6 Reasons Why Your Dog Is Better Than A Boyfriend
Nicole Farina

Some call them man's best friend, or the best therapist anyone could get. Dogs, the delightful beings that we all know and love, are potentially the greatest creatures to ever grace us with their presence on. They might not be able to cook for you, or drive you places, or tell you jokes like a boy can, but who needs those boy activities (or boys in general) when you've got a snuggly companion by your side? Your dog is better than an icky boyfriend any day of the week, and here's why.

1. They never fail to be the first ones to greet you when you walk in the door.

They make you feel important. Tails wagging, barking, and jumping galore, they pounce on you as if they haven't seen you in months. And it's only been three hours.

2. You take the cutest selfies with them.

And the best part is, they can't even complain about it. Ha.

3. They are the ultimate cuddle buddy.

Whether you're having a bad day, or just want to lay down on the couch and watch TV, your dog is always your go to pal to get all comfy cozy.

4. You can dress them up in ridiculous costumes, and they can't do a thing about it.

No talking or opposable thumbs? Say no more. Skunk Halloween costumes, elf outfits at Christmas time, and even a little doggie jersey from your college is a must.

5. Their happiness becomes your happiness.

Their wagging tails and constant kisses never fail to brighten your day. And, watching them chase squirrels in the background guarantees to put a smile on your face.

6. You're their whole world.

You may only have your dog for a certain part of your life, but dogs have you for their entire life. You mean more to them than their favorite chew toy and favorite treat combined. And hat's saying something.

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.
