8 Reasons I Like My Show Heifer More Than You
Emily Adcock

Since I have been old enough, I have had my own show heifers. Automatically, my show heifers have always become my best friends and usually, my heifers rank higher than the people in my life. I don't know how many times I have changed my plans all because of revolving my life around my show heifers. As silly as it sounds, changing my schedule around so I can spend more time with my heifers makes much more sense, because well they're just simply better than people.

1. They don't talk back

I can tell my heifers to stop eating my pants and they'll simply stop; however, if I was to ask someone to do something or stop doing something there would have to be a drawn out argument as to why that this demand was not acceptable.

2. They always think I'm right

Now, more than likely I steer off in the wrong direction and could potentially be wrong, but my heifers never think so. They always believe that I am right in my information and never tries to argue my case. Although, you run into many people that would spend all day proving how you are wrong in some aspect.

3. They don't judge me based on my outfit choices

The amount of dirty looks that I get when I look like I just rolled out of bed is quite large, but my heifers could care less if I brushed my hair for the day or if I'm wearing clothes that smell like the barn.

4. They will let me take an unlimited amount of pictures

Some people don't quite enjoy the amount of pictures that I take, but my show heifers sure do enjoy it when the camera comes out and they can be photogenic.

5. They appreciate all that I do for them

The numerous hours that I spend feeding and spoiling them don't go unnoticed by my show heifers. Sometimes people maybe overlook the amount of effort that is put in by myself. Every once in awhile it is nice to know that you are appreciated for the effort you put forth.

6. They don't interrupt when I ramble on to them

Many life decisions, bad days, exciting moments. I can have a thousand conversations with my show heifers and they won't ever nudge me to stop, they'll just lay their heads on my arm and just listen. On the other hand, I can have a thousand conversations with people and they begin to interrupt and believe that what they have to say is so much more important than me finishing what I was saying.

7. They don't complain about my singing

The radio gets turned way up and so does my voice because when you find that song you enjoy you just have to sing along. Where some people may complain about me not being on key and such, my show heifers think that my singing is half decent.

8. Or my dancing

You know, sometimes they'll even dance with me whereas anybody else would just walk away and shake their head

So, if you ever ask me to do something with you and I say, "No, I have things to do with my show heifer" don't be alarmed, I just like my show heifers more than you.

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.
