5 Reasons Why Dogs Are A Better Valentine
Animal Fair

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd write about something that makes single people like myself, wonder what the big deal about it is. In all honesty, there really is no big deal about Valentine's Day EVEN if you're in a relationship. But I was thinking, the only thing that never runs away from me or loves me endlessly is my dog...so why not always have my dog as my Valentine? So here are five reasons why dogs are a better Valentine:

1. Constant Cuddles

No matter the size, I always find puppies wanting to cuddle whenever you want to. They will snuggle up to you as you watch TV. Even if you're not always wanting to cuddle they'll just lay next to you, always there just silently giving you all the love.

2. Love You Even After Mistakes

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU MESS UP IN LIFE DOGS WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. Even if you failed an exam, you got a speeding ticket, or if you're the worst person in the world. Puppies will always snuggle you and love you no matter what.

3. Netflix Buddy

The best part about this is your puppy won't even judge what you decide to watch, even if it's the weirdest movie ever. OR even the weirdest TV show, they'll always snuggle up to you as you watch your favorite or guiltiest pleasure of a show on TV.

4. Nap Buddy

After a long day or week of classes or work, sometimes snuggling up to your puppy and taking a long nap is the best. They never seem to mind taking a little snooze throughout the day with you.

5. They Never Leave You

They're your best friend and you guy's do everything together. They make being single easier because you know you'll always have a companion to love and snuggle and watch Netflix with.


Sometimes dogs are better than humans, but either way! Have a good Valentine's Day and snuggle up to your puppy!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
