10 Times Having A Cat Makes Your Life Better, Including When They're Definitely Judging You

In This Article:

I recently just got a cat, and these are the perks that I have noticed in my life in the past week since I got her.

1. Constant entertainment

Literally... they will be having a spaz attack at 10 p.m. and you just can't help but to laugh hysterically.

2. Always enough judgment to go around

With my cat, I always feel like she is judging me. To what I wear, to my friends, and everything in-between.

3. Snuggle buddies... when they want to be sweet

They love to snuggle, but it has to be on their time. If you have a cat, you understand this. If you don't have a cat, if they don't want to lay down with you, they just won't. But if your cat is sweet like mine, she will :)

4. They are low maintenance

Cats are nothing like puppies or other animals. They don't have to be under constant surveillance. And if you had to leave them at home alone, it would not be a problem since they do their own thing anyway.

5. They are interested in anything that moves

Lasers, toys, balls. You name it, a cat (a kitten even more so) will chase it and play with it. I once bought my cat a toy, and she played with the wrapper, not the toy.

6. iohgwrI'KDB'NA'

From my cat: they type on your keyboard for you.

7. Always waiting on you when you get home

Always! There is just something about having an animal be excited to see you that warms my heart.

8. Use a litter box

There is no need have to spend extensive amount of time potty training them. For the most part, it is an instinct. They know where they are suppose to go to the bathroom. However, you just need to make sure the litter box is always easily accessible.

9. They do not destroy everything

You can leave shoes, homework, books, and a number of other things on the ground or out in the open, and you won't have to worry about it being totally destroyed when you come back home.

10. They will be your best friend

There, I said it, a cat can and will be your best friend. Just give them the love and affection they need.

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.
