16 Reasons Why Dogs Are Actually The Worst
Samantha May

As being a parent or sibling to the fluffy little/big animal that is your family, I think we can all agree why dogs are the worst and heres why.

1. They're the first thing you wake up to.

As you're waking up to your alarm blaring first thing in the morning, a few things can occur as you're starting your day.

1.) You cannot move due to the weight of your bed buddy by your feet or between your legs.

2.) The'yre directly by your side and refuse to let you turn over to get out of the bed.

3.) They're the actual reason you're awake either due to needing breakfast at some ridiculous hour, to go outside OR because they did not make it outside and left a present for you on the living room floor.

2. You can't do laundry.

As you're about to throw your clothes into the wash, you look to find that they're crawled up and made them selves comfortable in the basket.

3. They're always in your business.

As you're creeping on people from high school on Facebook, they're always there to see what you're doing.

4. You can't (attempt) to exercise.

You feel motivated enough to try to do something to improve yourself, maybe some cardio or yoga, but they're always there judging you.

5. They're backseat drivers.


when you're minding your own business, but they keep 'barking' (awful pun intended) directions and your driving skills.

6. Then when you don't listen, they give you dirty looks.

7. They're constantly complaining about something.

pictured here, he is throwing a fit because he thinks he's not getting enough attention.

8. Packing is extra difficult.

If leaving for school/trip isn't difficult enough as it is, they tend to take up more space attempting to come with you.

9.Your parent(s) treat them more like their own children than you.

no really...

11. They like to get into your things.

You can't even go out to the pool without them stealing your sunglasses and the last raft.

12. They think they're funny.

...you're not fooling anyone, we all know thats a wig.

13. They hog the bed.

I'm glad you guys like the bed, but now there's no room for me.

14. They constantly want to play with you.

as much as I would like to bud, I'm busy writing an article.

15. You can't eat in peace.

Even after you're done with you're meal, they still just stare at you, hoping for your plate.

16. They're so cute, you can't say no.


All sarcasm aside, without all of these little (big) guys in my life, it wouldn't be complete. I hope you can relate to all the things my dogs do, because if you're a dog lover like me, I'm sure you can.

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.
