Let's face it, dogs are truly man's best friend. And if you disagree then I'm sorry, you're either lying to yourself or greatly missing out. As an animal science major, don't worry I love all animals, dogs have always had a special place in my heart and will forever be my favorite domestic animal. Each dog is fantastic in their own way, with their own personalities, and let's be real, they're just plain awesome.

Dogs listen to you

You can tell your dog, or any dog for that matter, every last detail about your life and they accept you and love you for what you are. They'll sit there and listen to all your problems without a care in the world.

Dogs will cuddle with you

Who needs a boyfriend or girlfriend when you have a dog? Dogs love to just curl up next to you and join you for a nap and what's better than that?

Dogs will let you know when something is wrong

There is nothing I hate more, although I apologize I do it myself sometimes, when someone refuses to tell me what's the matter. Dogs will always let you know when they need something and a lot of the time it's just a belly rub, and who can say no to that?

Dogs are hilarious

Dogs are honestly one of the funniest animals I've come across and they never fail to make you laugh. The amount of times a day I look up funny dog videos on YouTube is probably considered excessive. But I know that if I ever need a good laugh or pick me up, dogs never fail to amaze.

Dogs are adorable sleepers

Have you ever seen an adorable human sleep? I didn't think so. Dogs are just so cute that they are awesome even when they're sleeping. They also give us a laugh when they think they're chasing something in their sleep.

Dogs are always there when you need them

The only time this isn't true is when you are a college student and a dog sighting is hard to come by. But other than that your pup will always be right by your side whether you need a shoulder to cry on or just some puppy love.


Dogs will never judge you

The only reason they stare you down while you stuff your face with food is because they just want some too.

Dogs love you unconditionally

To a dog, you are their everything and they are going to worship you until the end. This is why dogs are so excited to see you when you come home, they never know if you're going to return and when you do, they love you for it.

Dogs are incredibly smart

I don't know about you, but I've met some pretty intelligent dogs in my day. This is includes my own dog, who I swear is a human living inside a dog's body because he knows too much.

Dogs help people

This can go in a lot of directions. There are therapy dogs, seeing eye dogs, and dogs trained to deal with humans and anxiety. There are police dogs and army dogs that help save people every day. The list goes on. Dogs do some pretty amazing things and don't get nearly enough credit.

Dogs make you happy

I don't trust anyone who doesn't smile when they're surrounded by a bunch of puppies.

Dogs are just awesome

If you disagree then I'm sorry we cannot be friends.

There are hundreds of more reasons why dogs are basically the best thing to happen to us, but I'll just leave you with these. Dogs are great and will always be considered man's best friend.

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.
