College is a crazy time in your life. You jump right in, having no idea what you are doing, and as the years go on...you continue to have NO IDEA what you are doing.You can imagine how stressful that is! You try to live on your own for the first time, make food on your own for the first time, and your busy as heck all the time! Going through all this stress can be very detrimental! That is why you NEED a dog! Most people will tell you you're wrong, you don't need a dog, but I am here to tell you THEY are wrong! Here are some reasons you ABSOLUTELY need a dog in college:

1. I will always have a best friend!

Sometimes college can feel very lonely. I often find myself wishing I was home with my family. I miss the constant company. But with if I had a dog....I'd always have a friend!

2. When all my friends decide to go out, I'll have someone to "Netflix and Chill" with.

We all have those nights where we feel like everyone is busy but you... but your dog will always be down to a Netflix night.

3. I'll always have someone to cuddle at night!

Living alone isn't all it cracks up to be. Sometimes nights can be cold and lonely!

via GIPHY


4. I'll always be on time for class because I will have a great alarm clock!

Mom! I have to pee, I have to pee!

via GIPHY#

5. I will always be in great shape!

Although I might not love the gym...my dog sure loves to run!

via GIPHY

6. I will always have someone to eat dinner with!

Your not at home anymore. You don't have a dinner table full of family. And you don't always have a dinner date after a long day of class and work. A dog would love to share dinner with you!

via GIPHY

7. And when I burn said dinner... it will never go to waist!

Let's be honest, you're not too good in the kitchen yet, and you hate to just throw out all that food...

via GIPHY

8. I'll feel much safer on campus!

Just like Scooby Doo, my dog will be a great protector!

via GIPHY


9. And when I'm having a bad day ill always have someone to comfort me!

When you have 3 paper, 2 projects, and i have to be at work every night, sometimes you have a mental break down. And who better to listen and cuddle you than your dog! They actually say that the act of petting a dog can relieve stress

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
