11 Reasons Why Having A Pet Fish Is The Best Thing Ever

http://www.jantaneeaquarium.com/

I'd like you to meet my pet fish, Louie.

He likes his purple tree, his flake food and his gem stone rocks. He's pretty awesome and has brought some extra happiness to my life ever since I brought him home.

If you're already a fish owner, you know just how awesome having a fish can be. And if you're not, the following eleven reasons will surely inspire you to get one!

1. Your fish will always keep you company.

What's better than coming home after a long day to your little fish swimming effortlessly around it's bowl.

2. Your fish will teach you how to be a responsible pet owner.

Taking the time to feed your fish, clean it's bowl and give it attention will make you a good pet owner and teach you responsibility.

3. Your fish will always be the life of the party.

Not only will you be filled with joy whenever your fish moves it's little fins but so will your guests. They will soon be making regular visits to visit your fish. It will swim it's way into their hearts.

4. You can deck out your fishes bowl or tank.

You can add cool plants, statues, rocks of many colors, gem stones and little even lights to give it a little ambiance and to make your fishes home as awesome and comfortable as possible.

5. You can give your fish a super cool name.

Like Todd or Mildred.

6. Your fish will quickly become a part of the family.

Soon your fish will have your entire family taking care of it and loving it.

7. You will inspire your friends to get a fish of their own.

Soon you and your friends will have play dates with your fish children.

8. Your fish will always be cool, calm and collected.

What's better than having a pet that's super chill? Fish don't ask for much. They are simple creatures.

9. Your fish will have a great personality.

They will never make a fuss or make a mess (at least not as much of a mess as other pets). They are always peaceful.

10. Your fish will always cheer you up.

Your fish will know just what to do when you're not feeling well. They know when to bring on the charm to make you smile.

11. Your fish will love you unconditionally.

They will need you as much as you need them. The more you pay attention to them and take care of them the happier and healthier they will be.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
