Why Adopting a Dog is a Bad Idea
US News Health

Adopting a dog is actually the best idea ever, I just wanted to catch your attention ;) I adopted a puppy about a month ago and it was seriously the best decision ever!

1. Forever have a cuddle buddy

Everyone is always talking about how they wish they had someone to cuddle with. A dog is the perfect match! They will always lay up against you and are less likely to move away because you don't really annoy them like you can a partner.


2. Saving a life

Dogs lose their lives every day, for no reason at all. Humans get tired of taking care of them and choose to neglect and get rid of them whenever they please, not remembering dogs have lives too. Shelters are overflowing and are having to turn away and even euthanize dogs just to make room for more. ugh. so sad.

3. They're THE sweetest dogs

I don't know what it is, but somehow, shelter dogs are the sweetest pups around. They just want to love you, lick you face and play with you all day long. Puppy kisses are some of my fav. You can't not love it.

4. Exercise

Seriously. If you are a good dog parent, which I hope you are, you talk your dog out on walks or runs or if your like me, you even go up and down flights of stairs constantly just to take them outside. Think of all the extra exercise you're getting! And it's not really super annoying. I love taking my puppy to the park and walking her around the trail. It's good for me and her! plus, it's so rewarding when you hit 10,000 steps on your fitbit.

5. Unconditional love

Seriously, no person can match up to the love of a puppy. They don't really get mad at you, they just want to love on you, even when you don't show them so much love, they still love unconditionally. They're a forever companion and shall be cherished as so <3

This is why you should definitely {not} adopt a dog ;)

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
