9 Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Friends Than People
Teresa D'Aguanno

"A dog is a man's best friend." That is the most accurate quote I've ever heard. Dogs are such loving animals. I have the cutest dog ever (or so I think)! Her name is Molly and she is a mix of a cocker spaniel and a whippet. She is the most precious thing I have ever met. She acts like a human. She follows you everywhere and wants to hangout 24/7. You can't pet her and not get a thousand kisses out of it. Don't even try walking past her or sitting down without recognizing her existence, or she will bark louder than a screaming child, and she won't stop.

I don't know what I would do without Molly. She always brings a smile to my face and she never leaves me lonely. She's always right by my side, and excited as ever when I walk in the door.

Sometimes I think, dogs are so much better than people. And here's why:

They are always DTC (down to cuddle)

No matter where or when it is, your dog will always be down for a cuddling session.They will want to curl up next to you and watch a movie anytime. Sometimes you don't even have to ask.

They don't judge you

You could do something completely weird and they will not judge you for it. Of course, inside their head they are secretly judging you, but they won't admit it. You are free to do and say whatever strange things you're thinking.

They listen to you

If something just aggravated you or made you upset, they are the first ones to go to. They love listening to your problems and being there to vent. They will never get annoyed hearing you express your thoughts.

They are always giving kisses

You need love? Find a dog. They will greet you with millions of kisses and I guarantee they won't stop. If you're sad they can always give you a couple kisses to make you feel better.

They won't make you feel lonely

THEY ARE ALWAYS AROUND!! They follow you everywhere, every step you take, they are right behind you. It does get aggravating when they get in the way sometimes, but admit it, you still love it. You'll never feel alone with a dog, they just don't go away.

Always encouraging exercise

Boy do dogs like their exercise!!! They are always encouraging you to go on runs and play with them. They can keep you in shape and be your workout buddy.

They treat you like a queen

They look up to you like you're royalty. If you wanna feel special, they will give you the attention you need. They will make you feel on top of the world.

Never make you feel left out

Dogs are the people who don't let you down at parties. If you're alone and have no one to talk to, meet that dog in the corner of the room and they will make you feel like you're a part of the party.

They are your buddy for life

No matter what happens, you can always count on your dog. They will be your right hand man and encourage you through every step of your journey. There will never be a dull moment with your precious pup. You are so thankful for your dogs, and you don't know how you would get through life without them!

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.
