8 Signs You're Dating A "Crazy Cat Lady"

Sometimes it's endearing, sometimes it's not.

"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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
