I finally caught the inevitable puppy fever, and it's contagious

Forget baby fever, I need a dog now.

You know those days where you're browsing the internet and one thing leads to another and suddenly you're in the black hole of google/youtube. Well, a few days ago after an hour or so browsing the internet, I found myself just googling "puppies for sale SC" and man did that lead to some fantastic results.

I fell in love with a little grey chihuahua puppy named Blue and I can't stop thinking about him.

I've never been one of those people that has the incessant NEED to have a pet in college, but literally ever since last week, I've contemplated getting a sweet little puppy and thinking of ways I could hide it from my landlord who has a pretty strict "no pets" policy.

I know that it isn't the best time for me to get a dog anyway.

Once school starts I will be gone all day and I would feel bad leaving it alone all the time. I don't exercise, myself, so I don't know what makes me think that I'll have the motivation to take a dog out for a walk.

However in the back of my mind, I'm telling myself, I won't be gone so long every day since I have breaks in between classes. A small dog doesn't need much exercise.

Also, I would most likely spend every waking moment with that little bean scooped up in my arms. Not to mention that you would be giving a dog it's forever home and it wouldn't have to sit around aimlessly in a shelter/kennel wondering if anyone is going to choose them today.

Do you see how I'm conflicted?

I know that it won't happen, I won't get a dog until I'm living alone post-grad, but it's nice to imagine!

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.
