A Thank You to My Furry Best Friend

My easiest hello and hardest goodbye…

It’s no secret that a dog is mans best friend, but going away to college really solidifies that idea. My Siberian Husky means everything to me. She's been by my side for the past six years and I couldn't imagine life without her. She is my everything, and not only because she's fluffy and cute. Dogs mean so much to so many people for various different reasons, but here are the top reasons why all of our dogs deserve a “thank you”.

  1. They keep your secrets.

When humans can't be trusted, you can always count on your dog to listen to your secrets. They won't run and tell all of your business to the next living soul they see. Plus, they never get tired of listening to you, because, well, they love you.

2. Cuddle Buddies

This is pretty self explanatory. They are furry mounds of love who love to be by your side at all times. There is nothing that beats this.

3. Adventure Partners

Dogs love to adventure, whether it's hiking, going on walks around the neighborhood or going anywhere new. They love to go to new places and experience new things with their loving owners. Plus, they force you to go out and exercise.

4. Guardsmen

They are your protectors. Although some dogs are better than others, they all love their owners and will do anything to keep them safe. Even the smallest puppies are quite vicious.

5. They make you smile.

Everything they do is cute, even when they're being mischievous. They will surely put a smile on your face every day.

6. They are good for your health.

They improve your mood, and in turn, you see these changes in your overall health. Hapiness is key to your health, and what makes a person more happy than a dog?!

7. They're always there for you.

Literally, always. No matter how long you're gone, they will love you just the same.

8. They love you no matter what you do.

You could be the worst human being possible but they will always love you no matter what.

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.
