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.

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.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

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!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
