Cat-people and dog-people are constantly fighting over who's furry friend is superior. Move over dog-people because this cat lady is about to reveal the truth with 7 reasons why cats are the best pet.

1. A Fuzzy Alarm Clock

You were up late studying and fell asleep using your text book as a pillow again. You were so busy studying that you forgot to set an alarm for your 9:15. Don't worry! Your fuzzy feline remembered that you get up, feed him, then leave to let him eat in peace. He is feeling pretty hungry and there is no food left in his dish, every morsel is gone (except for all the pieces pushed against the side of the bowl, but those aren't important). He would get the food himself, but since he can't he will gently caress your face with his paw until you fill his food bowl and do whatever else humans do after that.

2. Way Better Than A Stuffed Animal

Are you in need of a Netflix cuddle partner? Forget the stuffed teddy bear or your significant other and get yourself a cat. Unlike a stuffed animal, cats are warm and (sometimes) cuddle you back. Just don't count on being able to see the screen half the time. Hey, at least you can still hear it!

3. Never Worry About Open Drawers Or Cupboards

This morning you had to quickly grab your notebook out of your desk before making a mad dash for class and you left your drawer open. Your cat is worried that someone may see that you left it open and steal all of your things. He will sit in it and protect all of your things until you return (and after that, just to be safe).

4. No Longer Fear Bathroom Monsters

Cats are aware that bathroom monsters exist. They also know that they are the only thing that bathroom monsters are afraid of. They NEED to protect you from the bathroom monsters. I mean, who else will feel them once you are gobbled up.

5. Leftovers? No Problem!

The space in the fridge is limited. Your cat knows that, he's been in there. Instead of letting good food go to waste, your kitty will be there to save the day.

6. Bring You Presents

Your cat cares about you, but has no way (or money) to express it. He really likes mice and insects so he figures so will you! It's the thought that counts.

7. Rewards for Pets

After a long day of work or school, your cat knows exactly what you (and he) needs. A good old petting session. You pet him and he purrs for you. The pets make your cat happy and love you even more. The purrs rejuvenate your soul and spirit. It's a win-win situation.

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.
