8 Reasons Why You Need A Dog
Instagram

Last year, my roommate and I began watching the new series "Quantico" and were quickly blessed by the gift that is Graham Rogers. Soon, we found him on social media and were blessed yet again, this time, by his love for his dog Chuck.

This fluffy little beast is Chuck. Graham and Chuck are perfect examples of why everyone needs a dog in their life, and here are just a few reasons why:

1. You'll always have a friend to laugh with

I mean, I can't see through all that hair to tell if Chuck is having a great time as well, but he probably is.

2. You'll gain a new family member

Pictured here with his sister, Graham and Chuck seem to be absolutely loving life. Everyone in this photo is smiling. PURE HAPPINESS ALL AROUND.

3. Naps are better when you have someone to share them with

LOOK AT THAT FACE. HE IS SO SLEEPY. Dog naps are honestly the best kind of nap and the best type of bonding you can do with an animal.

4. You'll finally have someone to be a diva with that won't judge you

A dog will never judge you, it's great. Drop a piece of food on the floor and then eat it? Dogs won't care, they specifically enjoy food dropped on the floor. Sat at home all day watching Netflix? Your dog doesn't care, extra cuddle time for him.

5. You can teach them party tricks

Do you see that? That is pure trust between a man and his dog, Chuck knows Graham won't drop him. It's a beautiful bond.

6. Dogs make great travel heaters during the winter months

Don't have a winter coat? No problem just bring your little buddy along for the ride.

7. Dogs are easily transported

Many shops and restaurants allow dogs inside, so why not bring them?

8. You can take as many selfies as you want with them and they can't say no

This may be my favorite thing about animal companionship.

If you were on the fence about getting a dog, I hope I was able to help you make the right decision (get one, for sure).

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.

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.
