

Your mere presence makes them happier than you've probably made any boy.

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.
