Being A Single Mother Of Three (Pets) In College
Nicole Lohmueller

In This Article:

Being a single mother of three in college is pretty tough, not going to lie. It's not what you think though — my children are animals. I currently am the mother of three pets, Finn (dog-mix), Anakin (dwarf Chinese hamster) and Kylo Ren (betta fish). I love all three with my heart, and the only pet that really causes trouble is Finn, but it's just because he also gets away with a lot because of how cute he is.

This is Finn, and I mean come on, how can you not let it go that he got into the trash earlier?

This is Anakin, who is probably the most overlooked of my pets. Finn overtakes most of the attention from him, but I think that he's just a doll and so fun to have sleep on you while you read! He's self-sufficient, doesn't really bite and loves to snuggle.

Nicole Lohmueller

Finn isn't too sure of him, and many people are worried that Finn will eat him. And to be honest, I'm a little scared too, which only makes being a mother of three oh so much more fun.

And finally, we have Kylo Ren, who is a friendly little betta who lives a carefree life. He doesn't get into trouble like Finn and doesn't have as much as a chance to be eaten as Anakin, which makes him the easiest of the bunch. His namesake is a little sassier than him, but Kylo still is sassy and hides whenever new people come over.

Now I'm not a ~typical~ mother of three, but while college gets crazy and out of control sometimes, looking at these little (or not so little) buggers make that life just a little bit easier.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
