I've had my fair share of furry little four-legged friends over the years. Lately, I've been missing having my special little pal waiting at home for me with their rapidly wagging tail and dopey little face. I've been trying to convince my parents to let me bring home a pup for ages now and I'm hoping this list of all the reasons dogs rule will help support my case.

1. Every time you come home they'll greet you at the door like they haven't seen you in years.

No matter how long you've been gone, they are always so happy to see you.

2. You won't find a more loyal companion than a pup

Giphy

3. They never argue about what to watch on TV.

Giphy

They're happy to just cuddle up on the couch next to you.

4. Pups know that it's all about the simplest things in life.

Giphy

It doesn't take much to make them happy.

5. Dogs are the ultimate workout pal.

Giphy

They're always up for a long walk/jog around the neighborhood.

6. They always know when something is wrong

Giphy

And are willing to smother you in endless amounts of kisses and a good old fashioned snuggle.

7. Your pooch will keep your bed warm in those cold winter months.

Giphy

It's like having your own personal space heater.

8. Slobbery dog kisses are some of the best kisses.

Giphy

9. Pups know nothing but unconditional love for their owner.

Giphy

When you think about it, they're actually way too precious for this world.

10. Hanging out with your little doggo friend is one of the best ways to relieve stress

Giphy

Especially after a long work day.

11. Dogs are super protective of their owners

Giphy

So you'll know that they'll always have your back.

12. Pups encourage us to get out there and explore.

Giphy

They're curious little creatures that will fill your life with adventure.

13. They're guaranteed to bring laughter and smiles to your everyday life.

Giphy

14. You can dress your doggo up for the holidays.

Giphy

Santa hats, heart shaped sunglasses, New Years hats, you name it.

15. Let's be honest, they're better selfie takers than most of the people you know.

Giphy

16. Their positive attitude is infectious.

Giphy

17. Even when they do something wrong, they're adorable.

Giphy

I mean how can you stay mad at that face?

18. Pups teach patience and responsibility.

Giphy

19. I mean nothing against cats, but pups do their business outside

Giphy

Which is a huge plus, in my opinion.

20. They'll improve your social life.

Giphy

C'mon, we're all guilty of talking to someone on the street just to get a chance to pet their pup.

21. Dogs will listen to anything you have to say

Giphy

And the best part is that they won't judge you.

22. Pups are super smart, so you can teach them to do all sorts of cool tricks.

Giphy

23. Their favorite thing to do is to make you happy.

Giphy

Imagine coming home to someone whose sole desire is to make you happy.

24. Pups make the best vacuum cleaners.

Giphy

I mean have you seen how fast they'll snatch up spilled snacks?

25. Have you seen them?

Giphy

Just look at that face.

26. Dogs are the best friend that anyone could have.

Giphy

Their love and loyalty never expires so honestly, what other reason do you need?

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
