Cats: You either love them or you don't. (If you don't, you're wrong.)

If you're a cat lover like me, there are certain things you know just come with the territory of owning or being around feline friends.

1. When someone asks, "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"


Cats aren't just pets by any means. They are our babies. We feed them, love them, and spoil them with treats and toys. All of our pictures include them and all of our stories start with "You won't believe what my cat did!" Even when they are being mischievous, we love our fur babies. That's why, in ten years, we'll probably have several cats.

2. Cats are way more independent than dogs.


When it comes to independence, dogs are like freshmen in college. They get lost, scared, and don't know what to do. They can't keep themselves clean and someone has to give them a bath. Cats are like seniors. They keep themselves groomed and looking their best. They don't need constant companionship. A cat's owner knows that their fur baby will only come when it needs something important, whether it be a treat or a quick petting.

3. Cats are great masters of defense.


Don't let their sweet faces or soft fur fool you--- cats are skilled ninjas. Every cat owner knows that their cat has that one place that cannot be petted. One accidental slip of the hand, the claws come out. Cats, no matter the age, breed, or size, will handle anyone they think has "wronged" them. Watch out.

4. Cat hair---Cat hair everywhere!

We love our cats dearly. We love their purr, softness, and crazy antics. However, we do not love their hair, which seems to end up on everything and cling forever. You can usually spot someone with a cat by the loose hair decorating their wardrobe. We have ninety-nine problems and cat hair is number one.

5. Cats are our best friends.

Despite the occasion scratch or the never ending battle with shedding, cat owners love their cats more than some of their human friends. You can tell a cat anything---they won't judge you. They love you, too. They are the perfect companion to cuddle with and they always make us laugh.

What do you think, cat owners? Am I right?

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.
