Cats freak me out, sorry pals.

22 Reasons To Never Have A Cat

Cats suck. I'm sorry, I said it. I will never be a cat person and there is no changing that. I don't mean to bash all you cat people and your trusty pets, but they aren't for me. I would never wish for something bad to happen to a cat, but they won't be hanging out in my house. There are about 400,000 reasons why not to get a cat, and these are just a few that come to mind:


1. They aren't dogs. Really, this should be all that anyone ever needed to hear but apparently that was not argument enough for some crazy people.

2. You buy a pet and then spend all your time looking for them.

3. They pee inside. Litter boxes are absolutely gross. Sand and pee. Smells good, huh?

4. They get on your counter top and their hair will end up in your food. Like come on, human hair in food is bad enough.

5. You can't take a cat for a walk. I think if you put a leash around a cat it would bite you.

6. I repeat, they aren't dogs.

7. They eat mice.

8. Kittens are cute, but cats are mean. They trick you into thinking they are sweet and cuddly then they get fat and start pouncing on people.

9. Taylor Swift likes cats.

10. You always have to worry about them getting outside because they can't survive outdoors.

11. Their food looks like puke. Pet food all looks gross I'll give you that, but cats in all their prissiness, have wet food making it 400x worse.

12. The phrase doesn't go "Cats are a man's best friend".

13. Hairballs. Enough said.

14. Villains in movies always have cats, so having a cat also means you are probably evil.

15. There is such a thing as a naked cat. I know there are other hairless animals, but a cat with no fur just looks unfinished and scary.

16. Did I mention they aren't dogs?

17. They hiss. Which is one hundred percent the brattiest noise in all of the world.

18. Literally everyone is allergic to them. So if you buy one, you better also buy a huge pack of allergy meds because your guests will need them.

19. In the case of an intruder, a cat will do absolutely nothing. Dogs are there to hold down the fort and bark if a stranger comes, cats would probably just run away.

20. You can't take a cat on vacation with you. A dog can enjoy the beach and run around with the whole family, but what would a cat do? Sit in the hotel room purring? How cool.

21. Walking past black cats is literally bad luck.

22. If someone told you that you reminded them of a cat, would you be happy about it?


I'm not saying never get a cat, but then again...yes I am. Cats are creepy. One day I am sure I'll have a cat and I will love to hate it, but for now I am boycotting cat ownership.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
