10 Reasons Being Around Dogs Makes Your Life Better
Megan L Powers

So every college student knows the highlight of your day. The day that you see a dog (unless you are just some crazy person who DOES NOT enjoy the happiness a dog brings). It is an absolute proven fact that they automatically bring so much more joy into your life and make everything in life so much better. The combination of those furry, happy faces with their tales wagging at uncontrollable paces makes any college student's day. You never truly realize how much you miss the little things, like having a dog around. They truly make a big difference in your day-to-day joyfulness!

Who knew that a cute wagging of the tail could so quickly turn a frown, around?

So here are some tips for seeing more of your furry friends!

1. First of all, To those who own dogs: I apologize for all those who do not have dogs in our current situations. We think that your dogs are absolutely adorable. It is our absolute joy and pleasure to come and see them! But sorry for your slight delay. So for all of us dog loving people, be okay with approaching those dogs! People really do not care and their dogs absolutely love all the attention!

2. We all know that seeing dogs playing in the Fountain and running in the field in front of Moody library makes our weeks extremely bright, so take the time, get a to go box and go watch some dogs.

3. Take the time to see the dogs, it makes the weeks so much better. Do not talk yourselves out of it saying I do not have the time. Those precious few moments that you have with that dog, makes life quite a bit brighter, helps us think a little bit clearer, and makes that memory stick with us for the week - bringing up a more positive note.

4. Non-dog current people, we should take some advice from those who have dogs and stop all the time to put up with our dog loving obsession, we need to carry on the tradition of letting the poor dog-less people pet our dogs. So that we too can make someone's day brighter.

5. And the most important thing that I have learned so far about seeing some precious pretty cute dogs is Animal Shelters. You may ask, why would I got there? Because they truly have the cutest dogs and all they want you to truly do is play with them! And the best part about going and seeing these precious pups, is that it relieves stress - so do not make "no" your excuse to stop going to see those precious pets, it will most likely HELP you get your work done and it helps them and YOU!

So all that to say, go say hi to that precious pup or go see those dogs at the shelter, it can make quite a difference.

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.
