True Life: I Live With A Kitten

How can you not love them?

True Life: I Live With A Kitten
Kate Larsen

Life with a kitten is definitely an interesting experience. From day one they are checking everything out, being naughty, and needing constant attention. While they are a lot of work, they are worth it because of the snuggles and their overall cuteness. If you have a kitten of your own, here is a list of what it's like living with a kitten that you can probably, for the most part, relate to:

1. They get into EVERYTHING.

Including but not limited to: toilet paper, makeup, earrings, cups, chargers, pencils, hair ties, and everything else sitting out. Nothing is safe.

Eventually you get used to it. Putting away chargers and putting hair ties in plastic bags becomes a daily task. It's the price you have to pay to get a cute little kitten.

2. They have kept you up at least one night.

What should you expect the first week of having a kitten? No sleep. Be prepared for constant jumping around on the bed, running from room to room, and toe bites. Oh, and tip number 1 of having a cat in general? Leave your door open. They can't decide whether they want in or out.

3. You have also probably yelled at them at least once.

What do you do when you hear a loud noise from the other room? Run in, yell their name, and pray there is no serious damage. Each time you yell, you can't help but feel bad so it's hard to not reach over, hug them, and say you're sorry for yelling.

4. You feel like a mom to them.

They might as well be like your child. You feed them, spoil them, play with them, worry about them, and give them love. You just hope your cat considers you to be a "cool mom".

5. Your camera roll is full of all the cute things they do.

Whether it be how they are sitting, meowing, or something funny they did, you definitely got it on camera. It's normal for your Snapchat story to be of your kitten and only your kitten. I mean, who doesn't love cute kitten pictures?

6. You just want to hug them all the time because of how CUTE they are.

And another GIF because...

Seriously though. Even if they're naughty, their cuteness makes up for it all. There isn't much that needs to be said about this. Kittens are adorable.

7. But, they also do weird things.

Sometimes you wonder what goes through their head when they do the things they do. Is the sink really that comfortable? Does the wall taste that good? Most of the time, this pertains to cats any age. Cats in general can do weird things. To be honest, they probably think we do weird things.

8. You wonder if they are crazy sometimes.

From running around like a maniac to spreading toilet paper to each room, you can't help but wonder if you got a crazy cat. By talking with other cat owners, it's normal but you can't help but wonder.

9. But, in the end, you love them to death.

Yeah, they do a lot of naughty and crazy things, but they can be the sweetest, too. They will be there when maybe no one else will, cuddle you when you're sad, make you laugh, and provide you with some great Snapchat stories. Cherish the time you have with them, because it truly flies by.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
