5 Struggles Of Having A Cat

Or should I say cats

5 Struggles Of Having A Cat
Taylor Marquart

I love my two kitties to the moon and back but most of the time, the give me a run for my money. I guess they make up for all the annoying and irritation by being super cute.

1. Love on their own terms

The kitties approach you when they want pets and other sources of love. I am never successful when I try to initiate any belly rubs. Most of my attempts end with claws or bites to the hand. Any attempts to pick up my cats are also equally as unsuccessful.

2. Naps in the most annoying spots

Like laying on my laptop when I'm trying to cram for a test or get a paper done. My least favorite is when they try to lay on my neck while I am trying to catch up on my sleep.

3. Kitty hair on all your favorite clothes

There aren't enough lint rollers for this annoying act of kitties. It's almost like they know exactly what outfit I am going to wear, and they are adding their own touch of style to it.

4. 6 AM feeding time

The second the bowl is slightly empty, I have two 12 pound kitties jumping on and off of the bed. The additional meows and head butts make it entirely impossible to ignore them and fall back asleep. It doesn't stop until someone gets out of bed and fills the bowl.

5. Wiping around the house

Basically for the six hours of the day they don't spend sleeping. They use this time to chase each other around the house.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
