The Perks of Being Your Furry-Friend (As Told by Your Dog)
Hannah Tadey

We all know (and love) those perks of having a dog: you wake up snuggling, share some food at the breakfast table, shed some tears as you say goodbye for the day, come home to get kissed to death and repeat it all again and again. Those feelings aren't just one-way; your dog lives on your love and, to prove it to you, has compiled a list of all the things she loves about being your BFF (best furry-friend).

1. When your body molds to mine throughout the night.

Dear human, every night I anticipate jumping onto your fluffy mattress, digging into my blanket so it's perfectly placed and cuddling up in your legs. You keep me nice and warm and make me feel so loved. I know sometimes you get uncomfortable and have to move a little bit, but just know that I'll always curl up to you no matter what position you may be in (yes, I will lay on you if necessary).

2. When you take me on a walk (again...and again...and again).

Oh, human, nothing makes me howl louder than when you say that beautiful four letter word: walk. Does Bella want to go for a walk? Is that even a question?! Of course Bella wants to go on a walk! Forget my harness and leash, we have to go now! I know I may pull you and forget to breathe out of excitement, but know that, behind this all, you are the one holding the leash, running with me and creating this euphoric state I am in, so thank you.

3. When you include me in your everyday shenanigans.

We don't always have to do what I want, human. Whether you're teaching me how to skateboard or how to do yoga, I'll be here with you. Downward dog? I can do that, too! Push-ups? I'll be down here to give you a kiss each time you lower yourself! Soccer? I love playing with balls! I love you, mommy. No matter what we're doing, I'll be here with you.

4. When we go on adventures in the car (just not the vet).

I love car rides most of the time, but even when I know where we're going and don't want to go, I'm fine as long as you're with me. If it's two of you in the car, I love cuddling up and taking a nap while the wind blows in my hair and makes me sneeze. If it's just you, though, I love watching our every move out the window and barking at any human I see.

5. Seeing your smile as you walk through the door.

You're the most important human to me, mommy, and when you get home each day your smile makes me smile/howl/go crazy. You are the favorite part of my day and, as much as I hate watching you leave, I love when you come home even more. You are my world and I would be a sad pup without you.

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.

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.
