If you have ever owned a cat, you've probably found yourself saying some of these things.

We love our cats! They're adorable, lovable, and great to have around the house. Of course, having a cat can come at a price (and not just the one at the shelter or pet store). As someone who owns four, I know a lot of these struggles. If you own any cats, you've probably found yourself saying some of these things.


1. "Where did this hair come from?"

It doesn't matter how many times you wash it or how often you use a lint roller; there is always still fur in your clothing. You can keep telling yourself that one day it'll go away, but you might as well just begin to accept it.

2. "I promise I feed/pet them regularly!"

Having company over or a housemate come home can be a great opportunity for your cat to howl and act like you never give it the attention it deserves. We know you just fed them ten minutes ago and pet them every chance you get, but your cat makes a strong argument otherwise.

3. "Why did I even bother buying you a bed?"

If there is one thing cats love, it's sleeping everywhere and anywhere... Unless it is the pet bed that you spent a lot of time picking out on Amazon. Honestly, they'll probably just sleep in the box it came in.

4. "How did you even get there?!"

Cats are the masterminds of finding weird places to perch and sleep. Getting in the sink? Easy! Somehow getting on the neighbor's roof? Not a problem! Jumping onto the couch? Well... let's not talk about that one.

5. "Do I smell okay?"

Going out in public is always a risk. Here's to another day hoping you don't smell overwhelmingly like your cat or its litterbox.

6. "This isn't for you!"

Their food and water bowls may be freshly filled, but that food you just sat down with looks ten times better. How can you say no to that face? Sharing is caring!

7. "Looks like I'm stuck..."

Aww, how cute! Your cat fell asleep on you. Too bad you need to get up to go do something. But waking them up would be rude! You can always do it tomorrow...

8. "I'm trying to work here!"

We know you are trying to work on a project or study for that big test tomorrow, but obviously petting your cat this very second is much more important than your income or future. You can try to ignore them, but that might result in them playing with your pencil or laying across your keyboard and papers.

9. "Get your butt out of my face!"

Yes, kitty, you have a nice butt... now can you please not stick it right in my face?!

10. "Can I get a little privacy?"

When your cat wants attention, you better stop everything and do it. Part of this means never getting to close doors without hearing desperate claws on it immediately after.

11. "You're lucky I love you..."

Cats get themselves into a lot of trouble, but we still love them. Those quiet bonding moments or playtimes all make it worth it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
