21 Things To Thank Your Dog For

Sometimes we forget to show them how much they mean to us.

Our pets bring us joy, laughter and happiness. One of the most loyal pets a person can have is a dog. (Wo)man's best friend never disappoints us or lets us down. Dogs provide us with unconditional love. There are many things that these creatures do to show they care that might go unnoticed. When we do see what they do, we realize how lucky we are to have them.

1. Keeping our beds warm.

It's nice crawling into sheets that aren't cold.

2. Finishing the last bite when we're too full.

Someone's gotta do it.

3. Always getting excited to see us.

The pure, unadulterated joy.

4. Taking charge when we leave the house.

Who else is gonna make sure no one breaks in?

5. Knowing when something's wrong.

They can sense when we're upset.

6. Never judging us.

We don't think they're weird for smelling butts; they don't think we're weird for not wearing pants sometimes.

7. Making Halloween so much more fun.

If only human costumes were this great.

8. Giving us something to brag about.

Oh your dog sits on command? My dog has his own Facebook page.

9. Allowing us to use them as an excuse.

You want me to come over later? Sorry, I can't. My dog's waiting for me.

10. Being a great listener.

They never interrupt.

11. Forgiving us.

I'm sorry that I've been away at college for three months, I hope you still love me. [Infinite doge kisses.]

12. Taking up half of our camera roll.

Half of my storage is used on pictures of my dogs.

13. Helping us.

They're always there to lend a paw when we need them.

14. Making us laugh.

Dogs are kinda weird, if you think about it.

15. When they're the best travel companion.

Nothing better than an adventure with your best friend.

16. Their protection.

They stand guard even when we don't realize it.

17. They remind us to enjoy the little things.

Their innocence and curiosity never ceases to amaze us.

18. And that sometimes it's OK to take the easy way.

We all deserve a break.

19. Inspiring us.

We can overcome anything that we set our minds to.

20. Giving us a reason to smile.

Dogs are goofy.

21. Providing us with a lifelong best friend.

We'll always have each other.

Let's remember to thank them for all that they do for us.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Fibonacci Sequence Examples: 7 Beautiful Instances In Nature

Nature is beautiful (and so is math). The last one will blow your mind.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
