14 Reasons Cats Are Better Than Dogs
Savannah Ratay

The debate between cats and dogs has been around for way too long. Let's all be honest with ourselves, cats are a lot better.

1. The solution to any problem is probably food.

Is your cat being a little moody or meowing a lot? Give it some food and I guarantee they'll be satisfied.

2. They're the best cuddle buddies.

If you've never experienced a cuddle sesh with a cat, you're really missing out. As long as you keep petting them, they'll be your cuddle buddy for days.

3. They're just as sassy as you.

Whats better than having a pet with the same level of sass as you?? Nothing.

4. They'll sit there with their tongues out and it's the cutest.

Do they even notice their tongue is sticking out?? I freak out every time my cat does this because it's just so adorable.

5. A paper bag can be their favorite toy in the world.

Out of all the toys and treats I've ever gotten for my cat, a Publix paper bag is her favorite thing ever. Whether she's rubbing her face against it, crawling in it, or laying on top of it, it always makes her happy.

6. They won't judge you for sleeping all day

A cat would never judge you for sleeping all day. They'd be right next to you and perfectly happy.

7. Cats are quiet.

You would never be woken up or scared by random barking at nothing with a cat. They won't even move when the doorbell rings.

8. Purring is the best.

I don't know how they do it, but purring is one of the best things about a cat. It just shows you how much they love and appreciate you.

9. You'll have a pest-free house.

I've gotten "gifts" of anything from lizards to rodents from my cat. It's gross but it's the thought that counts.

10. They clean themselves.

Cats really are the easiest pet, they literally clean themselves and are never dirty. Less work for you, more time for cuddles.

11. They also LOVE any kind of container.

Here's another example of how low maintenance cats are. My cat is entertained for days with any type of object that she can sit in or on.

12. You don't have to take them outside.

All of you dog lovers out there have definitely been forced to take your dog outside in some type of hurricane, snow storm, etc, while me, my cat, and her litter box were cozy inside.

13. Cats are cheaper.

Cats eat less and they don't need expensive toys and treats to be perfectly happy. win win

14. They're just overall way cuter.

This is my cat. She's the cutest animal ever and if you disagree, you're wrong.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
