5 Reasons Why Your Dog Is Your Best Friend
fernfall.com

Are you upset about not having friends? Get a dog! There is no logical reason to choose human interaction over one with a walking fluff ball. Feeling sad? Pet fluff ball. Lonely? Let fluff ball sit on your lap. Dogs don't judge; if you make them your best friend, you'll be theirs too. So go out and get yourself a dog, or if you have one, they could probably use a treat right about now.

1. Dogs don't judge: Go ahead, eat that pint of ice cream, the only thing your dog is judging is how close they can get to you without being shooed away. (inches forward every few minutes)

2. Dogs are always excited to see you: Unlike Becky, who fakes smiles every time she's around you, dogs will never fake their excitement to be in your presence. Whether it has been two minutes of three days, nothing is like the welcome back your dog will give you.

3. Dogs encourage your anti-social behavior: Don't want to go out? Now you have an excuse. "Sorry I can't leave my dog for that long." It works like a charm, and your dog will be happy to spend more time with you. No more awkward baby showers or pampered chef parties for you!

4. Dogs don't give you attitude: Okay, some do, but for the most part they are pretty chill. No complaints from Buddy if you don;t want to walk him today. Coco won't mind if you sleep the day away. They don't have agendas ever. And most importantly, there is a complete absence of passive aggressiveness. I'm pretty sure we can all agree that that's the worst type of attitude.

5. Dogs will love you for ever and ever and ever and ever: Like no joke, that love is the strongest one you will ever have.We are so not worthy of the affection that they have to offer. If you are lucky enough to have a dog, embrace the crap out of it. So screw significant others and get yourself a dog today.

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.
