5 Reasons Dogs Are A Blessing In Life
Erika Sheets

If you've ever had a dog you'll know how it feels to have that one true "best friend." I mean they are called "man's best friend" for a reason.

Dogs are such a pure animal; although they can be mischievous quite a bit you'll never find a better animal to have as a pet in your household. I remember begging my parents to get another dog after my first dog (Sammy) had to be put down because of the sense of loss I had after losing something that had been there my whole life.

Losing a dog is like losing a part of the family that can never be replaced. Life is so much more significant with a trusty companion such as a dog for many reasons; so many that are way too long to list. However, here are some reasons why dogs will never disappoint you if you choose to own one.

1. They Are Adorable

All shapes, sizes, and color I almost guarantee you will never find a dog that doesn't pull at your heartstrings a lil when they give you that "puppy-dog look."

2. They do the funniest things that its almost ridiculous

From running into walls to just being goofy, dogs can crack you up with the smallest things you didn't even know could make you laugh. They definitely can be unaware of their surroundings at times.

3. They are always up for cuddling


No boyfriend? No Problem! Dogs are always up for giving a little love. Anywhere or any time of the day they never refuse to cuddle up and take a nap. So if you love naps as much as I do, this is a match made in heaven.

4. They love to love, and they know when you need it the most


No matter who you are, dogs generally will love on you whether its the millionth time you've seen them or its the first time. Dogs also know when you're upset to believe it or not and that's when they try to give us the most love to cheer us up.

5. They will always be loyal to you

The best part of having a dog is that they will always stay loyal to their owner no matter what. Dogs are the most loyal pet you could ever own.Trust me you won't be disappointed!

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

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.
