I love cats. Yes, I'm probably gonna be that "crazy cat lady" one day but that's okay. I've learned to accept it. Each cat has their own personality and I love them. Whoever said that when you talk to your cat that they don't understand you that's a lie; because I think cats do understand us. Cats are cute and cuddly and I sympathize for those people who are allergic to these kitties. Here is a list of 13 things that most cat owners have done (or maybe more specific things to me that I have done with my cats but I wanted to share anyway.)


1. Shown cats their reflection in a mirror and they think is what they see

I used to do this when I was younger, but I still do this to the one cat that will let me pick her up. The other cat I have is too big and she hates being picked up.

2. Tried to hold hands with a cat

http://en.goodtimes.my/2017/11/10/cats-like-rest-paws-hands-3-reasons-tell-us-2/

Yep, I still do this. Constantly.

3. Lost one cat and asked the other cat where they are

https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-advice/cat-and-kitten-flea-treatment-advice

Somehow one cat always finds that one good hiding place in the house and I have no idea where they are.

4. Gazed lovingly at your cats while they're asleep

They're just so cute!

5. Woken up earlier than expected with a cat staring at you

Creepiest thing ever.

6. You've taken so many pictures of your fur babies that your phone storage is almost always full and you think their selfies are hilarious

http://upgradeyourcat.com/why-do-cats-sleep-at-the-foot-of-the-bed/

I have HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of pictures of my cats on my phone.

7. You've woken up with a cat on your head before

Sometimes this happens.

8. You're okay with some love scratches and bites

https://www.catster.com/lifestyle/how-to-treat-cat-bites-puncture-wounds

Cats love to bite and scratch, I think that they think that it's a form of affection and they don't know that they're hurting you.

9. You can have cats or plants but not both

https://www.catster.com/cat-health-care/plants-food-poisonous-to-cats

Cats love plants!

10. Turn on the sink water for your cat to drink out of

Cats love running water but won't drink water out of a bowl for some reason.

11. Feeding your cat a little bit of human food because they look so cute eating it

http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/survey-results-which-human-foods-do-veterinary-professionals-feed-their-cats

Oh how they love to beg for food that they know that they're not supposed to eat.

12. Saying "bless you" when they sneeze

https://www.buzzfeed.com/katangus/21-cats-caught-mid-sneeze-who-will-make-you-say-god-bless-yo

*Cat sneeze

13. Putting catnip on everything to your cats go crazy

https://scienceline.org/2018/03/cats-get-high-off-catnip-cant/

Me: Look what I got for you! It's catnip! You love catnip! *opens bag

Cat: MEOW!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
