8 Reasons Why Everyone Needs A Dog
Author

1. Endless cuddle sessions

I mean of course you can have that soft pillow and comfy blanket, but is that ever enough? I don’t think there is anything better than having a little or big ball of fur to cuddle with whenever and wherever you want.

2. They hug you with their eyes

You don’t need to ask your dog for a hug when you need one. They just get you and know when they have to give you that look and they can make all of your worries go away.

3. They teach you responsibility

While having a dog is a lot of fun and games, there is more too it. They still need to eat, go for walks, be entertained, and go to the bathroom. Having a dog is like having a mini child, including how blessed we are to have them.

4. Having a dog is better than having a boyfriend

You don’t have to worry about your dog cheating on you. You don’t have to worry about the break up and heartbreak. You don’t have to worry about your dog liking other girls’ Instagram pictures. Need I say more? Your dog will be endlessly devoted to you.

5. They forgive you even when you're mean

Even when you’re having a bad day and take your bad mood out on your dog, they wont hold a grudge. They will most likely still try to snuggle with you and make it all better.

6. You can tell them all of your secrets

Why is their hair so big? It’s full of secrets. No matter what, you can tell your dog all of your deepest darkest secrets and I can guarantee you they will never get out. My dog is my walking diary and my favorite person to gossip with.

7. They love you even when you look ugly and might smell

Your dog will never ever judge you. They don’t care if you forgot to put on deodorant that day or if you haven’t washed your hair in 3 days. Is there anything better?

8. You always have something to look forward too when you come home

After that long day at school or work, feelings defeated, exhausted, sad, tired, or angry… There is nothing better than coming home to a loving creature waiting to greet you and embrace you as soon as you step your foot in the door. For that reason alone, I thank my dog everyday for being my favorite part of my day/life.

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.
