Why Dogs are Really a Girl’s Best Friend

And not diamonds.

Why Dogs are Really a Girl’s Best Friend
Frankie Lintner

First off, why can only men have the luxury of claiming them as a best friend? Because dogs are this blessing to not only men but everyone. They have stolen the heart of kids, teens and adults. Who else loves those cute videos or pictures of kids growing up with their dogs? It has turn into something more.

You could argue all day that your dog is the cutest but girls seem to have this higher connection with them. They feel what you feel and sometimes it is just nice after crying over a dumb break-up to have a dog snuggle up to you under the covers in bed. I mean can a diamond do that? Comfort you in a time of need? I thought a diamond is typically given to you by a male so how could looking at a reminder of the break-up help? Dogs take the comforting to a lovable level that no one can deny doesn’t make them feel better.

Often during exams, students stress out. There is a dog for that now. Who do you normally see soaking up with love and kisses from some puppies when a college brings them in during finals? GIRLS! We are way more willing to love on some puppies in public than guys are. Crazy, right? Not really, because we find this warmth in dogs that makes our hearts flutter. Can a diamond make your heart flutter? The meaning behind it might makes you do back flips but the diamond itself doesn’t.

As annoying as my dog can get (a very energetic dachshund), he comes as a big joy in my life. There is literally nothing better than coming home from college for the weekend and him being so happy to see me. You can’t get that from a person. He has these big brown eyes that when they look at you begging for food, you wonder how such a sweet thing can be given to us.

Needless to say, I am a little biased towards dogs, having two in my life. Although, I am not biased on if a purebred or mutt is better. I can’t tell you that a dog is the perfect thing for you because it is different for everyone. But being a female with two loving dogs, it is hard to not say they aren’t my best friends. Adventures with them are priceless and the way they are so happy is hard to not see a little light in their eyes. So I’d rather have a dog than a diamond, unless of course the perfect day rolls around. But for now, dogs will be just perfect.

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.
