I know my dog will be there until the end.

4 Reasons Why Dogs Are Truly Man's Best Friend
Alison Moore

We have all heard it before, "Dogs are man's best friends." There is an extreme amount of truth behind this statement. Growing up, I've had my fair share of dogs which allowed me to truly grasp the meaning of this saying. Here are four reasons why dogs are truly man's best friend.

1. They are always happy to see you.

Whether you've been gone for 5 hours or 5 minutes, they will always be overjoyed to see you. My grandparents' dogs usually go insane whenever one of us walks into the house. You would think that we haven't seen them in days. Knowing that you have a dog to come home to that will actually be happy to see you, automatically puts you into a better mood. Your dog doesn't care if you look rough or stink from your rough day at work, they just want to see their owner, their best friend. No matter the day, they will always greet you with the same happiness every time.

2. They will always be there to listen.

If you want to recite a poem you've been working on for your poetry class or just need to vent, they will be there. Since they cant' talk back, it's truly the best scenario. They will never tell anyone your secrets or spill the beans on who you like, so you know you can count on them to just listen. They will make you laugh by doing something stupid just to brighten up your mood. My grandparents' dogs have a "dog gone wild" run around the table that always gets us laughing.

3. Whenever you feel down, they will be there to comfort you.

We go through so many emotions daily that sometimes when you're down and out, a nice long cuddle with your dog could do the trick of lifting your spirits. I know that I miss coming home to my dog and just laying down with her cuddled up on the couch. You will immediately start feeling better just because you have your best friend laying with you. Whenever a friend cancels plans, you can always count on your dog to be there to comfort you and have movie night together.

4. They will always be there to finish that last bite of food.

We all know that dogs love human food way more than their food. Whether you are just snacking or eating a full course meal, you will always have someone to finish whatever you can't. Honestly, who even needs a dishwasher when they will lick your plate clean?

I can truly say that dogs will forever be man's best friend. No matter your mood, they will love you endlessly. As a man once said, "He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, until the last beat of his heart."

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
