Cat-people and dog-people are constantly fighting over who's furry friend is superior. Move over dog-people because this cat lady is about to reveal the truth with 7 reasons why cats are the best pet.

1. A Fuzzy Alarm Clock

You were up late studying and fell asleep using your text book as a pillow again. You were so busy studying that you forgot to set an alarm for your 9:15. Don't worry! Your fuzzy feline remembered that you get up, feed him, then leave to let him eat in peace. He is feeling pretty hungry and there is no food left in his dish, every morsel is gone (except for all the pieces pushed against the side of the bowl, but those aren't important). He would get the food himself, but since he can't he will gently caress your face with his paw until you fill his food bowl and do whatever else humans do after that.

2. Way Better Than A Stuffed Animal

Are you in need of a Netflix cuddle partner? Forget the stuffed teddy bear or your significant other and get yourself a cat. Unlike a stuffed animal, cats are warm and (sometimes) cuddle you back. Just don't count on being able to see the screen half the time. Hey, at least you can still hear it!

3. Never Worry About Open Drawers Or Cupboards

This morning you had to quickly grab your notebook out of your desk before making a mad dash for class and you left your drawer open. Your cat is worried that someone may see that you left it open and steal all of your things. He will sit in it and protect all of your things until you return (and after that, just to be safe).

4. No Longer Fear Bathroom Monsters

Cats are aware that bathroom monsters exist. They also know that they are the only thing that bathroom monsters are afraid of. They NEED to protect you from the bathroom monsters. I mean, who else will feel them once you are gobbled up.

5. Leftovers? No Problem!

The space in the fridge is limited. Your cat knows that, he's been in there. Instead of letting good food go to waste, your kitty will be there to save the day.

6. Bring You Presents

Your cat cares about you, but has no way (or money) to express it. He really likes mice and insects so he figures so will you! It's the thought that counts.

7. Rewards for Pets

After a long day of work or school, your cat knows exactly what you (and he) needs. A good old petting session. You pet him and he purrs for you. The pets make your cat happy and love you even more. The purrs rejuvenate your soul and spirit. It's a win-win situation.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
