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.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
