Not all of us are purrfect - unless you're a cat.

16 Things That Your Cat Does That You Shouldn't Do At College

For most college students, the first day of class is approaching and the move-in process has started. Undeniably one of the biggest cons of living on a college campus for me is that I can't take my two kittens with me. Although I'll miss having them around, here are some things that cats do that no one should do on a college campus.

1. Don't get inside every box you see when people are unpacking.

2. If you want to bring a welcome gift to your roommate, don't bring them a dead animal.

3. Don't run up to someone to socialize the second they sit on the toilet.

4. And don't play with their toilet paper either.


5. Instead of bathing yourself in front of everyone, make sure you use the community showers.


6. Make sure you let your other roommates or hall mates use the shower too - don't bathe them.

7. And don't lick the water from the shower.

8. When it's time for a meal, don't beg for everyone else's food when you already have some.

9. And don't insist on drinking water from the sink.

10. Don't scratch up your furniture or your roommate's things.

11. When people come to your room, don't hide under the bed. They would probably rather study with you than try to find you.

12. If you decide not to hide from visitors, don't swat at them.

13. Don't hiss at them either. Even if you're in a bad mood.

14. And, please, actually acknowledge your visitors, though it may be tempting to ignore them.

15. Curl up on your own bed instead of hogging your roommate's bed.

16. Or on clean laundry.


There are quite a few things you can learn from your cats. Though they teach you how you should love others and still not care, they also do things that you should not.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
