Who Cares About Romance When True Love Is A Four-legged Furball, Am I Right Ladies?
Eva Curiel Muzquiz

My family has always been obsessed with dogs, especially Golden Retrievers. Unfortunately, I didn't have dogs growing up because we lived in an apartment. I always dreamed of having a little puppy, though. My stepdad already had three dogs when we moved to San Diego, so I was overwhelmed! My house was heaven to me! One of the dogs was a Golden Retriever named Duke. He was a sweetheart. Unfortunately, he passed away. A few years later, we rescued another Golden Retriever named Stella. She was already big so I didn't get to see her as a puppy. Sadly, she passed away because she got sick. We were really sad, but we moved on.

Like I said, we were always obsessed with Golden Retrievers. One of my tías had two Golden Retrievers named Amber and Mica. We would always dog sit them because we loved them. My tía knew we loved Goldies. Then, back in 2016, she surprised with a Golden Retriever puppy! I wasn't there when she surprised us because I was at college, but my sister FaceTimed me and I was instantly in love. I wanted to go home so bad. He was so little and adorable!

We named him Cooper. He was a little cutie. He was Cooper the Cutie Patootie. He grew up so fast. I wasn't home all the time because I had to go to school, so everytime I saw him he was bigger and bigger. He would always bite as a puppy and it hurt a lot, but I didn't care because he was such a cutie. Love is more important than pain. The picture below was when he was just a couple months old!

When he turned one, we had a party. Why wouldn't we? We got him a cake and a birthday hat. We went all out. He enjoyed his cake so much. We sang happy birthday to him. Cooper was really a happy dog. And he made us a happy family. We love him so much, and I honestly don't know what we would do without him.

Now, he is almost two-years-old. He is truly a blessing in disguise. Cooper will always be there for you and follow you everywhere! He loves going to the beach and getting in the water. He loves going on hikes. He loves chasing bunnies. He basically is a little baby. He is our little baby.

When you have one Golden Retriever, you want another one because they're so cute. I've been trying to convince my parents to get another one so we could name him Anderson. Get it? Anderson Cooper. This has to happen, right?!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
