8 Reasons Why My Dog Is Practically My Best Friend
3 Million Dogs

People are great -- they really are -- but sometimes, they are not enough. They might be busy when you need them, even though they said they would drop anything for you. They might get annoyed with you or get angry. They can be reliable, but not all the time. I feel like this is the number one reason God created dogs. Here are eight reasons why my dog is my best friend.

1. He is always happy to see me.

Whether I left five minutes ago, or five days ago, my dog is always excited to see me. Heck, he's even excited to see me after I've been in the shower.

2. He always wants to play.

He is always in the mood to play. I never have to wonder if I am going to bother him by trying to have fun with him.

3. He is fantastic at cuddling.

He cuddles better than anyone I know, and he doesn't mind cuddling me. How much better can it get?

4. He protects me, no matter what.

It doesn't matter if it is a big, scary man or a small, scary bug, he makes sure that nothing is going to harm me.

5. He gets excited when I get excited.

I could be freaking out over something as simple as finding a T-shirt I have been looking for. He jumps and gets excited with me and never gets jealous of my excitement.

6. He is loyal to me.

People come and go and continuously stab you in the back, but dogs don't. It doesn't matter if I yelled at my dog for doing something he wasn't supposed to, he still loves me and looks up to me no matter what.

7. He loves to eat as much as I do.

It's hard to find someone that loves food as much as I do, but dogs eat anything you put in front of them.

8. He always makes me happy.

He manages to do all these crazy things that make me happy. He doesn't even realize that he is making me laugh or happy, but he does. He brings joy into my life that no one else can.

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.
