8 Reasons Why Cats Are Better Than Dogs

Most people are obsessed with dogs and completely love them. However, I do not feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I do love running into dogs on the sidewalk and getting to pet them, however, I prefer cats and am much more excited to meet a new one. Maybe it is because I grew up with cats or maybe because of my personality, but whatever the reason, I believe cats are better and here is why.

1. They don't bark

There is nothing more annoying than a dog that won't stop barking. Whether it is a dog you meet walking down the streets or one barking the night away, the noise is extremely annoying. Cats on the other hand occasionally meow, but only when necessary. More importantly, they purr- which is the cutest noise in the world.

2. They are confident

They know they are the greatest animal to walk this planet, and they are not afraid to show it. They strut with such great confidence, as they should.

3. They were worshipped


Clearly, we can learn from the Egyptians. They worshipped cats, and I believe they were onto something. Honestly, I think we should go back to worshipping them too.

4. They are cute

I mean come on, think about Puss in Boots. He is absolutely adorable, and so are cats in general. They are furry, and many of them like to cuddle up with you. They are extra cute when you wrap them up like a little burrito and hold them in your arms.

5. They are content with being left alone

Cats don't need you to give them constant attention like dogs do. They are completely fine with being left home alone to wander the house. They will also leave you alone when you are busy. Yes, they may walk across your keyboard, but if you really need to be left alone you can push them away and they will leave, unlike dogs who keep coming back to bother you.

6. They are sassy

They can give you such an attitude. You can see it in their eyes and in their strut. I have a sassy personality, so I love having an animal that mirrors it.

7. They are easily entertained

You don't need fancy toys and squeaky balls to entertain cats. Cats are content playing with hair ties and sitting in boxes. In fact, it is best not to buy cats toys because they probably won't play with them.

8. Catnip

Sprinkle some on a toy or even on the floor for your cat, and just sit back and watch as they go crazy. It's just super fun watching them roll around on the floor.

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?

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.
