8 Reasons Why Your Dog Is Your Best Friend

I've had five dogs in my life, three with me now. Growing up surrounded by dogs all the time I have to say that a dog is the best friend that anyone could ask for.

Here are eight reasons why your dog is your best friend:

1. Always there with you.

No matter what, your dog will always cuddle up and be right next to your side. If you're happy, they're happy to be there with you. If you're sad, they're there to cuddle up next to you and make your tears go away. If you're mad, they'll probably look at you with those puppy eyes and I'm sure you won't feel mad anymore.

2. Sleeps with you

You're pup will always be down to climb into your warm bed versus sleeping on some cold floor or an uncomfortable puppy bed. They'll always cuddle up to the back of your legs or right next to you. They'll always be the one to sleep next to your side.

3. Never judges you.

No matter what you do or what happens with you, your pup will always love you. The choices you make will not affect how much your pup loves you. You never have to question if a decision is going to effect the love your dog has for you. Your dog will always care about you no matter what happens to you or with you.

4. Always happy to see you.

Whether you walk in the door from leaving your pup eight hours or two minutes, they are always happy to see you. That feeling of coming home being missed is a great feeling and your pup always gives you that. They know when you're leaving and I'm sure they get all sad, but as soon as you walk through that door, they're always happy to see you just like you never even left.

5. Your personal vacuum cleaner.

How many times a day do you drop things on the floor and just call your pup to come "clean it up"? If any food is dropped on the floor you can surely bet that your pup will come running to clean it up for you every time.

6. The best passenger

Now, I don't know about anyone else but I absolutely love taking my pup on trips with me. It could be all the way up to school or just to the store, I love having my pup on drives with me. A pup is the best passenger to have with you. They're always happy to be sitting up front with you and starring out the window watching what's going by.

7. The best model

You know that every time your pup tilts their head, licks their lips, or even just scratches the back of their ear, you just need to capture that moment of them. And I'm sure that most of your camera roll is pictures of your pup because you just love taking pictures of them so much. Overall, your pup is probably the most photogenic and you love taking their picture.

8. Just overall your best friend.

No matter what, they'll always be down with you to just lay in bed on the Saturday when you don't feel good or take that walk with you to get some exercise. They'll be ready to lay in bed and watch movies or binge watch Netflix with you. They'll be okay with just laying in bed with you in complete silence. More positively, they'll always be down to have a sleep over in your bed with you. They're the most loyal friend you could ask for. They'll be there through it all: college, best friend drama, boyfriends, just life in general. Your pup will always be your best friend.

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.
