Live. Love. Care about dogs.

1. Greet your loved ones.

Giphy

No matter how long you've been apart, greet your loved one like it's been years!

2. Always seize the chance to adventure.

Go for those joy rides! When a fun opportunity presents itself, seize it!

3. Enjoy the wind in your hair.

It's one of the best feelings ever to roll down those car windows and feel the wind in your hair and against your skin. So who cares about wind blown hair?! Have fun!

4. Take naps...

We all deserve to curl up and take a nap. Especially with our favorite people or pup.

5. Stretch out.

Giphy

A nice big stretch always feels amazing! And don't be ashamed of any spontaneous noises that come with a good stretch.

6. Don't be ashamed of who you are!

Let your freak flag fly! It's okay to be weird or different! People you love will love you for just being you

7. Have fun every single day!

Live everyday like it'll be your last! Just make the best of life and have buckets of fun!

8. Give others a chance to get close.

No one can live life entirely alone, so give others a shot and get close to someone.

9. Don’t bite if a growl is sufficient...

There will be some people that get on your nerves, but instead of going right for the bite, maybe just give a little growl. In human talk, don't go straight to yelling and shouting. Just give a nice reminder that you don't like what they're doing right now.

10. Drink lots of water and stay cool on hot days.

We all know that those hot days can make us just want to say inside, but others love laying out in the sun! Just make sure to stay cool and refreshed!

11. When you're happy, show it!

Nothing is bad about showing your happiness. So if you're in a good, happy mood let it beam from your head down to your feet.

12. Have a grand ol' time on a walk or run!

Exercise might not be everyone's favorite thing to do, but it's always good to go outside. It can be especially fun when you have a special someone or special pup to share it with.

13. Be loyal.

Man's best friend. Dogs are known for their loyalty. If we could all be as loyal to each other as dogs, then the world might be a much better place.

14. When a friend had a bad day, cuddle and listen.

Sometimes we can try too hard to cheer up a friend when they've had a bad day when all they want is some cuddling and someone to rant to. That's why it's so easy to talk to a dog because all they want to do is make you feel better with some cuddles. So take a lesson from your dog and next time that friends had a bad day, cuddle and listen.

15. If something you want is buried, dig for it...

Okay maybe not literally, but figuratively. Sometimes we have to work hard to achieve a goal or dream, so take advice from all the wonderful pups and keep digging until you've achieved that goal or dream.

If we all take the advice of these wonderful, adorable creatures than maybe the world will become a much brighter place! Now go hug a pupper for me!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
