My Cat is My Best Friend

Coping With Leaving Your Animals While at College.

My Cat is My Best Friend

If you do not know me, I am absolutely obsessed with my cat, Charles. I rescued him when I was a junior in high school and we have been best friends ever since. For the first few weeks of college, I would FaceTime my mom each night just so I could see him and see his sweet face, Leaving the pet that you spend everyday with in high school really can take a tole on a person but I want for you to know that they do never forget who you are. Sure they are a little upset with you when you come home to visit but the next day, they want to sit in your lap and get all the attention they can because you still are their best friend. Oops I forgot I left this very important detail our- Charles is a twenty pound tabby boy. When we found him back in high school, he was only three months old and very frail. We found him in my alley behind my house in mid-November when it was just starting to get cold. I held him in my arms for a straight week, during the thanksgiving holidays, because he had to be warm all the time. Charles is not just your run of the mill kind of cat, he can do many tricks including sitting on command and also fetching his favorite toys which are pipe cleaners. He has the best personality and is always going to tell you what he thinks. He is truly a blessing and I am so happy to be able to spend some time with him this thanksgiving break.

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.
