The One Thing That I Love The Most

I won the award, "girl in her sorority most likely to take her dog to formal."

The One Thing That I Love The Most
Michaela Jensen

There are many things I love, but the one thing that I love the most is my dog.

My love for my dog has been proven because I won the "girl in her sorority most likely to take her dog to formal" award, and to say the least, I was pretty proud of myself.

My mom, sister and I got our dog about seven years ago. I can still remember the day we drove up to pick her up. She was so nervous and was drooling all over my shirt the whole ride back home. I was so happy to take her home, and I couldn't wait to start training her and getting her transitioned into her new home.

As time went on, I fell in love with my doggie more and more. She is such a goofy dog and always makes me laugh.

She loves when I talk to her... If only she actually knew what I was saying. She will listen to you and turn her head from side to side as if she were analyzing what you are saying to her. She does, of course, understand the words "treat" and "outside." If you say either of them, she will go wacko and run around the house like a mad dog. It is so funny to watch her go crazy.

Her favorite foods are peanut butter and carrots. I know this because if I eat either of them, she will beg like no other in hopes that I will share with her.

She also likes cuddling...sometimes. She likes to sleep in our beds, and hers sometimes when she is annoyed with people. Even though she doesn't like to cuddle a lot, she will take naps on my feet when I'm laying on the couch, and she will cuddle up next to my side. It is so cute to watch her sleep.

Having a dog is like having a personal vacuum cleaner. She will always clean up spilled food or crumbs on the floor, which makes it less work for me, because she loves food.

If I ask her to go on a walk, she will respond with a really excited jumping movement. Just seeing her excited gets me excited and motivated to go get some exercise.

My dog can sense bad things. She makes a great guard dog. She has a frightening bark, but a body the size of my left arm. She will bark at anyone who walks by, other dogs or when the doorbell rings. Also, she barks at the TV when she sees any other sort of animal. (Yeah I know, it is weird -- and annoying, after a while.)

My dog is my best friend.

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.
