Five Reasons Why Your Dog Is Your BFF

While we all have human best friends, we often forget about our furry friends. Dogs just have qualities that some humans do not possess, making them our actual BFF's. Here's just a few reasons why your dog is actually your best friend.

1. You can bring them with you anywhere and they can not say "no."

Whether you want to go swimming at the lake, go on a run, or to go get ice cream, your dog is always down for a car ride across town. People will be quick to judge when you show up to Dairy Queen by yourself, but when you have a dog with you, you are automatically the hit of the ice cream shoppe. And who makes better running buddy than your adorable pet dog? No one. That's who.

2. They keep secrets.

Let's face it, your dog has seen you do a lot of weird things around the house and doesn't judge you for it. When you are home alone and dancing in your underwear or eating a tub of ice cream by yourself, your dog never spills your deep, dark secrets (mostly because they can't even talk, but still).

3. Your dog is your best wing man.

I am pretty sure it is scientifically proven that if you bring your dog in public, there's a good chance either gender will stop to pet your dog and ask you questions. Dogs are the new Tinder. I can honestly say I stop and pet every single dog I see in public. I do not discriminate, whether the dog is a big, scruffy Yellow Labrador Retriever or a small, yappy Chihuahua, I always stop to say hello. And be honest, you always swipe right when a dog is included in a Tinder profile.

4. They're obligated to hang out with you 24/7.

Even though our pets don't really have a choice, dogs are always down to snuggle on a Friday night or cook breakfast with you on Sunday morning (aka beg for bacon). Unlike our other friends, they can not bail on you on a movie night or ditch you for a hot date. Dogs also will not tell you boring stories about the latest drama or how they went out with their ex-boyfriend.

5. They have all the characteristics you could ask for in a best friend.

Loyal, fun, loves you to death, doesn't speak poorly about you behind your back, nice to your family and friends, non-judgemental...the list goes on and on. Basically your dog is a perfect combination of all your human friends best qualities.

There you have it, this is proof that your dog is the only best friend you need in your life. From watching Netflix on a Saturday night, to going swimming, to helping you meet new people, your dog has got you covered. There's nothing like your four-legged friend!

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.
