Are Dogs Really Man's Best Friend?

Image
Some people may argue that dogs are not a man's best friend. They may talk about dog attacks, certain breeds, or that they only "love" us because we give them food. I am here to counter these arguments and show why dogs are our true companions. Certain breeds of dogs are seen as vicious or as fighting dogs, but time has shown that people have bred them this way. Dogs have been bred for certain tasks in a humans life like hunting, personal safety, or show. The dogs themselves did not have a choice on why they were raised the way they were, or how they were taught growing up. For example, a security dog may be raised to attack when told, when a threat is felt, or if their owner is in danger. This action is not an instinct, but it was a learned habit. Same goes for dog attacks, except they may not be exactly trained to do so. When dogs are being raised they also need to be rewarded for good behavior and reprimanded for bad. If a dog is not put in its place from the start

Why I Think Relationships Are Pointless

To me, being single makes me feel a lot more appreciated and happier. Not once have I been in a relationship where it is fifty-fifty, and I feel like I can fully trust the person I'm with. Time and time again I have been stabbed in the back and lied to about the smallest things, but it still hurts. I have been used by many guys for bets and just for a body count, and none of these times I understood what was happening until it was too late. Boys have lied to me about where they are even when I have proof about their whereabouts and about other girls they have lined up for when they are through with me. Boys have a certain way of making me feel depreciated throughout my day. If I clean up around the house, do dishes, laundry, or try to come home early to see them I don't get any sort of thank you or recognition. When I try to ask for help if I am busy, then they make a big deal about it and ask why I can't. I am still in school and busy with homework so I don't have

Vacation! Vacation! Vacation!

Summer is a time where everyone packs up and leaves their home. Whether it be for a week, couple of week, or a whole month. There are several vacation spots that are easy to find, but where are the cheap ones at? There is a favorite vacation spot I like to hit whenever summer rolls around and I would like to share it with you. One of my top vacation spots is Atlanta, Georgia. The big city of Atlanta has several things to do and see, and there are also several things in the cities and towns surrounding it. Some of the stuff to do right inside Atlanta is the Georgia Aquarium,  Zoo Atlanta, World of Coca-Cola, and the CNN Center. The Georgia Aquarium is located near the Central Olympic Park, near the Coca-Cola museum and CNN. It has a total of ten thousand gallons of water for fish, and they house more than a hundred thousand animals. They host activities like swimming with whale sharks and interactions with penguins, dolphins, or sea otters. There is an aquanaut adventure where visit

When Can Life Become Too Much?

Staying busy is a part of life. Some people have school, work, cleaning to do at home, errands to run, and find no time for themselves. As a college student I find it extremely difficult to sit down and find time to watch television,  read, game, or to just close my eyes. I am stuck doing countless hours of homework, cleaning the house, and working three days a week. Staying busy may keep us from getting bored, but how can constantly engaging in tasks negatively affect us?  Always having a thought on your mind about something you need to do, or constantly thinking for homework teachers throw at you can make you feel frazzled. Another way to put it is that you start to not think clearly and you may feel heavy-headed or tired. This is because your mind is pushing itself to keep working even when it needs a break and if you are feeling stressed it adds to the strain your brain may feel. It is very important to take a break from all of the work you are doing and relax. If you take a brea
