You know those days where you're browsing the internet and one thing leads to another and suddenly you're in the black hole of google/youtube. Well, a few days ago after an hour or so browsing the internet, I found myself just googling "puppies for sale SC" and man did that lead to some fantastic results.

I fell in love with a little grey chihuahua puppy named Blue and I can't stop thinking about him.

I've never been one of those people that has the incessant NEED to have a pet in college, but literally ever since last week, I've contemplated getting a sweet little puppy and thinking of ways I could hide it from my landlord who has a pretty strict "no pets" policy.

I know that it isn't the best time for me to get a dog anyway.

Once school starts I will be gone all day and I would feel bad leaving it alone all the time. I don't exercise, myself, so I don't know what makes me think that I'll have the motivation to take a dog out for a walk.

However in the back of my mind, I'm telling myself, I won't be gone so long every day since I have breaks in between classes. A small dog doesn't need much exercise.

Also, I would most likely spend every waking moment with that little bean scooped up in my arms. Not to mention that you would be giving a dog it's forever home and it wouldn't have to sit around aimlessly in a shelter/kennel wondering if anyone is going to choose them today.

Do you see how I'm conflicted?

I know that it won't happen, I won't get a dog until I'm living alone post-grad, but it's nice to imagine!

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
