9 Reasons Dogs Are Better Than People

We all know it's true.

9 Reasons Dogs Are Better Than People

At the end of a long day of work or classes, talking to people is probably the last thing you want to do. You'd rather not tell your mom about your day or call your doctor's office because you've been dealing with obnoxious co-workers and/or customers all day. All you really want to do is snuggle up on the couch with your dog. Honestly, at the end of the day (or really anytime), you have no problem spending time with your dog but don't even want to think about being around people. It's pretty clear that dogs are just, well, better than people, and here's why:

1. They won't talk back to you.

Your roommate might not want to hear you complain for an hour about your coworkers, but your dog will listen and not say a word!

2. They make great blankets.

There's just no better way to fall asleep than with your dog curled up next to you, snuggling and keeping you warm at the same time.

3. They don't hold grudges.

While people seem to hold onto your mistakes, dogs forgive you almost instantly. Maybe Fido was sad because you left for work in the morning, but his disappointment definitely won't show when you come home at the end of the day.

4. They appreciate the little things.

Never have I seen a human as excited over a stick or a chewed-up tennis ball as a dog can get.

5. They're fiercely loyal.

People may turn their backs on you, but dogs certainly won't. Your dog is your dog and he knows it.

6. They won't judge you.

When you're out with your friends and they all order salads, it's unlikely that you'll opt for that huge bowl of pasta. But when it's just you and your dog? You'll enjoy every last piece of spaghetti.

7. They're practically always in a good mood.

Your boss's mood may change every ten seconds, but, for the most part, your dog is just happy that you're home and happy to be alive.

8. They're happy doing absolutely nothing.

It seems like your friends always want to be going out and doing something all the time, even when you'd rather just be watching Netflix on the couch. Your dog will be right there with you, happy to lounge around.

9. They're just plain cute.

Let's face it...dogs are cuter than people. That's just all there is to it!

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.
