When it comes to pets, there are all types of favorites people have. There are some people that are "cat people"; some people are "reptile people". However, the "dog people" are my favorite types, possibly because that's where I fall in line. In my opinion, dogs are the best kinds of pets ever for so many reasons.

1. They are always are happy to see you.

Whether you come home from an exhausting day of school or it's early in the morning, your dog is always happy to see you. They love to show you that they are happy to see you as well. Some dogs jump up and down while others just ran back and forth. Even when they have their bad moments, they are still good pets.

2. They love you, unconditionally.

A dog will love you no matter what. They always want to be your friend. Dogs are so good about comforting you in a time of need as well. No matter if it is a good day or a bad day, dogs are always there for support and love. It's basically like you're already married.

3. They love to play with you at any time of the day.

Something I have learned about dogs is that THEY LOVE TO PLAY. Every dog is different and plays in different ways. However, they all love to play with you. Whether that's inside or outside, with a toy or just playing with your hand, dogs are very playful.

4. They make great cuddle buddies.

Even though dogs are super playful, they have their calm and sweet moments too. Dogs make the best cuddle buddies. You could literally be watching Netflix and your dog just wants to cuddle right beside you. Dogs love it when their owners are near them and love to be touched and petted, so they are almost always down for some cuddle time.

5. They are loyal and protective.

One of the great things about dogs is that most of them are super good guard dogs. Literally, my dog will bark at a person that's not even close to the house, so she makes a pretty great guard dog. They are also super loyal. They won't just walk off and go to another person and be like "your my owner now". They will stay with you always and never leave your side.

To some people, dogs may seem like a lot of work, but they are totally worth it. To all of my fellow "dog people" out there, love your dog for many reasons, but definitely these!

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.
