Why Hedgehogs Are The Best Small Pet

When people think of small pets they usually think of hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, or even mice, but I'm here to tell you to forget about all of those and get a hedgehog instead! Not many people think of a hedgehog as a pet they would want, but there are so many positive things about having them! Their quills may seem frightening but if you love them the way you should with all pet they will be calm and collected around you and you will be able to hold them no problem. I think it's really important that people learn more about these interesting animals and maybe even go get one as a pet. It is definitely worth it!

1. You grew up playing games that involved Sonic the Hedgehog.

2. You brush their little quills with a toothbrush to clean them.

3. They can be potty-trained (Haven’t mastered that yet).

4. Although they cannot be cuddled, they fold into little balls, and nothing is cuter than that!


5. They are super cute as babies and fat and even cuter as adults

6. Their favorite place to be is in a little cozy pouch, which is pretty much their own little sleeping bag

7. Bonus: You can carry them around in that sleeping bag and they don’t give a crap


8. They are really quiet and make barely any noise


9. They are not known to bite

10. They are really entertaining to watch run


11. And last but not least, they don’t make the best cuddle buddies but they will certainly try their best

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.
