"Crazy cat ladies" are just women who love cats -- a lot. Sometimes they have 14 different cats, and sometimes they only have one, but she doesn't need to own a dozen to be equally kitty-crazed. One puss will do the trick when it comes to stealing all of the attention.

So what can you expect when you get into a loving and devoted relationship with a woman who loves cats?

1. She greets her cat first.

The cat was always there for her in her loneliest hours, he has listened to all of her problems, and he has never judged her when she didn't shower for three days and ate an entire tub of ice cream on her own. The bond is real, and you're going to have to respect that as if you were respecting her spending time with her best friend.

2. She introduces her cat first.

When she meets someone new, you probably aren't the first picture she pulls up on her phone.

3. She calls you kitty.

The amount that she baby talks to her cat really comes to light when she tries to baby talk to you and says the wrong name. It's without a doubt more forgivable than slipping the name of an ex.

4. It's Christmas every week.

For her cat. Every time she goes out she finds a new gift. You're not completely on the back burner, though. Your gifts are just maybe... monthly.

5. She doesn't act like your mom.

She already has to cook and clean for her cat, she didn't sign up for her significant other to be another pet. Expect to make your own meals, probably even her meals, and most definitely pick up your own dirty laundry.

6. You feel like you already have a child.

Remember when you were a kid and you had a reserved spot on your parents' mattress? This is similar to the spot saved on the bed specifically for her other significant other.

7. You start to wonder if she is actually a cat.

You hear random meows throughout the house only to find they're coming from your favorite human. Or is she actually your favorite cat?

8. She expects you to love her cat as much as she does.

You're basically agreeing to a relationship with both her and her cat. This might seem undesirable at first, maybe even unattainable. You might even need to channel your best acting skills to pull it off, but you eventually fall in love with the little furball too.

And even after you come to terms with her cat lady-ness, you could always just dress up like a cat and battle for first place on her list.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
