The Perks Of Being A Dog Walker

It’s the best job I’ll probably ever have.

Having a bad day? Need to just stop being around people? Well, there’s no one better to turn to than dogs! Walking dogs is honestly the best job for so many reasons.

Honestly, if I am having a bad day, walking into an apartment and see a happy dog run up to me so excited to see me, it makes me forget about the awful day I’m having, and I’m a little less annoyed after!

Like I just mentioned, they are honestly so happy to see you, which makes you feel actually appreciated and cared about for once, in this busy cold world. Being able to take a break and just play with some dogs in the afternoon is also a great stress reliever.

Escaping reality, even if it is just for a half hour or an hour a day, is so nice. Especially when there are a million things going on in your life, it’s a good little break.

It’s not a chore, but more of a therapy session! To just have a reason to relax in the middle of the afternoon or early evening is amazing, especially as we all get older and busier with our lives. Who wouldn’t enjoy spending time with a bunch of silly dogs?

When people think of dog walking, they often picture a bunch of dogs tangled and running in different directions, but it’s not bad, even if you do have so many! Most dogs are excited to be outside, but most listen and know they’ll get a treat after if they’re good!

It’s not only the best job, but also one of the most fun jobs, because your boss is basically the dog. Not dealing with humans and working is nicer than you’d think, but the humans are generous enough to pay a decent amount to walk their dog.

Every day isn’t always sunny, so literally the rain can be a damper, but it’s still worth it. The amount of good days definitely outweighs the bad.

So for as long as I can, I’m going to hold onto my dog walking jobs. And I suggest if you can find a job dog walking, even if it’s just one dog, you go for it. It’ll add a little more happiness to your days.

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.
