You are their person.

5 Reasons Why Your Dog Should Be Your Best Friend
Caroline Courson

1. They love you unconditionally.


Unlike people, your pup will love you no matter what. Their sense of loyalty is so strong that there isn't anything you could do to make your dog love you less. While humans are always trying to find the next best person, your dog will always see you as the best possible person for them. You are their whole world.

2. With them, you'll never be alone.


Your dog can't stand to be without you, not even for five seconds. They'll follow you to the kitchen, to the mailbox and even to the bathroom. I can't even take a shower without my dog peaking through the shower curtain to make sure I'm still there. It can be a tad annoying at times, but it's mostly endearing.

3. You'll always have a cuddle buddy.


Your dog will always be down to snuggle up next to you and watch a movie. They love the attention and affection, so cuddling is always a viable option. They enjoy your company so much so that sometimes, they won't just sit next to you, they'll sit on you.

4. They motivate you to exercise.

Your dog needs to run around and get some exercise just as much as you do, so why not exercise together? Whether it be a run around the neighborhood or a long hike up a mountain, your dog will always be there to accompany you. They tend to have more endurance and speed than you do, so having your pup with you while exercising will push yourself to be better, faster and stronger.

5. They greet you like they haven't seen you in years every time they see you.

No matter how crappy your day may have been, you can always count on a warm welcome from your pup to cheer you up. As soon as they see you, they attack you with puppy kisses and love. You can see in their eyes how much they missed you and how happy they are to have you home.

To them, you are their whole entire world. No one on this earth can compare to you in their eyes. The love they have for you is so pure and endless that it's hard to believe something can love you that much. They give you every ounce of love that they have, and that's why puppy love is the best love.

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.
