5 Reasons Dogs Are A Blessing In Life
Erika Sheets

If you've ever had a dog you'll know how it feels to have that one true "best friend." I mean they are called "man's best friend" for a reason.

Dogs are such a pure animal; although they can be mischievous quite a bit you'll never find a better animal to have as a pet in your household. I remember begging my parents to get another dog after my first dog (Sammy) had to be put down because of the sense of loss I had after losing something that had been there my whole life.

Losing a dog is like losing a part of the family that can never be replaced. Life is so much more significant with a trusty companion such as a dog for many reasons; so many that are way too long to list. However, here are some reasons why dogs will never disappoint you if you choose to own one.

1. They Are Adorable

All shapes, sizes, and color I almost guarantee you will never find a dog that doesn't pull at your heartstrings a lil when they give you that "puppy-dog look."

2. They do the funniest things that its almost ridiculous

From running into walls to just being goofy, dogs can crack you up with the smallest things you didn't even know could make you laugh. They definitely can be unaware of their surroundings at times.

3. They are always up for cuddling


No boyfriend? No Problem! Dogs are always up for giving a little love. Anywhere or any time of the day they never refuse to cuddle up and take a nap. So if you love naps as much as I do, this is a match made in heaven.

4. They love to love, and they know when you need it the most


No matter who you are, dogs generally will love on you whether its the millionth time you've seen them or its the first time. Dogs also know when you're upset to believe it or not and that's when they try to give us the most love to cheer us up.

5. They will always be loyal to you

The best part of having a dog is that they will always stay loyal to their owner no matter what. Dogs are the most loyal pet you could ever own.Trust me you won't be disappointed!

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.
