10 Adorable Cats to Motivate You During Finals Season

timedotcom.files.wordpress.com

As someone who has been away from my cats for the entire college semester, I am constantly scrolling through Instagram accounts of cats or asking my friends to show me pictures of their own. There's something about seeing a cat, whether they're taking a nap or running around, that comforts me when I feel overwhelmed by academia.

Now that finals season has officially begun, I am in dire need of motivation to actually start actually studying and not burn-out after fifteen minutes of aimlessly looking at a series of flashcards. Seeing some cute pictures of my favorite animal encourages me to keep working, because if I finish this semester off strong, I can make my own cats proud (even though they don't necessarily know what I'm doing or where I am whatsoever).

Plus, looking at cats seems like the most productive study break I can think of.

1. The Hard Worker

This cat is trying to help in the best way they can.

2. The Health Nut

Get yourself a healthy snack to fuel your studying.

3. The Studious Fellow

They just want to be educated about our world.

4. The Sleepy Baby

Make sure you're getting enough sleep during this stressful time.

5. The Self-Care Guru

Take some time to pamper yourself and check on your physical and emotional needs.

6. The Squad

Don't forget to stay updated on your friends, because you will regret not hanging out with them once you all are separated during winter break.

7. The Procrastinator

Try to get all those papers in, especially if the deadline was two weeks ago.

8. The Fashionista

It's okay to wear sweatpants everyday during this time, no one is judging you.

9. The Felines of Fitness

Stretch your legs and unclench your jaw.

10. The Party Animal

Celebrate your accomplishments once it's all over!

I believe in you, but more importantly, these cats believe in you. Go kill those finals!

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
