Why You Need A Dog Instead Of A Boyfriend

So far in my life, I have seen girls bend over backwards to impress someone who honestly could care less. I’ve seen my friends cry because a boy hurt them. I have been there for the late night gossips and ice cream and hate parties. I’ve seen my friends lose themselves in the chase for boys, and I’ve lost friends because of boys. Now, I’m not saying boys are bad. I have great guy friends, and I’ve met so many boys that are respectful and everything good in the world. All I’m saying is that why do you need a boy when you can have a dog? A dog can give you everything a boy can, and then some.

Think of it this way: you feel like you’ve been single forever, and you’d like a nice boy to come home to and cuddle. Well, if you had a dog, you can 100% guarantee that every night when you come home, that dog will be there waiting to snuggle up next to you. Another plus is that dogs are super soft and great cuddlers!

Dogs are always there for you, and they are little sponges of empathy. When I was little and I would cry, my dog Bruno felt my pain and would sit there howling with me we while I let the tears pour out.

Dogs will give you all the kisses your little heart desires. And every kiss is a very genuine kiss of love.

Dogs love you unconditionally. Your dog will love you no matter what, and they live and breathe for YOU. They would do anything to make you happy.

If you are in need of someone to talk to, dogs are great listeners and will pay attention to you the whole time.

If you want to eat an unnatural amount of food with no judgment, your dog will happily join in and still love you for you. But please refrain from sharing chocolate with your dog!

Who needs a boy to take you to dinner when you can take your dog on a walk for free!? It’s great exercise and is amazing stress relief.

Dogs are super loyal, don’t have to worry about your dog cheating on you!

There is no peer pressure with dogs. YOU DO YOU.

You don’t need to worry about the dog being high maintenance. Dogs require only a few things. They need food, water, walks, playtime, and love. And that's not a challenge because dogs are cute, and just who doesn't love dogs?

Dogs come in all different shapes and sizes. You can go to a store and see which one is right for you before you take them home! No need for dates, you’ll be set for life once you pick your fluffy little creature.

You don’t have to dress up to impress your dog. You can wear all the makeup, or no makeup with those baggy sweat pants you love. You don’t have to jump through hoops to make your dog love you, because no matter what you look like, your dog just sees you... and all the love and treats you give him.

As you can see, dogs are just absolutely the best choice for all your relationship needs. They exemplify all the best characteristics and are overall great creatures. Go out and get yourself a dog, because they are great way to help increase your happiness and will never let you down. So, next time you feel yourself down about boys or even just sad in general, go visit an animal shelter and play with some dogs, because I can guarantee you’ll feel so much better.

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.
