10 Ways You Know You're Becoming a Cat Person

1) Your bed is their bed.

You may have gotten that fancy new cat house complete with three floors and a mouse hanging from the very top, but their eyes are focused on something better--your domain. The space you have designated to yourself is now a thing of the past, but you're not too upset when there's a cat on either side of you.

2) Trips to the store become increasingly difficult.

You go in with the intention of picking up a few things for dinner, but what you return with is the entire pet section at Walmart. You can't help it, though. Your cat will be out of treats in a month and she's had her current toy for too long (too long being a grand total of three days).

3) Being away from home makes you anxious.

It's gotten to the point where you ask your friends if you can bring your cat along. It doesn't matter if you're going to the movies or out swimming--you want your cat to be there to experience all the wonderful things in life.

4) It started as one...and then it grew.

There was one stray cat. You took her in. Then there was another. You took him in. Then there were three more and you decided you just couldn't leave them out in the cold to weather the elements and get their little toe beans cold. Now you have an army of felines. Congratulations.

5) Privacy is a thing of the past.

You do not so much as sneeze, cough, or fart without the cats knowing about it and trust me, they will stare you down like you've insulted their great ancestors when you do. Don't worry, they'll still be there to rub against your legs when you're taking your afternoon poop.

6) You could make seven new shirts.

With just their hair. Really, it's everywhere.

7) They make the decisions in the house.

When you find yourself torn between two options, it isn't strange to go to the cats for friendly advice. Should you have steak or chicken for dinner? The cat will know. Always go to the cat.

8) Christmas isn't just for the in-laws.

If there isn't at least one stocking for each cat, there's something wrong. Their presents will be the most numerous in the house.

9) And neither is Thanksgiving, New Years, or any any other holiday for that matter.

But to be honest, you'd much rather spend your time with your cats anyway. And they're not at all upset about the table scraps they receive after a night of putting up with your drunken antics.

10) Time management is forever a struggle.

Do you go out to eat with your friends? Do you stay inside with the cat and watch cartoons? Will your significant other be upset if you ditch them for cuddle time with your babies? There's no right answer, and in the end you'd rather be spending time with everyone at the same time.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
