Please, mom. I'm begging.

You're Worried I'll Be Lonely

What better way to ensure that I will always have someone I can talk to, rely on to comfort me, and bring me joy during my saddest times. Having a cat will allow me to have someone to spend time with while my human friends are busy with work, other friends, personal lives, etc.

I am living on my own for the first time, which means it is the perfect opportunity to introduce a pet into my life.

Cats Need to be Adopted

Take a look at the Springfield Humane Society's website. You will see that A LOT of cats are needing homes right now. Especially older cats, which is the kind of cat I want! They are all so cute and need so much love.

Who am I to see this happen and not do my part to help? Didn't you raise me to ALWAYS help those in need?

It Will Help Me Grow

During my three years at school, I have figured out the whole "taking care of myself" thing. Now, I should move on to taking care of something else. Something more than a plant or a hedgehog.

You Didn't Want to Get a Dog Either

Before we got our dog, you were adamantly against it! Now, the two of you are best friends. She was supposed to be my dog and I hardly get to see her! I deserve to get love from a furry friend as much as you do.

Please

I'm asking really nicely. All of my friends also think it's a good idea. I think it's the best idea. It helps all parties involved in the matter. You can even help me pick them out.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
