If Your Pet Could Talk

Ever wonder what your pets would say to you if they could speak?

If Your Pet Could Talk
Malik Harris

For those of you out there with pets, real or imaginary (I won't judge), you'll completely understand that there are some things you say to your pet dog, cat, fish, rat, and other miscellaneous creatures that they'll never understand. Some of those things are very sweet, while some of the other things are probably not good for your pets self-esteem. However, I guarantee that we, as pet owners, have questioned what our pets would love to relay to here. Here are just a few assumptions I've created as what they'd tell us if they could speak.

Dog: "Play with me! Play with me! Play with me! I need your never-ending attention."

Let's be honest, if our dogs could talk, they would do nothing more than crave our endless attention. They really do not care if we're cramming for an exam, in the middle of a conference call, or taking a nap as deep as the ocean; they will get your attention somehow.

Cat: "Thanks for the $100 cat tower, but this loose thread hanging from your shirt will do just fine."

We really do overestimate what cats will love and interact with, but they are fairly simple pets, while somehow still being the most complicated pets at the same time. Does that make sense? Did I just make this complicated? Am I part cat?

Hamster: "3:30 am? Great time for a run on this squeaky wheel!"

For those of you have never owned a hamster, they are annoyingly nocturnal. Not only are they nocturnal, but they become VERY active. If you're considering purchasing a hamster, you may want to invest in some ear plugs as well.

Fish: "Bubble."

So I really do not believe a fish would have much to say due to their extremely limited memory spans, but those constant bubbles blown in their tanks speak enough.

Unfortunately, I cannot make any promises as to the accuracy of these animal quotes; however, I am confident that I am not very far off. What do you think your pet would say?

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.
