13 Reasons Why I Need To Apologize To My Cats
Amanda Reed

Do you ever look at something and think, "Wow, you are too pure and gentle to exist on this cruel, terrible planet?" Enter my three beloved fur children Peanut, Montague (Monty for short) and Thumper. I don't deserve them; they don't deserve me, the pathetic meme-referencing plebeian I am. They are not of this earth and deserve to be among the gods and cherubs and stars and with everything else that is wholly good. This is my apology letter to them, even though they can't read, and I'm sorry for that, too. Warning: Post includes lots of selfies. Don't read on if you hate pictures of cats and acts of shameless narcissism.

1. I'm sorry I only feed you dry food because opening a can of wet food is too much of a hassle for my lazy self.

You deserve much more than Iams. You all are Fancy Feast- worthy animals.

2. I'm sorry I use your likeness for horrifying Faceswaps.

Your face doesn't deserve to be on mine, and vice versa.

3. I'm sorry I take so many pictures of you while you sleep.

You did not consent to this. I am breaking a golden–and very important–rule.

4. I'm sorry for taking unflattering pictures of you.

I always get your bad side, even though all of your sides are beautiful.

5. I'm sorry for disturbing your peace to take photos of you.

All you wanted to do was relax, and all I did was wreck your life.

6. I'm sorry for documenting awkward paw placement.

I shouldn't, but I do.

7. I'm sorry for being a terrible bed.

You deserve to sleep among the gods. instead you sleep on me, a pile of skin and bones. I don't understand why.

8. I'm sorry I use you for my own entertainment.

You happened to be sitting on the chair, and I decided to cover you in tone-dollar bills because I needed a good laugh. I am a horrible pet owner.

9. I'm sorry for forcing you in all/most of my selfies.

I am a shameless narcissist, and you don't deserve to take part in my self-absorbed millennial shenanigans.

10. I'm sorry I use those weird Snapchat filters on you.

These filters don't make you look any better, so why do I put you through this torture?

11. I'm sorry for putting stupid filters over every picture I take of you.

I like the hearts, but I don't think you do.

12. I'm sorry for kicking you off my lap when I'm trying to do work.

You just want a cozy, warm place to sit, and I deny you of said cozy, warm place.

13. I'm sorry I put parts of my body on you when you're trying to relax.

There is literally no point to this. See point 9.

My beloved cats: I'm sorry I am obsessed with you and mess with your lives just to keep myself mildly amused. You probably hate me because of all of my nonsense. Regardless, I will still cover you in weird things and use all of the Snapchat filters on your wonderful cat faces.

Sincerely,

Amanda.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
