Before I go any further, I just want to put out there that just because I like love cats, it does not mean I also do not like other cute and cuddly animals like dogs. I feel like this is a common misconception and I just wanted it to be clear that there is room in my heart for more than cats. Also, nothing against boys, it's just that...well.....cats are better. A lot better actually. And I have reasons why.

1. They're cats.

This pretty much sums my life up in one gif. It's an accurate representation of how I feel about cats and how I get when I am around them. I can't really say I've ever felt this way about a boy, soo...

2. They're super soft and fluffy

JUST LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY ARE I JUST WANT TO HOLD THEM IN MY ARMS FOREVER.

3. When they dig their claws into your skin you don't even care because it's like they're getting closer to your heart.

As we all know cats are finicky animals and they may or may not like you which is fine because I can relate to that. But when a cat lets me hold him, you bet I'm never letting go. And in that case I have to feel the pain love of his claws digging into my chest. This has happened to me once. But it was worth it. Always.

4. It's really cute when they cuddle and snuggle up against you

Look how cute they are *cries*. And I mean, I guess you could cuddle with a guy....I guess. But why would you do that if you had the option of cuddling with a cat?

5. Sometimes they may run away from you, but it's ok because they're just so cute.

I've had my fair share of cats run away from me, but I'm not mad. I kind of run away from people too, so I get it. But cats running away from me don't prevent me from going after them like..

6.  They're so cute when they're sleeping

Just look at this. Can you really tell me this doesn't just melt your heart away? Would you really rather watch a boy sleep (which is low key creepy), or watch cute cats sleep? I know what I would rather do.

7. When they rub their face into you and when they purr while you pet them.

Ooooooooooooooooomg. I had this happen to me once and I almost cried. I was cat sitting and she kept rubbing her face into my knee. And then when I was petting her she would purr, and I would just be like, yes. You like me.

8. Watching them play is really cute.

I don't know what it is about string, but cat's really like playing with it. Like, they're really amused by it and it's fun to watch. I was cat sitting these two cats once, and one of the cats liked me but the other one didn't *sigh*. But as soon as I brought the string out to play with, the cat who didn't like me also played with it so that made me happy. Although she did stay far enough away from me so that I couldn't pet her. But that's ok.

9. You can have more than one.

This right here is my goal. Seriously. Now, could you have seven boyfriends? Well....maybe, I'm not sure. I don't know your life. But having seven cats would be a lot better.

Fun fact about me! I don't actually own any cats (sad face), but when I finally get a cat (or 20) all of them will be named after characters in The Lion King aka my favorite movie.

10. You can literally just Netflix and chill with them

Granted that they will probably leave and get bored, but there will be times where they will just sit and chill with you.

11. They're cats.

Need I really say more?

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.

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.
