People get pretty heated about the, "Dog person/cat person" debate. If you disagree with someone on the subject, they will proceed to tell you all the reasons you are wrong. Anyone who says "I like both equally" is a liar. You can like both, but only one can be the best.

I'm here to settle the timeless debate:

Sorry, cat lovers, but you are wrong. Here are six reasons why I'm a dog person and why you should be one too.

1. Dogs are so cute.

Cats are adorable, but nothing, I repeat, nothing, is cuter than a puppy. Puppies are even cuter than human babies )and that's coming from someone who really loves babies. They're just so small and fluffy and loving. Look.

2. Dogs are hilarious.

They're so silly. They'll chase their tail for hours, they look like goobers when they run, and they're always doing something weird like licking another dog's face, laying on their back with their paws in the air, or barking when they see themselves in the mirror.

3. Dogs absolutely love people.

Cats are rude. They make you beg for their attention. They ignore you when you call them. They hide for hours and are totally fine with no human interaction.

Not doggies.

Dogs lose it when you come home. They bark and jump and wag their tails and run around and bark some more, and they attack you with kisses and affection. They come running if you so much as pat your leg or whistle. They offer endless companionship, cuddles, and love. Meeting new people makes their whole week.

Absolutely nothing beats coming home and seeing how much your dog loves you every day.


4. They're always down to play.

The simple squeak of a toy or the rolling of a ball will set a dog off. They'll play with you for hours if you let them. And anything can become a toy! They're so happy and active.

5. Dogs are always down for a nap.

Dogs love to play, but they also love to be lazy. Lay on the couch and call your dog; It will come cuddle with you and nap until you're ready to play again.

6. Nothing and no one in the world is as loyal as a dog.

You've probably heard, "They're a part of your life, but you are their whole life" a thousand times. But with dogs, you understand it. Dogs have a special way of loving their owners unconditionally; even dogs who are abused or hungry often don't run away. No matter where you go or what you do, you can rest assured that your dog is waiting on you at home by the door, ready to greet you when you walk inside.

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.
