10 Reasons Why Dogs Are The Greatest
Brooke Wheeler

If you are a dog lover, like me, then you understand the need to go up to every single dog you see and pet it. There’s just something about them that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Please enjoy this list of how dogs are the greatest of all time. If you are a cat lover, then please don’t bother continuing. Sorry nothing personal or anything, but we can’t be friends anymore.

1. They are our best friends.

Dogs are never going to leave our sides. They will be there for us for the happy, sad and life-changing moments. They will always love us, no matter what.

2. They know when we are upset, and attempt to cheer us up.

I don’t know how they know, but they know. If we are sad, they are the first ones to come snuggle up next to us, or lick our face (eww).

3. They are protective of us.

It always makes me feel safer being home alone, knowing that my dog growls at the slightest sound, even if it is just a June bug.

4. They are always excited to see us, no matter what.

“What? You were only gone for five minutes? It seemed like a lifetime! I missed you so much!” -dog

5. They are adorable.

How can you not love that face? You have to admit they are pretty dang cute.

6. They love people.

If they deem you safe, you better believe they're going to jump on you and give you bunches of kisses.

7. They're smart.

"How on earth did you just do that?"

8. They enjoy the simple things in life.

Nothing will make your dog happier than a walk, car ride or treat.

9. They're goofy.

“Why are you making that face? What are you doing? You weigh 60 lbs., you cannot fit on that tiny dog bed."

10. We can actually learn a thing or two from them.

Dogs love us, no matter what size, shape or color. They appreciate the little things and just enjoy life to the best of their ability.

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.
