Dog Hair, Don't Care

Perks of Being a Fur-Parent
Jamie Taft

Wet noses, sloppy kisses, and a tail that just won’t stop; it’s your dog and he’s just trying to show how much he loves you. Through all those wet, slobbery, “oh ew” kisses he gives, you can’t help but think about the perks of being a “fur-parent”.

1. Always down to cuddle.

Your furry babies are always up for cuddling, whether it’s on the bed, couch, floor, or that chair that’s really only got enough room for one person but hey they’re cute so who cares? We can squeeze!

2. Greets you at the door.

No matter what happened earlier that day, no matter what lemons life threw or chucked at you, your dog will always be waiting right at the door for you with that wet nose, the bark that sounds like you’re being asked “where were you?”, and being jumped on. The ways of being known you’re loved.


3. Unconditional love.

Your dog will love you more than anything, no matter what. Never forget that. Just wait till you’ve got a cold and see how your dog acts, there won’t be a single moment of independence.

4. Personal vacuum.

This reason is just a little fun one, everyone drops food here and there and as long as it’s not a chicken bone or something else a dog absolutely cannot have; move your foot and yell, “Max, clean up aisle living room!” See how fast your dog comes running.

5. Will change your life.

Having a dog changes your life. They will teach you responsibility, friendship, and love. They are your perfect friend and guardian. Also once you have your own kids, your dog will become their guardians and protect them.

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.
