When You Give A Girl A Dog

I watched a dog for a day, and I think I made a new best friend.

When You Give A Girl A Dog
Comegys

Four legs, a wet nose, hundreds of kisses and unconditional love -- how else would you describe a dog? Recently, a friend of mine asked me to watch her dog for a few hours. I was slightly hesitant because I knew I was pretty busy that day, but I decided to make the time. I have a dog back home in Maryland, so I wasn't sure how I would necessarily handle the energy of a crazy few-month-old puppy.

I would be lying if I didn't say that Scout was one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen. I would say that he was excited to see me, but really he was just excited to be rescued from his cage. I was lucky enough to spend three hours with this little guy, and they were the best three hours of my life.

Dogs create such a happiness in your life -- unlike any human. They will constantly love you no matter if you are mad at them for tearing up your new pair of shoes. They look at you with those eyes and you can't help but forgive them. Either way, I was so happy to watch my new friend for a couple hours because he made me realize how much I actually love dogs and how much I miss mine.

Scout, you are a piece of work, but I love you, man.

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.
