5 Reasons Why You Should Get A Cat
Taylor Clarich

I have wanted a cat for as long as I can remember. My parents finally decided to surprise me with one, and ever since then, my life has changed for the better. My cat, Ophelia, has made me happier than I ever thought I could be. If you are thinking about getting a cat, you should just do it. Here are some of the reasons why.


1.They use a litter box.

In the life of a cat, there are rarely any bathroom accidents. They use a litter box, and all you have to do is make sure that it’s clean. Of course, nobody wants to clean out a stinky litter box, but it’s way better than being woken up at odd hours of the night, by your pet, to take them outside to use the bathroom.

2.They are the best cuddle buddies.

There is nothing better than sitting on the couch and having your cat curl up on your lap for some cuddle time. If you’re feeling lonely, or upset, your cat will always be there to cheer you up with some warm snuggles.

3.They are the best alarm clocks.

Have you ever had one of those Saturday mornings when all you want to do is sleep in, even though you have a never-ending list of things you have to do? Well you won’t have to worry about that once you get a cat. Think of your new furry creature as your personal alarm clock. Whether they are hungry, or if they just want to play, they will wake you up and you will not be able to fall back to sleep. You will be able to get all of your stuff done after all!

4.Their independence will allow you to have a life.

I have three words for you. They. Clean. Themselves. What’s better than a pet you don’t have to worry about constantly smelling all the time? Also, you can spend the whole day out without having to worry about your cat. I mean, of course your cat will be constantly on your mind because the love is so strong, but as long as they have enough food and water, they will be fine if you decide to take the day to be with your friends.

5.They are so cute.

Their long tails, their whiskers, and their perfect little paws will make your heart melt every time you look at them. They are just the most majestic little creatures. You will instantly be in a better mood, and become so happy when you come home and see their cute little faces.


There is an infinite list of why cats are so amazing. They make you feel a constant love that will never go away, and that can never be replaced. If you’re thinking about getting a cat, just do it. You will never regret it.

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.
