17 Weird Things All Pet Owners Do

If you have pets, you're probably guilty of some funny and weird interactions with your furry friends. You might not admit to it, but we all do them and our pets probably think we are weird either way, so might as well have some fun.

1. We pretend to be dead and see if they notice. They never do.

2. We call our pets on the phone and leave messages when we are away from them.

3. We show them pictures of themselves and say "look it's you!"

4. We refer to them as our children or our babies, and we literally mean it. They actually are our adopted children.

5. We make friends for them with other animals and assume they are now best friends after meeting once.

6. We have selfie sessions with our pets. They are just so cute!

7. We put on tv shows with animals to see if they notice the meows or barks. They actually do.

8. We've dedicated a love song to them and sing it to them to show how much we love them. "Boy I adore yooou."

9. We say bless you to them whenever they sneeze. Their little heart stops beating too when they sneeze.

10.We cry in front of them to see if they notice. They sometimes notice, but they don't care all that much.

11.We tell them they can't eat our food but we always give in because our pet is just so darn adorable! "Yes Max, here's the rest of my ice cream cone."

12. We celebrate their birthdays. Don't tell me you didn't buy your cat or dog a special treat and gather the entire family to sing happy birthday, dimmed lights, lit candles and all.

13.We have serious disciplinary talks. "We've got to discuss this attitude missy. You don't own this house. I'm sick of this back talk."

14.We know our pet is so much smarter than everyone else's pet. Your neighbor's dog is just so stupid next to your pristine feline.

15. We save them doggie bags from restaurants because they know we left the house to get food and didn't invite them.

16. We have normal conversations with them. "So what did you do why I was gone? Oh really that sounds so fun."

17. We forget that humans aren't as sweet, loving and easy to talk with as our pets so we try to ignore humans and bond more with our pets.

Our pets are our best friends and while we all do obsessive and probably abnormal activities with our pets, like calling them on the phone, it shows that we love them more than anything else. Our pets appreciate all of the constant love.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.
