Have you heard? Mini pigs are the next best thing.

This is really just an ode to the miracle that is miniature swine, also known as mini pigs. To say I am obsessed with these little snouts of joy would be putting it mildly. My mom and I have this ongoing "joke" that this will be our next pet. Little does she know is that I am being completely serious (until now, I guess). I get that mini pigs might not be your cup of tea but just look at these adorable little oinkers below.

LOOK AT IT.

Try and tell me this is not the cutest thing you have seen all day, all week, and all month. If you say no, I will automatically assume that you are lying and can't be trusted.

They are companions.


I mean come on... now your pup can have a pal, too. Not to mention that these little bundles of joy are incredibly intelligent. Smart animals for the win.

They just want to cuddle.

You can Google the countless videos of pigs snuggling in blankets (not the food) and it is quite possibly one of the purest things on the internet. I will admit, when their little snouts peep out from under the covers I squeal in delight.

Don't worry, I'm not done yet...

Little Rascals.

Little bundles of energy. Look at 'em go.

Take me home, please.

I feel this calling in my life that I need a mini pig, and you know, it just might have to happen. Until then, I will keep living vicariously through the internet and its many images and videos of these damn cute little creatures.

Oink.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
