Cats get an extremely bad wrap, being labeled as "mean" and "distant". Even though they are definitely independent, they still love affection and cuddles. They're soft fur and little bodies make for the perfect hugs. Other animals may give you the same amount of affection, or more, but none compares to them!

They have to choose you.

We all know dogs love to love their owners, but they also love everyone they come in contact with. Cats on the other hand, have to choose you. They're cautious and observant, which is a lot more human like than almost any other pet. They may not pick you all the time, but when they do you cherish it that much more. They almost make you feel special in a way!

They're hilarious.

Everyone has seen the viral funny cat videos, whether they are banging into a wall or jumping at the sights of cucumbers, they are always keeping us on our toes and cracking up! There is no better pass time than watching your cat knock down your pens or popping out of boxes.

They're low maintenance.

Even though they have extreme poise and stick their noses up to quite a few things, they are actually very low maintenance. They don't eat a whole bunch and they never beg. They also do not require lots and lots of attention and they sleep a lot throughout the day. All in all, they are perfect for a single, busy life-style, for people who are on the go!

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.

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
