Five Things All Cat Lovers Know

They're not just pets.

Cats: You either love them or you don't. (If you don't, you're wrong.)

If you're a cat lover like me, there are certain things you know just come with the territory of owning or being around feline friends.

1. When someone asks, "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"


Cats aren't just pets by any means. They are our babies. We feed them, love them, and spoil them with treats and toys. All of our pictures include them and all of our stories start with "You won't believe what my cat did!" Even when they are being mischievous, we love our fur babies. That's why, in ten years, we'll probably have several cats.

2. Cats are way more independent than dogs.


When it comes to independence, dogs are like freshmen in college. They get lost, scared, and don't know what to do. They can't keep themselves clean and someone has to give them a bath. Cats are like seniors. They keep themselves groomed and looking their best. They don't need constant companionship. A cat's owner knows that their fur baby will only come when it needs something important, whether it be a treat or a quick petting.

3. Cats are great masters of defense.


Don't let their sweet faces or soft fur fool you--- cats are skilled ninjas. Every cat owner knows that their cat has that one place that cannot be petted. One accidental slip of the hand, the claws come out. Cats, no matter the age, breed, or size, will handle anyone they think has "wronged" them. Watch out.

4. Cat hair---Cat hair everywhere!

We love our cats dearly. We love their purr, softness, and crazy antics. However, we do not love their hair, which seems to end up on everything and cling forever. You can usually spot someone with a cat by the loose hair decorating their wardrobe. We have ninety-nine problems and cat hair is number one.

5. Cats are our best friends.

Despite the occasion scratch or the never ending battle with shedding, cat owners love their cats more than some of their human friends. You can tell a cat anything---they won't judge you. They love you, too. They are the perfect companion to cuddle with and they always make us laugh.

What do you think, cat owners? Am I right?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
