Truly a woman's best friend.

An Open Letter To My Soul Mate, My Dog
Corrine French

I think we can all agree that the purest living being on this earth is a dog. No matter what, if you have a dog, you always have a friend. There's no better feeling than waking up to a cuddly paw on your arm or a wet puppy kiss on your face. Dogs just generally make our lives more awesome, and there isn't quite anything better than that. To have a partner in crime, a body guard, and a best friend all in one is God's way of telling us that he loves us, and he cares for us. Here are some of my favorite things about my dog, Hutch.


Dear Hutch,

The only words I have for you, to tell you how much you mean to me, are the words "I love you." Having you in my life, even as simple as the idea of a dog is, truly has blessed me from the very moment I met you. I remember picking you up, driving all the way to Michigan, just to meet you. Your bright little eyes, tiny paws, and soft fur won me over at that very moment, and I have loved you ever since.

You're always down to cuddle

No matter the time of day, where you are, or how many squirrels there are to chase out in front of you, cuddling just can't be turned down. I love jumping into bed after a long day at school or work, and you're right behind me to watch a movie and cuddle for hours.


You listen to my rants

Hey, let's be honest big guy — I complain about my days A LOT. But thats okay, because you're always there to listen, and even lend a helping paw. It's hilarious to see you react — occasionally tilting your head, listening to all that I have to say. You are my favorite shoulder to cry on, and even offer the occasional hug when times are really tough.


You LOVE to hangout any time of the day (or night)

When I'm lonely on a Friday night, or early in the morning when nobody is up — you're always up for an adventure. Going for walks is your absolute favorite, and our ice cream dates are what really excite you. I have so much fun with you, and you're the best listener and the cutest friend I have. Thanks for being my exercise buddy and the best date out there.


You're my Soulmate

I never want to imagine life without you. You're a part of the family. Without you in my life, I'd be lost. I definitely wouldn't have anyone as genuine, or furry, as you. Thanks for being the purest, most loving guy in my life. Even though you're totally spoiled, and I'm seriously convinced my mom likes you more than she likes me, having you in my life has been the greatest blessing. All my love to you, and I can't wait to spend many, many more years with you. Here's to more cuddles, ice cream dates, and longer walks. All my love to you big guy.

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.
