When I was fifteen years old, my oldest sister gave me the best news ever. She was pregnant. I was going to be an aunt. I was so excited. I told her right away it would be a girl and sure enough I was right. From that moment forward I knew this little girl was going to change my life in so many ways.

I will never forget the day she was born. I was supposed to be going to a friend's house for a sleepover. I remember getting ready and my dad coming in the room to tell me my niece would be born that day. I was bubbling with excitement. The day had finally arrived for me to meet this special little girl. From the first moment I laid eyes on her, she had me wrapped around her tiny fingers. This was just the beginning of a magical friendship.

Being her aunt changed me in ways I never thought possible. Suddenly she became my whole world. I began to see things from a different perspective. I never knew how one tiny human could mean so much and make such a difference. I can't picture my life without her. I'm not sure how I lived before she was born, she makes every day brighter.

The relationship I have with my niece is so special. When we are together we are inseparable. She is my biggest fan for all my sporting events. I had the biggest smile on my face every time I took the court because I could always hear her cheering, "Go Auntie Megan!" Even if everything was going wrong in the game, I would look up in the stands and see her smiling face having the time of her life and know that no matter how the game ends up, I would always make her proud.

My niece has taught me the most important lesson I have ever learned. She taught me how to care about others more than I cared about myself. As soon as I met her, she became one of the most important people in my life and without her I wouldn't be the person I am today.

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

Finding the good in any situation can help you to find happiness in some of the simplest and unexpected places.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
