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?

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
