10 Things All Cat Owners Can Relate To

Owning a cat is probably one of the weirdest experiences you'll go through. You love an animal that hardly ever shows you any kind of remote affection, yet somehow you still find them to be the cutest little feline in the whole world. You live to make them happy, yet they act like you're their personal butler who never gets it right. It's a never ending cycle of love and hate. Although each of our little kittens is completely different, us cat owners all have the same struggles day in and day out. Even the most lovable feline has it's quirks so here's a list of things all of us go through every single day whether we like them or not.

1. The 4 a.m. 5k.

Seriously, what is this about? I need answers. I am rather tired of waking up to my cat knocking over every single item I own off the top of my dresser because she's "bored."

2. Cat vs. house plants.

They cannot coexist. Period.

3. The key to life? LINT ROLLERS.

I own so many of these things that it's kind of ridiculous. But what's even more ridiculous? I still seem to always have cat hair on me.

4. Sleeping cat vs. full bladder.

I think all cats have this little radar in their brain so they can detect when our bladder is about to rupture. They come and fall asleep right on your lap in the cutest possible position they can think of. This is clearly the ultimate way to show their passive aggression.

5. "The Stare".

This is the same look they give when you fill the food container, clean the litter box, eat any meat, sleep, use the bathroom, turn on the vacuum, and scold them — just about anything honestly. Still scary every time.

6. Christmas decorations?

No, I own a cat sorry. . . we don't celebrate Christmas with a tree or decorations or even scented candles honestly. They break everything.

7. The number of toys my cat owns could never amount to her love for the boxes they come in.

I really don't understand her, and yet I continue to spend the money. It's insane.

8. Venting to your cat.

I swear I'm not the only one who does this. Yes, I know realistically they probably can't understand me but tell me that after she meows when I say "You know what I mean?" She totally understands me.

9. "Did you just call her a pet?!"


I'm sorry, but my little one is not a pet. She is a part of the family who I spend more time and money on than anyone else. Don't offend either of us like that again.

10. She's crazy. . . but I love her

No matter how much I hate cleaning up the messes she makes or all the times she's "spazzed" on me for absolutely no reason, I still love her so much. Even if she is bat s*%t crazy.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
